Google Pixel Watch is coming soon!

In a tweet on May 10, leaker Evan Blass reported that Google would hold a special hardware event that will include the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphone announcements. Additionally, Blass heard the news from what he called “a reliable source,” said Google will also showcase a second-generation pair of Pixel Buds earbuds; along with a new Pixel smart wear. This will be the first time Google ever releases a smartwatch if the news is believable.

By offering a smartwatch in addition to new earbuds and new Pixel handsets, Google is more firmly committing to competing against Apple. It also gives the company more authority over the overall experience and lets it showcase what its operating systems can do. Blass’ source didn’t say what the Pixel watch might look like or how it might work. But Google has recently revealed more information about its Wear OS (Android Wear).

All Wear OS devices will gain new Google Assistant features, including an always-on microphone, text-to-speech conversion when wearing a headset and suggested actions. On a side note, wearable device market is booming, and it will be worth $73 billion by 2022. According to a research, more than 155 million units of smart/basic wearables are forecast to be shipped worldwide by 2019. In 2017, the wearable device market was worth $19 billion and increased to $26 billion by 2018. Smartwatches account for 52% of wearable unit sales worldwide. Currently, the share is 41 percent.
