Pixel Watch 5 leak shows four colors and a $399 start

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 5 on August 12, and a new leak points to four color options, two case sizes, and a higher starting price.

The renders come from OnLeaks via The Tide Chart, a tech blog that currently has just one post. That makes these images unofficial for now, though Engadget notes that OnLeaks has a long track record with product renders.

According to The Tide Chart, Google will offer the Pixel Watch 5 in all four finishes across the lineup, with both 41mm and 45mm sizes appearing in the leak. The design looks very close to the Pixel Watch 4, keeping Google’s familiar round face and domed display. If that holds, existing bands should likely remain compatible.

The reported finishes are:

• Dark Anthracite with a black band
• Natural Silver with a pale gray band
• Pyrite with an olive band
• Warm Gold with a coral band

The Warm Gold version is only shown with the smaller 41mm model in the leaked materials, though that does not necessarily rule it out for the 45mm version. Buyers are also expected to get the usual choice of Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + LTE.

On pricing, The Tide Chart says the 41mm Wi-Fi model will start at $399. That would be a $50 increase over the directly comparable Pixel Watch 4. At the top end, the launch lineup is said to reach $529 for the largest and best-connected option.

Google has not yet detailed hardware changes such as the chipset or battery life, but the watch is expected to ship with Wear OS 7 when it arrives sometime in August.
