There had to be a catch with the watch. There are some high hopes for the device after the leaks we've provided about the device.
According to 9to5Google, the Pixel Watch won't be using a custom-designed chip or even the latest Exynos W920 processor. The source states that the Pixel Watch is powered by the same Exynos 9110 chip that was used in the originalGalaxy Watch.
Over the past few years, the 9110 processor has been included in some of the best watches on the market. This also includes theGalaxy Watch Active 2 and theGalaxy Watch 3, which were replaced by theGalaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic last year.
This report suggests that the reason for the decision from the search engine is because of how long the watch has been in development. When the 9110 was new, it is said that the project was unable to take advantage of these newer processors.

It is not clear which current Wear OS watches will support Wear OS 3. Shortly after the conclusion of the I/O 2021, Qualcomm confirmed that Wear OS 3 would be compatible with any smartwatch powered by the Snapdragon Wear 3100 and higher. The Wear OS will only be supported on devices powered by the latest version of the chip.
The first thought was that the idea of older chipsets being compatible with the new frameworks was being shut down. If the new report is true, it would be a problem for the company to use a chip that's even older than the current-generation Wearable System-on-a-Chip. After leaving third-party watchmakers out of the loop for the past year, still no mention of when we will get the update on current devices.
We still have at least a few months to go before we get a full announcement, but we were not immediately available to comment on the rumor. It might be difficult for the first smartwatch to stand above the next one if the older one is in charge.
