It is no longer necessary to fight with leaks or rumors that predict the design of the future Pixel Watch, it is Google itself that is in charge of anticipating the device. Round dial, with pronounced and very soft curvesexquisite design and unique software features: Google will benefit from buying Fitbit with its Pixel Watch.
The panorama of smartwatches or smartwatches is so full of brands and models that it is very difficult to choose one if you do not have a preferred manufacturer. Amazfit has a very varied catalog and competes with Xiaomi in the range of the most accessible. Huawei and its GT offer quality and superb design. The same as Samsung and its Galaxy Watch: the brand is currently leading the Wear OS segment (with Mobvoi and its TicWatch on the podium). With so much competition, Google has failed us.
The best design in a Wear OS
Google opted for simplicity and curved lines to create a watch that sees its pronounced sphere up to almost the back side. The cascading edge glass that surrounds the entire display helps with this, arguably the most striking thing about the Google Pixel Watch.
The future watch has a round screen, surely OLED, without its diagonal being known yet (it is rumored that it will reach 1.4 inches with a resolution of 450 x 450 pixels). For control, besides the touch functionality implicit in a smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch includes two buttons on the right side: one normal and one crowned; which will scroll through the menus.
The Google Pixel Watch will have a Exclusive double cross grip strap system. Different colors for the straps and the silicone construction, at least in appearance. We don’t know if Google will provide options for more materials for these straps, such as leather. Something logical if you want to elevate the smartwatch category.
In terms of software, and specifying that it will come with Wear OS as its base operating system (hopefully Wear OS 3.1), Google will include Fitbit Health among the available apps. With this platform, the user can take control of their health and exercise; in addition to having premium options under subscription, such as a personal trainer.
We do not know the SoC chosen by Google, although rumors indicate that it will be an Exynos 9110, a processor with four years on the market and which was released with the Samsung Galaxy Watch of 2018. Most hardware still to be confirmedwe’ll see if Google manages to establish itself as an alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Apple Watch Series 8.
