Google's next-generation smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 5, is increasingly likely to be unveiled on August 12th (local time), coinciding with the start of Pixel phone pre-orders. Leaked details suggest the 42mm model may replace the 41mm variant, with color options including dark onyx and black bands, natural silver and light gray bands, pyrite and olive bands, and warm gold and pink coral bands. A price increase is speculated, with the Wi-Fi-only 42mm model rumored to start at $399. Software and features remain uncertain, though Wear OS 7 and enhanced AI functionality for Pixel phone users are expected. However, the credibility of the leaked information remains unverified.
