Newly leaked marketing materials for Google's upcoming Pixel Watch 5 have surfaced. These materials provide detailed insights into pricing, technical specifications, and expected features. The official announcement is scheduled for August 12. The leaks suggest the smartwatch will debut alongside the Pixel 11 lineup. Pre-orders are likely to open the same day as the event. Shipping is scheduled for around August 20.
Double the storage, but same battery life claims
The Pixel Watch 5 includes several improvements over its predecessor. Most notably, internal storage doubles to 64GB. The previous model had 32GB. The new model will ship with Wear OS 7 preloaded. Battery capacity increases slightly. For the 41mm model, it's 7mAh. For the 45mm version, it's 10mAh. Google maintains the same battery life claims as before. The 41mm version has 30 hours. The 45mm version has 40 hours.
What users need to know before buying
Consumers should be aware that the Pixel Watch 5 will not include a charging brick in the box. This is a cost-saving measure the company has used in recent releases. Those opting for LTE models will face a higher price tag. The added cellular functionality contributes to the cost. All versions of the watch will support features such as GPS, heart rate tracking, and ECG monitoring. The new Gemini Intelligence assistant will be included. It is designed to anticipate user needs and provide timely information.
Additionally, the Pixel Watch 5 will offer Satellite SOS for two years at no extra cost after activation, along with built-in tools like an altimeter, barometer, and compass. The device will also feature more accurate sleep tracking than any previous version. For those interested, pre-orders will start on August 12, with delivery expected around August 20.
The watch will be available in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm. Both models will offer Wi-Fi and LTE options. The 41mm model weighs 31g, while the 45mm model is slightly heavier at 36.7g. Both have a thickness of 12.3mm. The device will also be IP68 rated for water and dust resistance and 5ATM rated for underwater activities. It will also support advanced biometric monitoring, including heart rate, SpO2, skin conductance, and skin temperature, along with Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, NFC, and UWB technology.
The latest leaked marketing materials also reveal the Pixel Watch 5 will feature heart-health tracking, including irregular-rhythm notifications and heart rate variability tracking. Additional health features include blood oxygen level measurements and cardio tracking. The watch will also support the Fitbit Personal Health Coach and the “Ask Coach” feature released by Google last year. The new leak also confirms the integration of “Ask Gemini,” a feature that enables user interaction with the Gemini Intelligence assistant.
Google has also shared leaked images of the watch bands, which hint at silicone and woven bands in multiple colors. The official announcement of the Pixel Watch 5 is scheduled for August 12, which means confirmed details about the smartwatch will soon be available.
