The Pixel Watch will be released alongside Google’s next flagship smartphone, the Pixel 7 – a direct rival for the iPhone – with both going on sale in the autumn. Elsewhere, the company announced new earphones called the Pixel Buds Pro, which feature noise-cancelling technology, and its latest budget smartphone, the Pixel 6a – which includes some features found on last year’s flagship Pixel 6 device. “It’s been a long time coming but Google has finally launched a flagship wearable and the Pixel Watch should get your pulse racing,” he said. “With the growth in fitness trackers it looks like a shrewd move, and the Pixel Watch’s minimalist round design is likely to win admirers.” The event also included a notable preview of a pair of smartglasses that Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said the company was currently testing and developing.
