Google Pixel Watch 5 May Add AI at $400 as Battery Concerns Persist

Summary
$400 is the rumored starting price for the Pixel Watch 5 Wi-Fi model, up $50 from its predecessor, even as leaks point mainly to AI additions rather than fixes to core usability issues.
A custom Tensor chip and a Gemini shortcut are expected to headline the upgrade cycle, but there is still no confirmed sign of bigger battery capacity, faster charging or more reliable charging behavior.
Design changes also appear limited: the watch is tipped to keep its familiar circular look, crown and band system, while some color and size combinations — including a 45mm warm gold option — may be unavailable.
That mix of higher pricing and modest visible changes could leave Google needing stronger real-world gains in battery life and reliability to convince existing users the new model is more than an incremental refresh.
