The video confirms the Pixel Watch 5 retains the same design as last year's model and emphasizes its integration with Gemini Intelligence.", "body_md": "Following teasers for the [11 Pro](https://9to5google.com/2026/07/29/pixel-11-pro-teaser-2/) and [11 Pro Fold](https://9to5google.com/2026/08/03/pixel-11-pre-order-fold-tease/) over the past week, Google today finally released a video for the Pixel Watch 5.\n\nThe main premise of this promo is that the Pixel Watch 5 is a smartwatch that “tracks your health, sleep and fitness,” but doesn’t look like one. An analog watch face is shown (Abstract).\n\nTo the best of my memory, the “still has the decency to look like a watch” line is the first time Google has emphasized the Pixel Watch’s circular design against competitors.\n\nIt comes as the Apple Watch remains a rectangle, while the Galaxy Watch has firmly moved to the squircle shape.\n\nOtherwise, this teaser confirms that the Pixel Watch 5 looks exactly like last year’s model, with the charging pins visible today.\n\nThe final shot emphasizes how this is the “Google Pixel Watch 5 with Gemini Intelligence.”\n\n## More on Pixel Watch 5:\n\n[Pixel Watch 5 leaked marketing images surface one week before launch](https://9to5google.com/2026/08/05/pixel-watch-5-leaked-images/)[Pixel Watch 5 specs leak reveals what’s new: ‘Accelerated’ chip, 2nd-gen Active Band, more](https://9to5google.com/2026/08/04/pixel-watch-5-specs-leak-2/)[Pixel Watch 5 leaks detail new ‘Pyrite’ color, higher $399 starting price](https://9to5google.com/2026/07/08/google-pixel-watch-5-price-colors-leak/)\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5google.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Google on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5google.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5google.com/guides/reviews/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5google.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5google)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pixel-watch-5-teaser-pokes-fun-at-apple-samsung-by-having-decency-to-look-like-a", "canonical_source": "https://9to5google.com/2026/08/07/pixel-watch-5-teaser/", "published_at": "2026-08-07 16:23:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-09 13:40:10.619072+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Google", "Pixel Watch 5", "Apple Watch", "Galaxy Watch", "Gemini Intelligence"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pixel-watch-5-teaser-pokes-fun-at-apple-samsung-by-having-decency-to-look-like-a", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pixel-watch-5-teaser-pokes-fun-at-apple-samsung-by-having-decency-to-look-like-a.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pixel-watch-5-teaser-pokes-fun-at-apple-samsung-by-having-decency-to-look-like-a.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pixel-watch-5-teaser-pokes-fun-at-apple-samsung-by-having-decency-to-look-like-a.jsonld"}}
