TL;DR
- Google has released a new teaser ahead of its Pixel launch event.
- The teaser features the Pixel Watch 5, while reiterating the launch date.
- Google says its smartwatch “still has the decency to look like a watch.”
Day by day, we’re getting closer to next week’s Made by Google event. This showcase will feature the company’s latest smartphones, as well as its next-generation smartwatch. To help hype you up for the launch, Google has released a brand new teaser video.
After Google pushed out teasers for the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, it’s now the Pixel Watch 5’s turn. Just like in earlier teasers, this video offers the shadowy outline of the new device. It also ends in a similar fashion, by reiterating the launch date, which is August 12.
Google does use the little time it has in this video to take a dig at other smartwatches. After listing off a few of the things the Pixel Watch 5 can do, the narrator adds that Google’s smartwatch “still has the decency to look like a watch.” This could be seen as a jab against the bulky designs of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Ultra 3.
According to the countdown clocks spotted on the Google Store and Best Buy, you’ll be able to pre-order the latest Pixel devices before the show. The event is scheduled to start at 6:00 PM ET on August 12. These clocks will finish their countdown by 10:00 AM ET that day.
