Leaked Pixel Watch 5 renders now appear to complete Google’s expected launch palette ahead of the company’s August 12 hardware event: Dark Anthracite, Pyrite, Natural Silver, and Warm Gold. Android Authority reports that the 41mm model is shown in all four finishes, while the larger 45mm version appears limited to Anthracite, Pyrite, and Silver. The latest images fill the gaps left by an earlier July 30 leak from Evan Blass, which placed the 41mm Dark Anthracite watch next to the 45mm Pyrite version. The new renders, shared through the EvLeaks account and also published by Android Headlines, add Natural Silver in both case sizes and the gold-toned finish in 41mm only.
Google has not confirmed the Pixel Watch 5 lineup, colors, sizes, or pricing. But the visual consistency across this month’s leaks makes the hardware direction increasingly clear: this looks like a refinement of the Pixel Watch 4 rather than a design reset.

The key buying detail is not simply that Google may offer four colors, but that the color selection may again be constrained by case size. The leaked lineup breaks down as follows:
  • The 41mm Pixel Watch 5 is expected in Dark Anthracite, Pyrite, Natural Silver, and Warm Gold.
  • The 45mm Pixel Watch 5 is expected in Dark Anthracite, Pyrite, and Natural Silver.
  • Warm Gold appears to be exclusive to the 41mm case, at least in the launch assortment shown so far.
Android Authority describes the Silver and Gold cases as high-gloss finishes, contrasting with the more matte-looking Dark Anthracite and Pyrite versions. The accompanying band colors also reinforce Google’s familiar approach of selling a coordinated case-and-strap combination rather than treating every case finish as universally available with every band.
That split matters for users who choose the 45mm watch for its screen and battery advantages. If the leak is accurate, size preference will also limit style choice: the gold model will not be an option without stepping down to the smaller case.

Familiar hardware, including side charging​

The July 30 side-by-side images also show what appears to be the Pixel Watch 4-style side charging contact arrangement. Android Authority notes that the renders offer no sign of wireless charging returning, despite continuing interest in a more conventional dock-based experience.
For existing Pixel Watch owners, that suggests the transition from Pixel Watch 4 accessories and charging habits may be less disruptive than a major chassis redesign would have been. It also points to a product cycle centered more on incremental hardware and software changes than on a radically different wearable form factor.
Earlier reporting has placed the Pixel Watch 5 alongside the Pixel 11 family at Google’s August 12 event. With the full set of case colors now apparently exposed, the remaining unknowns are more consequential than the cosmetics: U.S. pricing, fitness and health features, battery claims, LTE availability, and whether Google has any material reason for Pixel Watch 4 owners to upgrade.
