Google’s upcoming Pixel Watch got an earlier-than-expected unveiling when someone accidentally left it at a restaurant bar and Android Central posted photos of the device as part of a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session under the username Tagtech414, according to an Ars Technica report Monday (April 25).
The Pixel Watch pictures depict a non-working prototype that no one knows how to charge and might have been remotely wiped. The watch was sitting in the restaurant’s lost and found area for “several weeks” before the photos surfaced, the report says.
Based on the pictures, Google’s smart watch is widest on the top glass cover, according to the report. The watch features a proprietary, removable watch band that feature black inserts, although it’s unclear what they will be used for at this point, possibly date connection or watch charging, the report says.
The silver middle section also houses a spinning digital crown and one extra button on the right side, while the left side has what looks like a speaker and microphone, according to the report, while the bottom of the watch features a heart rate monitor (four sensor slots in the middle) and an ECG sensor (two big silver halves).

In January, Verizon announced that it will soon offer BlueJeans Meetings preloaded on Google’s Glass Enterprise Edition 2 glass wearables sold by Verizon. When paired with a Google Pixel 6 phone, the phone will serve as a 5G mobile hotspot, enabling the glass wearables to utilize 5G’s low latency, and users to work hands-free while using high-definition video.
The BlueJeans Meetings video conferencing app provides a “see what I see” experience so that a back-office client can see what a remote user wearing the glasses sees, primarily for remote support. BlueJeans Meetings also gives the back-office client using a PC some control over the communication, enabling them to turn on the flashlight on the glasses or zoom in using the digital zoom within the camera.
