We’re just hours away from the full announcement of theGoogle Pixel 6and the Pixel 6 Pro, but if you were hoping thePixel Watchmight make an appearance too then you’re probably going to be out of luck.

According toJon Prosser(a leaker with a generally solid but far from perfect track record) it won’t be in attendance, but he claims that it’s still happening, just that it’s been delayed until the first quarter of 2022 (so sometime between January and March).

This isn’t at all surprising, as while we’ve been hearing rumors about theGoogle Pixel Watchfor years, including claims thatit could land at today’s event, we still don’t have a super clear picture of it, and we’d expect to by now if it was going to launch this soon.

That said, we’d still take this claim of a delay with a pinch of salt. Prosser has been wrong before, and even if the Pixel Watch isn’t fully unveiled today, there’s always a chance that it could be teased – though it doesn’t 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 theSamsung Galaxy Watch 4briefly sounded like it might be, but wasn’t quite due to some features being made exclusive toSamsungphone owners.

Analysis: there’s plenty coming without the Pixel Watch

While the likely lack of a Pixel Watch today is disappointing (if unsurprising) we shouldn’t be short of Google announcements.

As well as the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro – which look set to bethe most exciting Pixel phones in years– we’re also expecting the full launch ofAndroid 12, and there’s a chance we’ll also see theGoogle Pixel Foldand Google Pixel Buds (2021).

Admittedly, we’re not super optimistic that the Pixel Fold will show up, but if all the other stuff does then this could be a packed event.
