The rumors about Google's own smartwatch with the name Pixel Watch have almost become a certainty: The well-known leaker Jon Prosser has published official pictures of the smartwatch according to his own statements. They confirm what has not yet been considered certain.
Update from December 6th, 2021: No sooner have the waves hit again after the latest report on Google's plans for its own Smartwatch next year, there is something new about the Pixel Watch. The well-known leaker and YouTuber Jon Prosser has published official marketing images from internal sources on Google in a video, according to his own statements:

They should not only confirm the existence of the Google Smartwatch, but also the design that Prosser already showed in rendering, as well as the name: Pixel Watch. They also coincide with the information Business Insider recently obtained from its own sources (you can read more about this in the article below). For Google fans and everyone who wants to get the smartwatch, these are good signs that they are looking to meet their own requirements on Google: to build a smartwatch that shows other products what is possible.

Google's Smartwatch: First Features Leaked
Not much is known about Google's rumored plans for its own smartwatch in the coming year, but the veil is lifting little by little. Inside information suggests that Google is pursuing the same strategy with the smartwatch, which is often already known as the "Pixel Watch" - the name is not certain - as it did with the Pixel smartphones: Show customers and the competition what is possible.
The Galaxy Watch 4 already uses WearOS, which was jointly developed by Google and Samsung. However, one cannot yet speak of a breakthrough of the system, some functions are still missing months after the market launch. As an insider reveals, Google's own smartwatch should instead show what is possible when hardware and software interlock perfectly (source: Business Insider via The Verge).
The details are still covered. The few insights into Google's plans do not look groundbreaking: Apparently there should be heart rate measurement and a step counter - the absolute basics. The integration of a Fitbit app on the Google Smartwatch, which is probably also being prepared, could be exciting. There is still a lot to be done before the start of the smartwatch, which is to be developed under the project name "Rohan".
Competitor to the Apple Watch: Google wants to see money
According to The Verge, Google's smartwatch - similar to the current Pixel phones - will not be an entry-level model. Instead, they will compete with the Apple Watch on price. From 400 euros and up would then be expected. To do this, Google must also deliver features that are worth the money.
Before buying a smartwatch, you should consider a few things:
You couldn't just orientate yourself towards Apple when it comes to the price range. The largely entangled integration into Google's own services could also be a great advantage for a Pixel Watch.
