It is not that Android was born within Google since this company bought the operating system from Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White in 2005. From then on, Google developed Android to what we know today; dividing said development to adapt the peculiarities of the system to very specific devices, often creating a device to act as a guide. In Wear OS none existed yet; deficiency that should not take long to solve.
Clean front, without bezel, with control crown and quite thick
We had already seen the Google Pixel Watch physically with a first photo of the front that anticipated a clean design for the watch. No bezel, with curved edges and lighting sensors well hidden around the panel. In the new photos that have been leaked there is no reason to add more imagination: the Pixel Watch has almost no secrets.
Android Central is the one who has obtained the photos of the Google Pixel Watch through one of its readers. With his progress, we can learn about the clean design that Google has applied to its first watch, as well as the curious hooking system with which it plans to anchor the straps to the dial.
for the photos, anchoring is done by pressure; to hold both parts in an apparently safe way thanks to some clips on the ends (this will make it difficult to purchase unofficial straps).
The Google Pixel Watch looks a bit thicker than usual for a smartwatch. Round dial, metal body, the inner face houses the device’s sensors (probably heart rate and SpO2; it is likely to include skin temperature measurement), everything indicates that it will be charged using a wireless charging base (hopefully Qi) and will offer two physical elements: the crown (with push button) and a second button with which to manage the operating system.
We do not know more specific details, it is speculated that the Pixel Watch will be sold in WiFi-only versions and with mobile connectivity; It would be available in three different colors: gray, black and gold; It would have 32 GB of capacity and would be released with Wear OS 3.1. Given the level of detail in the leaks, the most logical thing would be for Google to reveal the Pixel Watch during the Google I/O keynote, an event that will take place on May 11. The new hardware should be accompanied by a major revision of the software.
