New images of the Pixel Watch 5 provide a comprehensive first look at Google’s upcoming smartwatch. The leaked photos show the device from various angles and offer insights into design, color options, and possible technical features. Additionally, a report provides initial information on the equipment and expected prices of the new watch.
Leak shows the front for the first time
The high-resolution images come from the tech portal “The Tide Chart.” According to their own statements, the website received the material before the official announcement of the Pixel Watch 5. Just a few weeks ago, however, an unusual sighting of the smartwatch caused a stir: A diver reportedly found a device labeled “Pixel Watch 5” on the seabed near the Caribbean island of St. Martin. While the images known so far only showed the back of the watch, the complete smartwatch is now visible for the first time.

According to the images, Google continues to rely on the familiar round case with a domed cover glass. The side charging contacts also appear to remain. Furthermore, the leak suggests that the special strap mount remains unchanged. This means existing straps and possibly even the charger from the Pixel Watch 4 could still be used.
Color options for both sizes
The press images show the Pixel Watch 5 in two sizes with case diameters of 41 and 45 millimeters. According to the leak, three versions are planned for the larger model: an anthracite case with a black band, a silver version with a light gray band, and a brass-colored case with an olive band.
The smaller version is also expected to be available in these three combinations. Additionally, a further version is planned for the 41-millimeter model, combining a gold-colored case with a coral band. This would keep the number of variants unchanged compared to the Pixel Watch 4. The current model is also available in three color combinations at 45 millimeters and four versions at 41 millimeters.

The report also mentions further technical details about the smartwatch. Accordingly, all color variants are to be offered as both Wi-Fi and LTE models. Documents from the U.S. regulatory authority FCC also list Wi-Fi 6 and ultra-wideband radio.
Previously discovered devices already hinted at sensors for blood oxygen, skin temperature, and heart rate. Additionally, the protection standard IP68 was mentioned. For the LTE versions, support for satellite emergency calls is again expected. There is also talk of larger batteries, a new Tensor chip, and Wear OS 7.

Prices could rise
In addition to the equipment, the report also mentions possible sales prices. The Pixel Watch 5 with 41 millimeters and Wi-Fi is expected to start at $399. That would be $50 more than the current model.
Prices of up to $529 are mentioned for the most expensive version. Official information is likely to follow at the next “Made by Google” event. Google has announced the event for August 12, 2026, in New York.
