I don't remember how many times I wrote the phrase " Google is preparing to enter the smartwatch market”, but this never happened. The thing is, the Google Pixel Watch has been rumored since 2018, but it has always turned to ashes. Now it seems that the search giant is finally ready after many tries and developments. The latest development indicates that the Google Pixel Watch will finally debut on May 26th.
The latest report comes from a very reliable informant, John Prosser. He states that this is the first time we have an exact date to look at. That's true, however, back in 2021, we heard rumors suggesting a device launch alongside the Google Pixel 6 series. Eventually, both devices were launched, but without smartwatches. Apparently, Google was indeed going to release a wearable device back in October, but was forced to delay it until the next round. The whistleblower claims delays are common with Google products.
Google is known for product delays, the Pixel Fold is another example
Tipster is right, if you remember, last year was also flooded with rumors pointing to the launch of the company's first foldable phone. There were rumors that the tentatively named Pixel Fold would come with the Pixel 6, but that didn't happen. Then rumors spread about a launch earlier this year. So far, there is no evidence of a Pixel Fold launch. We know that Google is working on a foldable smartphone and the company is also preparing Android for it with Android 12L. However, the product seems to suffer the same fate as many Google products - numerous delays.

Back last year, Google worked with Samsung to improve WearOS. The new version of the wearable operating system is said to be more optimized and functional. Even Samsung decided to switch to Google's offering after working with the search giant for several months. The new WearOS also sounds like a good opportunity for Google to finally make the leap into wearables. Let's see how the situation develops.
With a May launch date in mind, Google may be preparing the Pixel Watch to launch alongside the rumored Pixel 6a. We expect more leaks until then.
