Several compatible reports announced that it will be released soon. google smart watch. It would be marketed under the brand name. pixel. If Mountain View has fallen behind Apple, a solid leader in the industry, with the Apple Watch, it can count on the Wear OS smartwatch operating system and Fitbit’s expertise, which it acquired in 2019, when it comes to hardware. It’s a strategy that inevitably reminds us of Google’s maneuvers with Android and Pixels, and HTC’s takeover of its smartphone division.
What is the Google Pixel Watch release date?
We’ve been talking about the upcoming launch of a Pixel Watch for years now. For a while we thought the Pixel Watch would launch in October 2021 , along with Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. But nothing. However, if all goes well, Google should reach the deep end in spring 2022.
At what price will the watch be marketed?
Right now, no reliable leaks It’s about the price of the upcoming Pixel Watch. We do not know whether the watch will be mid-range or high-end. It is very likely that Google will release several versions of the Pixel Watch (notably WiFi and 4G LTE), which will allow it to cover a wide price range while meeting the needs of most users.
How is the design of the clock predicted by Google?
According to the first images of the Pixel Watch, Google would have preferred a design built on it.round borderless screen. The edges around the touchscreen are very curved. A physical touch similar to the Apple Watch crown appears on the right edge. Google would accompany the watch case with a silicone strap, available in a variety of colors including white, black, blue, orange, and blue.

Then it will be possible to invoke Google Assistant without having to press a button beforehand, while maintaining good autonomy. This feature is called “Blackghost”.
What software and features are built into the connected watch?
With the Pixel Watch, Google aims to introduce features of the operating system: Wear OS (formerly Android Wear), an Android version designed for wearable devices. And of course that starts with seamless integration with Google’s ecosystem and services. Pixel Watch will definitely benefit from the Google Assistant, with the ability to display information such as the weather, upcoming appointments stored in Google Calendar, reservations, flight status on the screen with voice command.
Another important feature for a Google-connected watch is contactless payment with NFC. The fastest and easiest way to make a physical purchase today: no need to pull out a bank card or smartphone, just put your wrist next to the reader. Wear OS already manages Google Pay, it’s unthinkable not to have such an option on the Pixel Watch.
Google Keep notes as well as Google Calendar calendar will always be available on the watch screen. Thanks to Google Maps, you no longer need to pull out your smartphone every two seconds to find your way. You can also monitor the status of your Uber ride without having to take your mobile phone out of your pocket. On the communication side, Wear OS supports Gmail, Messages and Telephony with the ability to view the emails, SMS or calls you receive, as well as reply via voice input from the smartwatch with microphone.

And finally, music. Changing songs or adjusting the volume is not very convenient from a smartphone in full physical activity. Not all audio devices (headphones or headphones) have a simple control to perform these actions. Being able to manage Spotify, Play Music or others from your watch is a real convenience.
It is not yet clear whether Google will prefer it. Power up your Pixel Watch with stock Wear OS (basic, pure version of the operating system) or with an overlay stamped Pixel that offers a new interface and additional features. For example, Pixel smartphones do not run on Android Stock, but with a Pixel launcher personalized by Google and exclusive to models in this range.
Google has applied for a patent documenting a technology. control your connected watch with gestures instead of the touchscreen or Google Assistant. This will be the most convenient way to focus on your activity while using the features of your smartwatch. For example, imagine running and skipping to the next song, just by clenching your fists. The possibilities are huge, especially if the controls are customizable.
