Dude, you guys, you HAVE to see this. Apparently, the Google Pixel Watch 5 is getting spoiled by the guy who made Borderlands!
So, Randy Pitchford, the legendary creator of the Borderlands universe, posts some pics on X saying his friend found a "Pixel 5" watch while scuba diving. Get this: the reverse of the watch actually shows "Pixel 5," which is the *next* one up, and it hasn't even been officially announced yet! Pitchford mentioned it looked like it had a low battery but still had enough juice to tell the time.
This feels super familiar, right? It totally throws the whole early leak vibe back at us, reminding everyone of the Pixel Watch 1 leak back in '22. It’s the classic "somebody found it" scenario, and now it’s coming from a massive gaming legend.
Here’s my take: It’s either a genuine leak, or Pitchford just has an uncanny knack for finding obscure tech. Either way, it adds a whole layer of excitement (and maybe a little bit of annoyance for Google for letting this slip). Either way, the hype train for the Pixel Watch 5 is officially rolling faster than expected.
