Google Pixel Watch 5 pops up in an official Google app ahead of expected launch
Google will unveil the Pixel 11 series smartphones on August 12, and the company is expected to introduce the Pixel Watch 5 alongside them. We haven't heard anything about the Pixel Watch 5 from Google yet, but the smartwatch has popped up in an official Google app, which should serve as another indicator that Google will unveil it on August 12.
The Pixel Watch 5 has appeared in the Google Health app as one of the wearables a user can connect the device to. It's right at the top of the list, and selecting it opens a dedicated setup page, followed by a screen that asks whether users want to connect the Watch 5 to Google Health.

The screenshots of the Google Health app below don't reveal anything new, as even the placeholder image Google has used for the Pixel Watch 5 is the same as that for the Pixel Watch 4. Now we aren't saying the two smartwatches look entirely different, as the Pixel Watch 5's leaked renders revealed it looks almost identical to the Pixel Watch 4.

Furthermore, a Google Play Console listing revealed that the Pixel Watch 5, codenamed "godric," uses the same base chip as the Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4 but has more RAM onboard (3GB vs. 2GB).
The Google Pixel Watch 5's 41mm Wi-Fi model is rumored to cost €419, while the LTE model is rumored to cost €519. The 45mm Wi-Fi and LTE versions are said to cost €449 and €549, respectively.

When you invest in a pixel watch you don't own a watch, you purchased the experience. Think of it as "wrist watch as a service".. You're like Neo asking dangerous questions..
