Google Pixel Watch possible launch date has been tipped, despite the lack of any official confirmation from the search engine giant. If rumors making the rounds online are anything to go by, Google is hard at works on a Pixel smartwatch. Furthermore, past leaks claim that the premium wearable was originally set to launch in the US alongside the Pixel 6 smartphone. Regrettably, this speculation didn’t come to fruition. However, the rumor mill continues to churn out speculations surrounding the Pixel Watch launch date, which will reportedly be announced in 2022.
As mentioned, Google has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors. In fact, the tech behemoth is still mum on its plan to even launch a Pixel smartwatch. Nevertheless, the purported Pixel Watch has been subject to multiple leaks lately. To recall, some official-looking Pixel Watch renders showcasing a bezel-less design were spotted online last month. Now, a new leak has shed more light on the Pixel Watch unofficial launch date. So, let’s check out the much-awaited Pixel Watch leaked specifications and launch date.
Pixel Watch Launch Date
The Google Pixel Watch could launch in H1 of 2022. Noted leaker Jon Prosser further narrows the launch timeline, claiming the Pixel Watch launch date is set for May 26. However, the leaker points out that Google has a reputation for postponing release dates of its products. In other words, the Pixel Watch launch date could heavily rely on the developments. According to a report from NotebookCheck, the launch timeline could be set anywhere between now, and the end of spring. To recall, I/O conferences have been hosted in May since 2015.
