Google Breaks Pixel Watch Pricing Freeze With $30–$50 Increases Ahead of August Debut

Leaked pricing suggests Google's Pixel Watch 5, due August 12, will cost $30–$50 more than its predecessor across all models — the first increase after two years of flat pricing. The 41mm Wi-Fi model jumps to $399 from $349; the 41mm LTE to $499 from $449. Dealabs and 9to5Google cite supply-chain pressure from AI infrastructure demand on DRAM and NAND production, affecting consumer electronics broadly.
