FULL STORY ======================================================================

Were just hours away from the full announcement of the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, but if you were hoping the Pixel Watch might make an appearance too then youre probably going to be out of luck.

According to Jon Prosser (a leaker with a generally solid but far from
perfect track record) it wont be in attendance, but he claims that its still happening, just that its been delayed until the first quarter of 2022 (so sometime between January and March).

This isnt at all surprising, as while weve been hearing rumors about the Google Pixel Watch for years, including claims that it could land at todays event , we still dont have a super clear picture of it, and wed expect to by now if it was going to launch this soon.

Last I heard, it was delayed until Q1 2022.Its still happening, just not tomorrow. https://t.co/Rd0dGN3yek October 18, 2021 See more

That said, wed still take this claim of a delay with a pinch of salt. Prosser has been wrong before, and even if the Pixel Watch isnt fully unveiled today, theres always a chance that it could be teased though it doesnt sound like Prosser thinks even that will happen.

Hopefully whenever the Google Pixel Watch does launch it will be worth the wait. It should be the much-needed showcase device for Wear OS, something which the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 briefly sounded like it might be, but wasnt quite due to some features being made exclusive to Samsung phone owners. Analysis: theres plenty coming without the Pixel Watch

While the likely lack of a Pixel Watch today is disappointing (if unsurprising) we shouldnt be short of Google announcements.

As well as the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro which look set to be the most exciting Pixel phones in years were also expecting the full launch of
Android 12 , and theres a chance well also see the Google Pixel Fold and Google Pixel Buds (2021).

There are also compelling rumors of a Pixel Pass , which could bundle
together various subscription services along with a yearly handset upgrade.

Admittedly, were not super optimistic that the Pixel Fold will show up, but
if all the other stuff does then this could be a packed event. Last-minute Google Pixel 6 Pro leak lays the Android phone bare
