Google Takes Aim at Rival Smartwatches in Pixel Watch 5 Teaser

Google has released a teaser video for its upcoming Pixel Watch 5, which pokes fun at rival smartwatches that don't have traditional round watch cases. The video, published on the Made by Google YouTube channel, hints at the design of the new device.

The tease doesn't call out any specific watches but emphasizes the importance of a round watch case for tracking health metrics and looking like a traditional watch. This is likely a jab at devices like the Apple Watch, which has a square-ish shape.

Recent leaks have revealed some features of the Pixel Watch 5, including improved heart metrics, advanced sleep tracking, and the Ask Gemini function. The device will also alert users when they're behind pace on runs.
