The $399 Google Pixel Watch 5 focuses on software improvements rather than significant hardware changes. It features a new satin pyrite case finish, fresh strap colors, and a Steph Curry Special Edition. Internally, it includes a slightly faster Qualcomm processor and a minor battery capacity increase. This year's model also sees a $50 price increase due to rising component costs. Visually, the watch remains largely the same as its predecessor. The most notable advancements this year are concentrated in its software features. Google is also introducing AI-generated watch faces, allowing users to create custom designs. The author tested this feature, requesting "fat cats and an elegant font," which resulted in a watch face with plump, cat-shaped clock numbers. While this AI feature might be seen as a novelty, it offers a unique customization option for those who enjoy it. The author anticipates seeing more Pixel Watches in public following these updates.
