Today began one of the most important technology events of the year, the Google I/O in its 2022 edition. Although it is an event aimed at developers, many technology enthusiasts follow because Google usually takes the opportunity to make product announcements, both software (such as Google Maps’ awesome new graphics) and hardware. And today is no exception.
After long seeing rumors and even prototype leaks, the Mountain View company today announced its first smartwatch, the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, as well as the Pixel 6a. Pixel Watch.

That Google has entered a new industry is news in itself, but that it’s doing so after redesigning Wear OS at the hands of Samsung indicates that it’s going to take it more seriously than many thought.

Perhaps the most important thing about this watch is not on the outside, but on the inside. Google is using Wear OS 3 there, the latest version of its smartwatch operating system, which we’ve only been able to see on Samsung’s next-gen watches so far.

Yes, it has confirmed a very strong integration with Fitbit, at the level of health data, and with Google Assistant and Home to control both our home and the doubts we have from the clock.
The design is the one that had leaked, with exclusive interchangeable bracelets and a circular crown with a sphere also with organic shapes.
Google Maps and Pixel Watch
The Google hardware manager bragged about the smoothness of the system, the integration with Google Maps even without carrying the phone, and the use of Google Wallet from the watch. Of course, the company’s commitment to watches is strong.
