Google has been rumored to release the next-generation Pixel smartwatch alongside the Pixel 8 series smartphones. While the report didn’t reveal the name of the product, a leak has disclosed the official marketing name of the wearable, which is expected to be called the Pixel Watch 2.

Pixel Watch 2 naming

According to a tweet from reliable tipster Evan Blass, the upcoming Google smartwatch will be called Pixel Watch 2. This naming of the wearable goes in line with the Pixel smartphones, which are named by the year of their release, like the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7.

Other Google Hardware products naming

On the other hand, other Google hardware products, like the Nest lineup, use “Gen” in their names. Using the usual numbering format for the Pixel Watch 2 feels much better as it is simple and easy to understand for most people.

Details about the watch

Apart from the name, nothing else is known about this forthcoming watch. Google devices are known for their detailed leaks months ahead of their official announcement, so it is surprising that there is no more information available yet.

Pixel Watch 2 Design unveiling

Google has been officially teasing the design of its upcoming hardware products at the annual Google I/O developer conference for the last few years. Therefore, it is expected that the Pixel Watch 2 gets its design unveiled alongside the Pixel 8 series at the 2023 edition of Google I/O.

Pixel 8 series announcement and release

In addition to the Pixel Watch 2, Google is expected to announce the Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel 7a in the upcoming hours. These devices are anticipated to hit the shelves in the coming weeks.
