There seemed to be quite a consensus that Google’s first smartwatch would be called the Pixel Watch , and now it’s all but confirmed that the tech giant has trademarked the Pixel Watch brand to name its most anticipated product of 2022.
Google registered the trademark just a few days ago, on April 19. While there’s not much to scratch from a simple trademark filing, the tech giant has also registered under that name a number of accessories such as watch straps made of metal, leather, plastic, silicone or rubber, which could mean that, in addition to In addition to its long-awaited smartwatch, Google will launch a full range of watch straps, cases and other related accessories.
A highly anticipated device
There are still several regulatory and legal steps to be taken before the watch can be launched on the market, as Google itself has already warned. Given that timeline, it’s unlikely we’ll see the Pixel Watch debut before this fall, though May 11 could be the date Google unveils the software that’s built into the device.
The Pixel Watch may launch in spring or fall
Google could launch the Pixel Watch either late this spring or early fall. This debut, however, is subject to change depending on how internal testing goes. In the most prominent Internet technology forums, many assure that Google will test the Pixel Watch in May at the Google I/O event before formally launching the device in October, but what is known so far is that the multinational has not given a specific date. So it’s all speculation.
Google I/O is considered the biggest Google event of the year. The company often uses this conference to announce new products and software updates, though it often reserves hardware like Pixel phones, Pixel Buds and new Nest products for the fall.
There may be three different versions.
Variety seems to be important for Google, considering the company could release its Pixel Watch in three different versions . But those suspicions were already born in 2018, so it is not at all clear if those details are still accurate. We also don’t know what the difference between those three models will be. It’s possible that the watch comes in three different sizes, for example, or that Google is launching a specific model with mobile connectivity.
One way Google’s Pixel Watch models might differ is in colors as well. The Pixel Watch is said to be coming in black, gold, and gray versions with 32GB of storage. Like the Apple Watch, many on the internet point out that the Google Smartwatch’s battery will last about a day, so the watch may need to be charged daily. However, there’s always a chance that Google could improve this before the watch is released.
