– Pixel Watch 5 appears in BIS certification with four model numbers, likely representing 41mm/45mm sizes and Wi-Fi/cellular variants.
– A near-pristine prototype was discovered while scuba diving in the Caribbean, confirming IP68 water resistance.
– Design is identical to the Pixel Watch 4 based on leaked images.
– The chipset is unclear: either a custom Tensor or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite.
Underwater Discovery Shocks Tech World
A certification for the Pixel Watch 5 has emerged from India’s BIS agency, just one day a almost pristine prototype was discovered while diving in the Caribbean. Four model numbers are listed: G0F3Y, G1XJ6, G25QD, and GFW3R. These probably correspond to 41mm and 45mm sizes, plus Wi-Fi only and cellular trims. But at this stage, its still too early to pin down which number belongs to which version.
Scuba diver stumbles upon prototype
X user Randy Pitchford reported that a friend of his found a smartwatch while diving near Saint Martin island. Looking closely at the device, it turned out to be a Pixel Watch 5 based on the engraving on its back. For instance, the text clearly identifies it as the unreleased model. The discovery came just after a seperate dive yielded a similar find, making this a bizarre coincidence.
Design unchanged and specs revealed
From the leaked pictures, the Pixel Watch 5 looks identical to the Pixel Watch 4. The backplate also reveals other important details like IP68 ingress protection, which obviously kept salt water away from the internals. Apart from what we saw in these images, not much information is available about the upcoming wearable. Speculation suggest a custom Tensor chipset might power it, though Qualcomm recently announced the Snapdragon Wear Elite, so that could appear instead.
