Google just released a new teaser for the upcoming Pixel Watch 5. The promo takes a direct jab at competitors like Apple and Samsung, highlighting that the new device has the decency to look like a traditional watch. While the Apple Watch maintains a rectangular shape and the Galaxy Watch has moved to a squircle design, Google is betting on the classic circular aesthetic to set its hardware apart in a crowded market.
Beyond the design language, the teaser emphasizes the practical side of the wearable. It confirms that the device tracks health, sleep, and fitness metrics as expected. The hardware appears to retain the familiar look of previous models, including visible charging pins on the casing.
Most importantly, the final frame of the video confirms the integration of Gemini Intelligence into the new watch. With leaks already pointing to an accelerated chip, a second generation active band, and a higher starting price of 399 dollars, Google is positioning this release as a major upgrade for its ecosystem users.
We expect to learn more about the specific capabilities of the Gemini integration when the product officially launches next week. The industry is watching to see if these hardware updates and AI features are enough to compete with established rivals.
