So it looks like the long awaited launch of a Google Pixel watch me finally happened in 2022:

Initial renders look good. I don't have a smart watch but may look at this if it launches.

Hopefully it has good software and battery life.

Launch date of May 26th being touted now .. be good to see Google's contribution to the Smart watch area.

Hopefully it has a better launch than the pixel 6.

This looks suspiciously like the galaxy watch active. although it is a watch and I suppose not much you can do with watch design. and will it actually launch on the date ?. The industry doubts it will.

Not a bloody chance I'm going anywhere near that thing. After the issues of my pixel I'm done with Google hardware

More info showing a May Launch (Google I/O) as the Pixel Watch is loaded to carrier inventory systems:

After the potentially damaging release of the Pixel 6 phone. does anyone think this watch will even sell many units ?. unless its free ofc with an up-and-coming phone.

Loads of iPhone 4 were sold (50+ million) even after antenna-gate and the failed attempts to fix it.

Plenty more choices of Android handset though whereas if you want iOS it's your only choice.

Fair point... It would be interesting to find out the percentage of people that have had proper issues with the P6 against those that don't as the negative experiences are always far more vocal than positive experiences.

I've had a fantastic time with mine for example.

Anyways, it will be good to see the Pixel Watch regardless

In the same boat. Whilst I think we all suffered with the network issues at the end of last year, other than that the phone has been rock solid.
