Google is late on the clock. Apple Watch has already entered the seventh generation. Direct competitor Samsung established itself in the market with the current generation Galaxy Watch 4 and closely linked these devices to the smartphone segment. On the other hand, anyone looking for a smartwatch on Google's online store has so far only come across Fitbit products. The American company has been owned by the online giant since 2021. However, plastic watches, which clearly focus on the idea of fitness, do not want to be the flagship of this increasingly important product category. Now comes the Google Pixel Watch. Let's see!
This is the first smartwatch that is Google designed entirely by himself, as the group pointed out. But since Fitbit has been part of the company for a while, it remains to be seen how much the engineers have used existing Fitbit watches for internal operations.
In any case, from a design perspective, the new Google Pixel Watch positions itself as a lifestyle product that doesn't just look good for running or strength training. Google relies on a minimalist look with a round and curved watch face. The smartwatch has a crown and is made of recycled stainless steel, according to the manufacturer. A model with a replaceable plastic strap in a soft green shade was shown at the presentation. "With the Google Pixel Watch, you get Google's new Wear OS and Fitbit's leading health and fitness tools," said Rick Osterloh, head of device development. The Google Pixel Watch is coming out this fall. The price is not yet known.

New Pixel 7 smartphones are also coming in the fall. They are powered by Google Tensor, Google's first processor. It is also the latter in an Android tablet that is expected to hit the market by 2023.
