The rumor of a Google Pixel Watch is heating up, and now 9to5Google is reporting on it. In Wear OS code, Google's APK team has discovered what it thinks to be a slew of watch faces for upcoming smartwatches. The story shows videos of watch faces inside the Wear 3.0 emulator, many of which match those revealed in earlier this year's leaked Pixel Watch pictures. We've matched some of the selection to some of Jon Prosser's initial renderings..The implication is that this collection of watch faces is for the Pixel Watch. The watch faces' design is pretty informative, and it hints at what we might anticipate from Wear 3.0 and the Pixel Watch. There are some truly exciting and colorful designs, with startling animations and complexity - and it's evident that the new smartwatch brand will have a strong visual identity explored via watch faces. The pick also reveals how Fitbit may be involved with Wear OS and the Pixel Watch. A Fitbit watch face featuring the company's logo and branding, as well as some of the important Fitbit data of steps, stairs climbed, and calories burnt, is included.However, according to the source, the Fitbit component was only available in the US region of the emulator, implying that Fitbit integration may be limited regionally when it launches next year. It's furthermore proof that Google is working on its own wristwatch for 2022. The Pixel Watch is expected to arrive in Q2 2022, according to the leaks. Wear 3.0, which was introduced on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 but has yet to be pushed out to any current Wear OS smartwatches, is likely to arrive around the same time.
