Google’s next smartwatch may arrive in four case finishes, according to leaked press renders attributed to OnLeaks and published through The Tide Chart. The images appear to show the Pixel Watch 5 ahead of Google’s launch event next month.
The finishes shown in the renders are black, labeled Dark Anthracite; polished silver, labeled Natural Silver; yellow gold, labeled Warm Gold; and a darker gold shade, labeled Pyrite. The leak does not confirm hardware changes, pricing, sizes, or availability. It is about the exterior finishes, which is useful if your smartwatch buying process starts with “will this thing look ridiculous on my wrist?”
The bands shown in the leak
The renders also pair each case color with a band color. According to the leak, the Dark Anthracite case is shown with a black band. Natural Silver is shown with a light blue band. Warm Gold is shown with a coral band. Pyrite is shown with a green band.

The images were attributed to OnLeaks, which posted about the renders on X. The renders were provided to The Tide Chart. As with any pre-launch render leak, the right posture is caution: these images may reflect planned marketing assets, but Google has not been cited in the leak as announcing these finishes.
A palette that tracks with Pixel 11 rumors
The colors also line up with earlier Pixel 11 listings spotted by 9to5Google on Amazon, which reportedly showed Google’s next phone in a similar set of colors. That does not prove a shared launch strategy, but it does suggest Google may be carrying a coordinated color palette across its next phone and watch releases.
For buyers, the practical takeaway is narrow but real: if the renders are accurate, Google is preparing at least four visual treatments for the Pixel Watch 5, including two gold-toned options. The leak leaves the more consequential questions unanswered, including what is changing inside the watch and whether Google plans any meaningful battery, sensor, or software upgrades at the launch event.
