Someone needs to remind employees to check their pockets. There are new leaked images and information that show what appears to be an early version of thePixel Watch, which is yet to be released. The watch was left at a U.S. restaurant. The images show a device with a circular watch face and two buttons. There is a small hole between the crown and one of the buttons. The bottom of the device appears to have more sensors. The device looks metallic but feels like glass, according to the leaker. The device is about the same size as aGalaxy Watch 46mm, and is about 1.5 inches in diameter, according to a leaker who goes by the handle tagtech414. An image was posted by Tagtech414 in an effort to confirm his identity as the person who shared the images. The device didn't feel cheap even though there was no way to know an actual price point. The device was said to have an Apple Watch style premium feel to it. The blue watch strap is reminiscent of the Apple Watch's athletics straps. The leaked images match the previously leaked images.
There will be no more details on the software side of things. The supposed leaker claims that he tried to turn on the device but couldn't get past the gray icon. The purported device may not have an operating system on it. The device could be charged within its case like an Apple Watch, if the device was left with a charger.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time a Big Tech employee has abandoned a key piece of prototype hardware. In 2010, Gizmodo discovered a then-unreleased iPhone 4 in a bar. There is a chance that the device was intended to be a type of marketing stunt.
The supposed leaker gave more information on how he got the device on his post. tagtech414 said in his post that the device was first discovered by his friend who works as a bartender. The restaurant held on to the device for several weeks, expecting the owner to return, but they never did. The device's strap was packaged separately from the device itself. He tried to assure readers that he was not an undercover employee of the internet giant.
