MyMobiles has seen Google marketing material for the Pixel Watch 5, along with a technical document dated May 2026 that lists the full specification of both the 41mm and 45mm models. Google is expected to announce the watch alongside the Pixel 11 series at Made by Google in New York on Wednesday 12 August. Here is everything the material shows.

What Google's marketing slides show
The slides are Google's own feature marketing, and they make the pitch clear: this launch is about software, not hardware. Four themes run through them.
Gemini on the wrist. Two slides are given over to Gemini Intelligence, described as "a personal, proactive assistant" that "anticipates your needs and delivers helpful information at just the right moment", including reply suggestions drawn from the conversation on screen.
Loss of Pulse Detection. One slide leads on the watch detecting an absent pulse and calling for help automatically. The feature itself arrived on the Pixel Watch 3 and is already live in the UK - here it is front and centre of the pitch.
Sleep. Google calls it "our most accurate sleep tracking yet", crediting a sleep algorithm validated against reference measurements. The slides show sleep stages, breathing rate and a personalised sleep score, feeding a morning Insights screen with a readiness score and the day's weather.
Battery. The engineering slide leads on "up to 40 hours" - that is the 45mm figure - alongside the Actua 360 display and Gorilla Glass.
One more slide in the pack is not about the watch at all: a Pixel 11 phone battery slide. The numbers on it - 30+ hours, wireless charging "25% faster than before" via the improved PixelSnap, a wired top-up to 55% in 5 minutes - match the Pixel 11 specs that leaked in full last week, but here they are in Google's own marketing artwork, which is its own kind of confirmation.
Pixel Watch 5 specs in full
From the technical document, covering both sizes. The outgoing Pixel Watch 4 is the benchmark for every carried-over line:
| Specification | 41mm | 45mm |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 12.3mm | 12.3mm |
| Weight (without strap) | 31.0g | 36.7g |
| Display | Actua 360, 320ppi LTPO AMOLED, up to 3,000 nits, 1-60Hz | |
| Glass | Custom 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 | |
| Chip | Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 with Cortex-M55 coprocessor | |
| Storage | 64GB | |
| Software | Wear OS 7.0 | |
| Battery | 332mAh | 465mAh |
| Battery life (always-on) | Up to 30 hours | Up to 40 hours |
| Battery saver | Up to 48 hours | Up to 72 hours |
| Charging | 50% in ~15 min, 80% in ~25 min, full in ~45 min | 50% in ~15 min, 80% in ~30 min, full in ~60 min |
| Connectivity | 4G LTE and UMTS, Bluetooth 6.0, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, ultra-wideband, satellite SOS | |
| GPS | Dual-frequency: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS | |
| Interaction | One-handed touchless gestures, haptic crown, side button, 3rd-generation haptics | |
| Durability | 5 ATM and IP68 (the straps themselves are not water-resistant) | |
| Sensors | Optical heart rate, SpO2, ECG, cEDA skin conductance, skin temperature, altimeter, barometer, compass | |
| Warranty | Two years in the UK, EEA, Switzerland and Australia | |
Two details in the document's small print stand out. Satellite SOS is included at no additional cost for two years from activation. And the sustainability line goes further than before: a 100% recycled aluminium case, a battery using 100% recycled cobalt, magnets from 100% recycled rare-earth metals, and plastic-free packaging.
In the box: the watch, the second-generation Sport Band in sizes S and L, a USB-C fast charging dock and a quick start guide. There is no mains adapter, and the quoted charge times assume a 30W one - any 30W USB-C charger will do, including the one Google sells for its Pixel phones. And since the domed Gorilla Glass 5 front carries over, existing Pixel Watch screen protectors should fit from day one.
Colours
Four finishes, each paired with its own second-generation Sport Band. Champagne Gold is exclusive to the smaller watch.
| Case | Band | 41mm | 45mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matte Black | Volcanic Black | Yes | Yes |
| Polished Silver | Mist | Yes | Yes |
| Satin Pyrite | Olive | Yes | Yes |
| Champagne Gold | Peach Pink | Yes | No |
You may have seen these finishes reported elsewhere as Dark Anthracite, Natural Silver, Pyrite and Warm Gold - same watches, different names. The names above follow Google's own convention from the Pixel Watch 4, which shipped as Matte Black, Polished Silver, Champagne Gold and Satin Moonstone.
The cases are 100% recycled aluminium, and the slides show the same interchangeable band system as before, so existing Pixel Watch bands should fit.
What changes from the Pixel Watch 4
Less than the length of the spec sheet suggests. Storage doubles, the software moves up a version, and the battery grows slightly without changing the rated life.
| Spec | Pixel Watch 4 | Pixel Watch 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | 32GB | 64GB |
| Software | Wear OS 6 | Wear OS 7.0 |
| Battery 41mm / 45mm | 325mAh / 455mAh | 332mAh / 465mAh |
| Battery life | 30h / 40h | Unchanged |
| Display | Actua 360, 3,000 nits | Unchanged |
| Chip | Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 | Unchanged |
| Charging | 50% in 15 min | Unchanged |
The chip, display, sizes, charging and battery ratings all carry over. If you own a Pixel Watch 4 there is very little here to move for - and Wear OS 7 is already rolling out to older Pixel Watches anyway.
Price
Leaked pricing, none of it confirmed by Google:
| Model | US | UK | Europe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 41mm Wi-Fi | $399 | £369 | €419 |
| 41mm LTE | $499 | £469 | €519 |
| 45mm Wi-Fi | $429 | £399 | €449 |
| 45mm LTE | $529 | £499 | €549 |
How much of a rise that is depends on where you are. In the US every model costs more than the Pixel Watch 4. In the UK the increase lands on the 41mm only - the 45mm stays at £399 and £499.
Release date
Google's Made by Google event is confirmed for Wednesday 12 August 2026 in New York. Pre-orders are expected to open straight after the keynote, with the watch on sale from around 20 August. Four model numbers cleared the FCC at the end of June - the usual sign that launch is weeks away.
MyMobiles take
This is a storage-and-software year. Google's own slides barely mention hardware: the sell is Gemini, sleep accuracy and Loss of Pulse Detection, and the spec sheet confirms why - the chip, display and charging are the same as last year.
The pricing detail worth noticing: the rise lands mostly on the smaller watch, which narrows the gap to the 45mm - and the 45mm is the one with the 465mAh cell and the 40-hour rating. If you were on the fence between sizes, the bigger watch just got relatively cheaper.
And as with every Pixel launch, the best value move is usually the outgoing model: the Pixel Watch 4 is a near-identical watch that will be discounted within days of the Watch 5 reaching shops.
While you wait for the Pixel Watch 5
- Google Pixel Watch 4 on Amazon - the outgoing model, and the one to watch for a price drop.
- Pixel Watch 5 listings on Amazon - empty until launch day, then the fastest place to see real stock.
- Pixel Watch bands - the lug system carries over, so Watch 4 bands fit.
- Screen protectors - the domed glass is unchanged, so existing sizes apply.
- Charging docks - the contact-pin dock carries over from the Watch 4.
- Google Pixel 11 - announced at the same event, and the obvious pairing.
On the contract side, a watch is usually cheapest bought outright and paired with a cheap SIM - our SIM-only deals pages cover the plans worth pairing with an LTE watch, and Pixel 10 deals are where the Pixel discounts currently sit.
