Google's Pixel Smartwatch was very close to the real thing. As detailed in a report by Business Insider interviewing six former employees, Google hardware company head Rick Osterloch dropped the ax just before the Pixel original phone was unveiled in 2016. The main reason for this the sudden change in the plans of an employee who worked on the project is that "they don't look like what belongs to the Pixel family."
Google is preparing for its first major attempt to build a gadget ecosystem, and a former employee said the company fears that the watches may "… take down the name of Google's hardware brand." Also, a former employee said that the synchronization process between the Pixel phone and these watches was "not working so well." [1
Google has once again dispelled rumors about the Pixel clock in 2018, but there is still hope that Google will cost $ 40 million to acquire Fossil technology in a new, leading watch one day. Based on a new leak that may come in the form of a hybrid smart watch (codenamed "Diana") which, according to a report by Wareable mixes digital and analog technologies. But there is no indication that any watch will be announced on October 15 at Google's hardware event along with Pixel 4, and sources at Business Insider say it is not expected to happen.
Several manufacturers have stopped making Wear OS over the years, some notable Wear OS applications have disappeared and Google has not released many new software features lately. However, Fossil and Ticwatch continue to make watches on Wear OS, and they are surprisingly decent.
