Google just saved us from a month of Pixel Watch rumors--and probably a terrible watch, too

With barely a month to go until Google holds its annual Pixel event, it seems as though one of the most anticipated announcements won't be happening. In an interview at IGA on Friday with Miles Barr, director of engineering for Wear OS, former Macworld reporter Caitlin McGarry of Tom's Hardware learned that Google won't be releasing a watch this year, as had been previously rumored. Well, at least we now know how Google was actually able to keep something secret. We'll likely never know whether the project was canceled, delayed, or simply never existed, but the fact of the matter is that we haven't seen any leaked Pixel Watch shots because there weren't any to take. So now there probably won't be any surprises at the event since we've already seen every square inch of the Pixel phones.
