Leaked renders show two sizes, four color combinations and Wi-Fi or LTE versions. Prices may rise by about $50.
The first high-quality Google Pixel Watch 5 renders have appeared online. The images were shared by OnLeaks together with The Tide Chart. Until now, leaks had mostly focused on the Pixel 11 series, while Google's new smartwatch had remained largely unseen.
According to the leak, Pixel Watch 5 will come in four case-and-band combinations: Dark Anthracite with a black band, Natural Silver with a pale gray band, Pyrite with an olive band, and Warm Gold with a coral band. Warm Gold has so far only been spotted in the smaller 41 mm size, while the other three colors are expected in both 41 mm and 45 mm versions.
Both sizes are reportedly planned in two configurations: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. The renders suggest Google will keep the familiar rounded Pixel Watch design, so the main changes may come from colors, bands, internal hardware and software features rather than the shape of the case.
Earlier leaks suggested Google could raise Pixel Watch 5 prices by about $50. The 41 mm Bluetooth/Wi-Fi model is expected to cost $399, while the 45 mm version without LTE may be priced at $429. Cellular models could reach $499 for 41 mm and $529 for 45 mm.
Google is expected to unveil Pixel Watch 5 alongside the Pixel 11 lineup at its event on August 12. If the prices are accurate, the new generation will be noticeably more expensive than its predecessors, possibly due to higher component costs, including memory.
