Tipster Evan Blass has hinted that the Google Pixel Watch that runs on Wear OS 3.1 could be launched soon. The smart wearable device has been a subject of speculation and uncertainty for quite some time and the tipster is further fueling this with the new lead.
Blass says that the Pixel Rohan’s launch is imminent, although there are no specific dates 2022 seems to be it. The codename Rohan has long been associated with the first-ever Google smartwatch. However, it does not necessarily imply that the device will bear the Rohan moniker when it is eventually released. Google could adopt a more catchy marketing name for a device primed to rival the big hitters in the field like Apple and Samsung.

The Pixel Watch will run on the latest version of the Wear OS, which is version 3.1. However, Wear OS 3.1 may just introduce a few improvements in capabilities and aesthetics above version 3.0. The new operating system should provide some head start for the rookie smartwatch, It remains to be seen the manner of improvements the Google Pixel Rohan will deliver above current leading models like the Apple Watch. There were rumored launch dates of May 11, July, and October 2022, adding to the uncertainty around the smartwatch. The May date coincides with the 2022 I/O Conference and could be a credible date for the launch.
While much of the information and specs of the Pixel smartwatch are speculative, the device may come with a circular design and offer high-end ECG monitoring. This will be in addition to the basic sensors that have propped smartwatches as important health and fitness devices. It is also rumored to offer up to 32GB of internal storage to bring it at par with the frontrunners in the market. The processor of the device is also expected to be high-end but no inkling yet on it. There are no indications also of the price of the new device.
