It's official: The Pixel Watch is finally coming

The day is almost here. After more than six years of rumors and leaks, you will be able to purchase the Google Pixel Watch for yourself.

Unlike the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, the Pixel Watch won't be available until later this year. Some of the expected features, along with a glimpse at the hardware, were given to us.

Live images of a prototype of the Pixel Watch were reported by Android Central. As it turns out, those were pictures of the real deal, as the Pixel Watch sports a circular and domed look. On the right side of the frame, we have a rotating crown and a slim button.

The case will be made out of steel and water resistant up to 50 meters. When it comes to the health and fitness tracking sensors that will be onboard, there wasn't a lot of information. We know that there will be continuous heart rate and sleep tracking, to go along with some type of Fitbit integration.

Looking at the images provided, it seems that the same health tracking sensors that can be found in the likes of the best Fitbit Wearables might be implemented by Google. There is a new Fitbit complication on one of the watch faces, suggesting that Google is finally going to integrate the device into Wear OS.

Thanks to the built-in NFC chip, you will be able to pay for things on the go with the new-and-improved Google Wallet. The ability to control your smart home devices with the built-in Google Home app will also be on board. You will be able to download and install your favorite Play Store apps from your wrist.

In order to turn this into a competitor to the Apple Watch and theGalaxy Watch 4, a 4GLTE option will be offered. We will have to wait until the final reveal later this year to learn its pricing, as that leads us to one of the biggest remaining question marks. We expect the final price to reflect that, because it is safe to assume that Google is ready to compete against Apple and SAMSUNG in the Wearable space.

The battery life is one of the big question marks remaining. We may learn more over the next few months, but we will likely be waiting for the final reveal later this year.

Those hoping for another Wear OS 3 watch will have to wait a bit longer. We're still hoping to see the latest version of the Wearable platform from Google in other makers, but there hasn't been an update on that front.
