Google Pixel Watch 5 is back in the spotlight just days before Google’s expected hardware event on August 12. A fresh batch of leaked renders has given us one of the clearest looks yet at the upcoming smartwatch, confirming that Google isn’t planning a major redesign this year.
Instead, the company appears to be refining what already works. The latest leaks point to new colour options, two case sizes, possible hardware upgrades, and a slightly higher starting price.If these reports turn out to be accurate, the Pixel Watch 5 could be one of Google’s most polished smartwatches yet.
Google Pixel Watch 5 leaked renders show two sizes
Well-known tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared new promotional-looking images of the Pixel Watch 5 on X. The renders compare the 41mm and 45mm versions side by side, giving a better idea of how each model will look.
The smaller 41mm model appears in Dark Anthracite and Warm Gold, while the larger 45mm version is shown in Dark Anthracite, Natural Silver, and Pyrite. One of the images pairs the Pyrite model with an olive green strap, adding a fresh look to the lineup.Google seems to be using colour to separate this generation rather than changing the overall design.

Design stays almost identical to Pixel Watch 4
Anyone expecting a dramatic redesign may be disappointed.The leaked images suggest that the Google Pixel Watch 5 keeps the same circular domed display that has become Google’s signature. The rotating crown remains in the same position, and the side button layout also looks unchanged.
Google’s proprietary watch band attachment system is still there, which means existing Pixel Watch bands could continue to work with the new model. While Google hasn’t confirmed compatibility, the identical attachment mechanism strongly hints at it.
The rear of the smartwatch also looks familiar.Images show the same charging contacts used on previous Pixel Watches, suggesting Google will continue using its magnetic charging solution instead of switching to wireless charging.
New watch face includes a Gemini shortcut
One interesting detail appears on the leaked watch face itself.The promotional render shows an analogue-style clock with a wavy background pattern. More importantly, one of the complications appears to be a Gemini shortcut, hinting that Google’s AI assistant could play a bigger role in Wear OS this year.
Google hasn’t confirmed exactly how Gemini will work on the watch, but the shortcut suggests AI-powered features could be easier to access directly from the wrist.

Health sensors appear unchanged
The sensor arrangement on the back of the smartwatch looks almost identical to the Pixel Watch 4.That doesn’t necessarily mean there are no improvements. Google could still upgrade the internal sensor hardware or improve health tracking through software.At the moment, though, the leaked renders don’t reveal any obvious changes to heart rate monitoring or other health sensors.
Pixel Watch 5 appears inside Google Health apps.
The Google Pixel Watch 5 recently appeared in the list of supported devices within the Google Health app. Users reportedly found a dedicated setup page for the smartwatch before its official announcement.
Interestingly, the onboarding screens still display Pixel Watch 4 illustrations, which suggests Google hasn’t finished updating the software ahead of launch.Even so, the listing adds another piece of evidence that the smartwatch is very close to its official debut.

Expected features and connectivity
Previous reports suggest Google will sell the Pixel Watch 5 in both Wi-Fi and LTE variants, giving buyers the same connectivity choices as earlier generations.
FCC filings have also hinted at several upgrades, including:
- Satellite Emergency SOS support
- Ultra-Wideband (UWB) connectivity
- Wi-Fi 6 support on selected models
These additions could improve emergency communication, device tracking, and wireless performance.Rumours also point to increased internal storage or memory, although Google hasn’t confirmed those details yet.
Expected Google Pixel Watch 5 price
Pricing appears to be increasing this year.According to previous reports, the 41mm Wi-Fi version of the Pixel Watch 5 could start at $399, which converts to roughly Rs. 38,400 before taxes and import costs.
LTE variants and the larger 45mm model are expected to cost more, although exact pricing hasn’t leaked yet.If accurate, this would make the Pixel Watch 5 slightly more expensive than its predecessor.
Google Pixel Watch 5 launch date
Google is expected to announce the Pixel Watch 5 during its Made by Google event on August 12.The smartwatch is likely to launch alongside the Pixel 11 smartphone series, giving Google a complete hardware lineup for the second half of the year.As with any leak, it’s worth waiting for Google’s official presentation before treating every detail as final. Still, the growing number of leaks from multiple sources paints a fairly consistent picture.
