After making its own Pixel-branded smartphones for years, Google is now finally gearing up to launch its own smartwatch in the market, dubbed Pixel Watch. Ahead of the launch, many details about the upcoming device have surfaced online.
Now, it appears that more details about the Pixel Watch have been revealed, including the watchfaces through the Android Studio emulator image that Google published earlier this year for Wear OS 3.0.
Currently, the emulator in Android Studio is the only way to experience what the stock version of Wear OS 3 will be like on future watches. The 9to5Google team found a video within the emulator that shows a variety of watch faces that will be available on an upcoming Wear OS device.
About 10 different watchfaces have been revealed, including one that shows Fitbit logo. Two of these watchfaces were also seen on the renders of the Pixel Watch. This further indicates that the leaked watchfaces will make their way to the actual smartwatch and are not just for demo purposes.
Based on the previous leaks, the upcoming Pixel Watch will have a minimal bezel and a slight curve and feature a physical button. It is expected to come powered by a custom-made SoC that will be manufactured by Samsung using the 5nm process.
It will be running the latest Wear OS 3.0 as the operating system which is a merged version of the Wear OS based on Android and Samsung’s Tizen OS. The South Korean giant’s Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic were the first devices to run this new version of the wearable operating system.
