New photos present the leaked Pixel Watch on a wrist

We’re now getting a take a look at what the leaked Pixel Watch seems to be like strapped to someone’s wrist, courtesy of Reddit consumer tagtech414, who’s beforehand shared alleged photos of Google’s as-yet-unannounced wearable (via 9to5Google). In the earlier photos, we may solely see the little laptop puck itself, not connected to a strap. While tagtech414 doesn’t appear to have efficiently booted the gadget but, they’ve given us a greater thought of what it could be like to really put on it.

According to tagtech’s Reddit post, the strap is “kind of a pain to attach the first time,” however the connection feels strong when it is on there. Based on the photographs and tagtech’s description of a strap that’s “a soft silicone with good flex and doesn’t seem to show fingerprints/oil too badly,” it sounds just like an Apple Watch sport band, besides barely narrower. The Redditor says Google’s band is 20mm huge, in comparison with at the least 22mm for Apple’s model. Looks-wise, it’s virtually an identical to the strap on a Fitbit Charge 5 (which it additionally shares a sensor format with), besides that it has a metallic nubbin as an alternative of a plastic one, and there’s no embossed Fitbit emblem.

Tagtech additionally raves about how snug the watch is, saying that it “feels like it’s not even there” and declaring that the “crown does NOT poke into the back of my hand when bending my wrist back or typing.”

If you need to see extra photos, they’ve posted an entire Imgur gallery displaying the watch and strap at numerous angles.

While it appears very doable that it is a legit Pixel Watch (it’s the spitting picture of earlier leaks and renders), tagtech414’s story of how they got here by it’s nonetheless fairly weird. The Redditor claims {that a} buddy discovered the gadget at a bar and gave it to them. The motive there weren’t photos of the watch being worn initially? The strap and watch have been “packaged separately,” and the buddy “forgot to bring them over,” tagtech414 claimed in an AMA.
