Now that the Apple Watch Eight has landed there’s only one extra main smartwatch launch anticipated this yr, and that’s the Google Pixel Watch – a wearable which might show much more inexpensive than Apple’s newest.

That’s in accordance with leaker @Sudhanshu1414, who – in a PriceBaba unique – claimed that the Pixel Watch will begin at between €250 (roughly $250 / £220 / AU$370) and €350 (round $350 / £305 / AU$520).

Now, conversions are unlikely to be correct, however for reference the Apple Watch Eight begins at €499 / $399 / £419 / AU$629, so it’s considerably greater than this leak suggests the Pixel Watch might be. The truth is, Google’s wearable appears set to be priced extra in keeping with the $249 / £259 / AU$399 Apple Watch SE 2.

So this might be fairly an inexpensive gadget – although notably that’s for a Wi-Fi-only model, with mobile fashions anticipated to value extra. A earlier leak steered a value of $399 (roughly £350 / AU$595) for a mobile model.

This newest leak additionally reveals attainable colours, with the supply stating that the Google Pixel Watch might be accessible in Chalk, Obsidian and Charcoal shades. That’s for the physique of the watch, not the strap, and certain interprets to white, black, and grayish-blue.

We might nonetheless take this declare with a pinch of salt, particularly as an earlier leak pointed to grey, black and gold shades – so a barely totally different choice.

We’ll know the reality quickly, as Google is ready to completely unveil this wearable on October 6, alongside the Google Pixel 7 line. 

Evaluation: stacking as much as Samsung

Past the Apple Watch line, the Pixel Watch’s principal competitors comes from the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, a wearable that begins at $279 / £269 / AU$499, so a possible comparable value to Google’s watch if the leaks are correct.

Nonetheless, the Galaxy Watch 5 is available in a number of sizes with costs rising for the bigger one, after which there’s the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Professional, which begins at $449.99 / £429 / AU$799.99 and goes up if you need mobile connectivity. So whereas beginning costs could be comparable, Samsung’s prime fashions might be much more costly.

Does that imply the Pixel Watch might be a discount then, or just much less succesful than a few of the finest smartwatches from different manufacturers? For now, we’re unsure, but when Google’s smartphones are something to go by it might be extra the latter.
