The secret ingredients that could make a Pixel Watch matter
If we're going to talk about a Pixel Watch, we need to get one thing straight right out of the gate: All signs suggest there is no Pixel Watch — not yet, anyway. As of this moment, there's no reason to believe Google has any such product prepared to launch at its Oct. 15 hardware event. In fact, recent reports say a Pixel Watch isn't on the agenda at all for this year — period.
But hang on: That isn't the end of the story. It's actually just the beginning.
Those same reports, y'see, also tell us a Pixel Watch was ready to be released three years ago, at Google's first-ever Pixel-branded hardware hoedown in 2016. The company apparently had two LG-manufactured watches on its hands but decided to scrap 'em at the last minute, as they were deemed to be too underwhelming to bear the Pixel name.
