Pixel Watch 5 leaks in official-looking images with same charging system

New leaks regarding the Google Pixel Watch 5 confirm a familiar path for the company. Recent images circulating from credible sources show that the external design of the upcoming wearable remains identical to its predecessor. Both the 41mm and 45mm models retain the same aesthetic, with no changes made to the case shape, button layout, or the rotating crown.

The hardware details under the surface also appear to be staying put. Images highlighting the left edge of the device confirm that Google is continuing with the contact pin charging system introduced on the previous model. This suggests the company is satisfied with the current charging hardware and is prioritizing continuity for its user base.

Inside the sensor array on the back dome, the layout remains unchanged as well. While the watch faces shown in these images feature a Gemini icon and specific app complications, these represent software updates rather than physical hardware shifts. The bezels and the domed cover glass also look consistent with earlier versions of the product.

By sticking to this design, Google indicates a long-term commitment to the existing look and feel of the watch. Those who are already familiar with the current iteration will find the new hardware very similar in daily use. We expect to see this watch continue to lean into integration with broader app automation features as it hits the market later this year.
