Wetin be dis? Na so we dey see tech leaks for random places. But dis one wey we go yarn today, e reach another level. According to Randy Pitchford, wey be co-founder of Gearbox, im friend bin go scuba diving near St. Martin island for Caribbean. While for ocean bottom, di friend see one watch. Wen e pick am, e see say e be unreleased Google Pixel Watch 5.
Di watch still dey work even after e don swim for ocean. E get markings wey dey show “Google” and “Pixel Watch 5” for back. Also, dey write sensor names like SpO2, EDA, Skin Temperature, Heart Rate Sensor, Pulse Sensor, and UWB. Plus e get IP68 water resistance. Dis one na serious leak o.
Pitchford yarn say dem don find di owner through di magic of internet. Dem don arrange to return di watch. Di whole story dey cause wahala for social media. Marques Brownlee, di famous YouTuber, talk say dis na “the most Google thing to ever happen.”
Di Pixel Watch 5 suppose get round shape, thinner bezels, 41mm and 45mm sizes, enhanced Sapphire crystal display, and OLED screen with 3,000 nits peak brightness. E go likely run WearOS 7 and use NPT Tensor chip or Qualcomm W5 Gen 3 chip. But di timing dey funny because Pixel Watch 4 launch for October last year. So Pixel Watch 5 no suppose dey ready now.
But di watch look like e ready to ship tomorrow. E get complete hardware. E fit be prototype wey Google employee drop for ocean by mistake. If dis story true, Google need to tighten prototype security. Leak for ocean? Na new level o.
