Leaked photographs of Google's new Pixel Watch have surfaced online ahead of the company's Made By Google launch event on Oct. 6, Thursday, in New York City.

During the Google I/O conference in May, the tech giant initially provided a sneak peek of its upcoming wearable smartwatch.

What To Expect

The Pixel Watch is the first smartwatch to come straight from Google. It is the manufacturer's response to the Apple Watch, which has been the dominant player in the market for smartwatches.

"The Google Pixel Watch is the first smartwatch designed and built by us - and the first time we're bringing together Google's helpfulness and Fitbit's health and fitness expertise," stated a blog article on Google's website.

WearOS is the operating system that powers the Pixel Watch, claiming it can work with all Pixel and Android phones, as well as Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Buds A-Series wireless earbuds.

Leaked Photos: Pixel Watch vs. Apple Watch

The design has already been disclosed beyond what Google released throughout the summer, but fresh photographs posted on Twitter offer a deeper look at the user interface of the device and its other functions. These pictures are allegedly marketing material for the new product.

In the leaked images, the watch will be available in four colors. Based on its construction, there is a circular charger located on the rear of the device. Thus, it will most likely charge the same way as how an Apple Watch charges.

In contrast to Apple's model, the Pixel features a circular shape and display that is surrounded by a bezel around the edges. The usable display area might seem more minor than it appears.

The photos also show that the Pixel Watch can make phone calls, measure heart rate and steps, display custom watch faces with complications from applications, and do various other activities, similar to what the Apple Watch can do.

Rumored Price

No information about the Pixel Watch's exact price yet, as it will be announced during Google's launch.

However, reports suggest that it will be priced at $349 for the Wifi-only version and $399 for one with cellular connectivity.

If that pricing is correct, then the Pixel Watch would compete directly with the Apple Watch Series 8, which has a starting price of $399.

Made By Google Event Launch

Aside from the Pixie Watch, the live event in New York will also introduce the tech giant's new mobile phones - Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Announcing new additions to the Nest smart home lineup is also on the agenda.

All new products to be launched will be available for purchase on the same day through GoogleStore.com and at Google's physical stores in New York.
