That model was announced last August, and it's very likely a sequel is on the horizon. Here's everything we know so far, including the most recent leaks. </p><h2 id="when-is-the-google-pixel-watch-5-coming-out">When is the Google Pixel Watch 5 coming out?</h2><p><strong>August 12</strong>.<strong> </strong>Last year's 'Made by Google' event took place on August 20, and Google looks set to stick to that annual timeframe. </p><p>Google has officially confirmed that pre-orders will open for new <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/best-pixel-phones">Google Pixel phones </a>on August 12, and it makes sense to assume that the Google Pixel Watch 5 will be released alongside its companion Pixel devices.</p><h2 id="what-will-the-google-pixel-watch-5-look-like">What will the Google Pixel Watch 5 look like?</h2><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1688px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.22%;"><img id="G7VWJckj6jmQvDGrQPR82C" name="thetidechart.com-google-pixel-watch-5-hero (1)" alt="Leaked Pixel Watch 5 render" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/G7VWJckj6jmQvDGrQPR82C.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1688" height="949" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: The TideChart)</span></figcaption></figure><p>It'll be very similar to the Google Pixel Watch 4. We actually have what's purported to be leaked renders of the device, coming from noted leaker <a href="https://x.com/OnLeaks">OnLeaks</a> via <a href="https://www.thetidechart.com/" target="_blank">The Tide Chart</a>, a website with a single post to its name (so treat this rumor as unverified). </p><p>Despite this solitary post and lack of credible history, The Tide Chart (TTC) did correctly call the August 12 event date before Google announced it, so there is a claim of legitimacy there. The renders look extremely similar to the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/health-fitness/smartwatches/google-pixel-watch-4-review">Google Pixel Watch 4</a>, with the now-classic teardrop shape in its new-last-year dome, in four new colors and two sizes.</p><p>Those colors are Dark Anthracite (above) with a black band, Natural Silver with a pale gray band, Pyrite with an olive band, and Warm Gold with a pink coral band. The larger size reportedly remains the same at 45mm, but the smaller size is now 42mm instead of 41mm. </p><h2 id="will-the-price-remain-the-same">Will the price remain the same?</h2><p>Not according to TTC. The blog says the watch's list price will start at $399 (around £295 / AU$570) for the Wi-Fi-only 42mm version, a $50 increase over the smallest Wi-Fi-only Pixel Watch 4 in the US. </p><p>The price will go up with each model, and the LTE-enabled 45mm Pixel Watch 5 is said to cost a hefty $529 (around £395 / AU$755). </p><p>The equivalent Pixel Watch 4 costs $499, a $30 increase over the model in the US. We don't yet know the equivalent prices for the Pixel Watch 5 in the UK or Australia. </p><h2 id="any-new-features">Any new features?</h2><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="mYnAyzCNc3m3HYfMRp5jpU" name="GooglepPixelWatch4" alt="Two hands repairing a Google Pixel Watch 4" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mYnAyzCNc3m3HYfMRp5jpU.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Google)</span></figcaption></figure><p>This we're not yet sure about. We can expect Wear OS 7 to include yet more AI capabilities, especially for Pixel phone users, similar to the way watchOS 27 uses Siri AI to work across multiple devices. </p><p>Repairability — a standout feature for the Pixel Watch 4, allowing users to take apart the smartwatch and replace the display and battery — and limited satellite connectivity to send SOS messages without signal are both expected to make a welcome return. </p><p>A bizarre story earlier this year had a reported prototype of the<a href="https://www.techradar.com/health-fitness/smartwatches/the-google-pixel-watch-5-has-reportedly-leaked-in-a-bizarre-scuba-diving-discovery-but-the-incident-is-more-than-a-bit-fishy"> Google Pixel Watch 5 discovered on the ocean floor</a>, near the island of St Martin. It's said to have had labels including ‘SpO2’ (Blood Oxygen Level), ‘EDA’ (Electrodermal Activity), ‘Skin Temperature’, ‘Heart Rate Sensor’, ‘Pulse Sensor’, and ‘UWB’ (Ultra-Wideband) — all features present in earlier iterations of the watch.</p><p>We can expect Google's new AI Health Coach and the revamped Google Health app to play a role. These debuted earlier this year in tandem with the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/health-fitness/fitness-trackers/google-fitbit-air-review">Google Fitbit Air</a>.</p> </article> ]]>
