Pixel Watch looks slim and sleek in recent unboxing leak

The new Google Pixel Watch will be quite the svelte little smartwatch, if a leak on Reddit (opens in new tab) proves accurate. Our friends at PhoneArena (opens in new tab) noticed a leaker had opened up a demo unit of the new Pixel Watch and had taken plenty of photos from every angle showing the glossy black disk, the band, and the charger that will come in the box. 

Google showed us photos of the Pixel Watch at its Google I/O event last spring, but details and images of the new smartwatch have been scant ever since. This new leak shows us the device from all sides, giving us an idea of how thin it will be and how the top will be curved. The Pixel Watch looks much more rounded than, for instance, the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. 

The leaked watch comes in a polished stainless steel case with a charcoal active-style band. We’re expecting to see a black case option, as well as a possible gold color. For bands, we’re expecting a wide variety in rubbery active styles and more fashionable leather.

The leak also gives us a good look at the Pixel Watch packaging, which provides few new details. The watch will run Google’s Wear OS 3.5, the same as Samsung’s watch, which makes sense as Samsung and Google co-developed Wear OS.

We also get a view of the sensor array on the back of the Pixel Watch, though we don’t have precise details on what sensors Google will include. We are expecting the standard heart rate, blood oxygen levels, body composition, and ECG capabilities.
