The new Google Pixel Watch is a bundle of contradictions. Thanks to the many, many leaks, I knew that before I even set my eyes on it. Still, it simultaneously felt like I’d seen it a million times before and like I was discovering a brand-new object for the very first time.

Google outdid itself, proposing a cute and professional watch in the same design.

The renders and thousands of leaked photos don’t really do the Pixel Watch justice. In person, I was taken aback by how sleek it looks and how it manages to blend “cute” and “professional” in the same design. With curves in all the right places, the Pixel Watch feels significantly smaller and thinner than it really is. Google outdid itself here, proposing a smartwatch I can imagine complementing a running t-shirt and an evening dress or suit just as well.
