Apple and Samsung have annual releases for their smartwatches, while Google’s Fitbit line tends to be updated on a two-year cycle. According to an industry source, Google will be doing an annual release cycle on the Pixel Watch. We can expect a new Pixel Watch, likely called Pixel Watch 2 alongside Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro later this year.
If the track record is anything to go by, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are expected to release in October, when the online giant has historically unveiled its flagships. The one exception is the Pixel 5, which launched in September.
We don’t have any details yet regarding the Pixel Watch 2. However, some speculation includes that the overall dome design is unlikely to change drastically, but instead be refined, potentially and hopefully with a larger display and smaller bezels. Perhaps a similar design would also mean that the band’s fastening mechanism will remain the same, allowing users to carry on their current Pixel Watch bands. In terms of the internals, we could see the Snapdragon W5+ make an appearance with its 4nm manufacturing process, hopefully allowing the next Pixel Watch to last longer on a single charge. We’d also like to see different sizes for the watch, but there’s no indication as of yet.
Google has an upcoming Google I/O event set for May 10, where the Google Pixel 7a and Pixel Fold are likely to make their debuts. Google may also offer some teasers and extra information about other devices like Pixel Watch 2, so there is. We hope to learn more as we get closer to the supposed October release date.
