We could see a Google Pixel smartwatch as early as fall of this year

Will it be able to compete with the Apple Watch?

A Google Pixel smartwatch could arrive this fall alongside next-generation versions of the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL smartphones. An announcement is likely in October, according to serial leaker Evan Blass.

Elsewhere, German tech blog Winfuture.de reports that Google plans on introducing three new wearables to the market with the code names “Ling,” “Triton,” and “Sardine.”

A Google Pixel smartwatch makes sense. Google, developer of Wear OS, should have a wearable device to call its own, no? By releasing a smartwatch that’s tied so closely with its smartphone lineup, Google will be better able to compete with the Apple Watch and the Tizen-based smartwatches from Samsung.

At the same time, this fall could prove a difficult time for Google to launch new wearable devices.

In September, Cupertino’s likely to reveal the first Apple Watch redesign in the history of the top-selling smartwatch. At around the same time, Samsung’s probably going to announce the so-called Galaxy Gear S4. Not to mention, the Google Pixel smartwatch would also have to compete with next-generation Wear OS devices too.
