Google’s upcoming ‘Pixel Watch’ Watchfaces including Fitbit integration
The most recent version of Android Studio’s Wear OS 3 emulator showed off what look to be the watch faces for Google’s widely anticipated Pixel Watch. During Google I/O 2021 in May, the firm revealed an emulator for the next Wear smartwatch.
While Samsung has since released the Galaxy Watch 4, which was the first device to run on Wear OS 3, this smartwatch has a number of Samsung-specific changes. As it stands, other OEMs like Fossil and Mobvoi won’t have watched with Wear OS 3 until 2022. This leaves the emulator in Android Studio as the only way to find out what the stock version of Wear OS 3 on future watches. Over the past few months, Google has constantly updated this emulator with new apps and software.
Android Wear OS emulator has undergone a lot of modifications since we originally saw it in May, as Android aficionados on Reddit demonstrated last week. Our APK Insight team noticed a movie in the Wear OS 3 emulator files when digging further into this upgraded experience. The video purports to demonstrate a number of watch faces that will be available on a Wear OS device in the near future.
A total of 10 different watch faces are displayed, including one that prominently displays the Fitbit logo. More importantly, however, two of the watch faces, pictured below, were also seen in the Pixel Watch’s internal renderings which were shared by Front Page Tech on YouTube earlier this month. This strongly implies that this collection of watch faces is for the Google Pixel Watch which has been the subject of rumours for some time.
