Google’s Pixel Watch 5 is close. Regulatory filings, an appearance inside Google’s own Health app, and a brief tease in Google’s own event trailer all point to a watch that’s almost ready to launch. Google hasn’t announced the device itself yet, so this guide separates what Google has confirmed from what leakers and reporters are saying, and gets you ready for the Made by Google event on August 12.
Has Google announced the Pixel Watch 5?
Google has confirmed the Made by Google event for August 12, 2026, in New York City. The keynote starts at 6 PM ET (11 PM WAT), and Trevor Noah is hosting, with guests including Stephen Curry, Alex Cooper, Shubman Gill, Ayami Nakajo, Peggy Gou, and PinkPantheress. Google’s own teaser for the event showed a quick glimpse of the Pixel Watch 5, the first time Google has acknowledged the device by name.
A few other signs point the same way. Four model numbers for the watch cleared US FCC certification in June, and the name “Google Pixel Watch 5” briefly showed up as a setup option inside Google’s own Health app. None of this confirms the specs or the price, but it confirms the watch exists and is close to launch.
When will the Pixel Watch 5 release?
