The creator of “Borderlands” showcased hidden models of the Google Pixel Watch 5 that, according to claims, were found on the ocean floor.

Short about the event

The creator of the *Borderlands* game series Randy Pitchford stated that a friend found “working” Google Pixel Watch 5 smartwatches while diving near Saint Martin Island in the Caribbean Sea. Pitchford posted photos of the device on X and announced its return to the owner.

What exactly happened
1. Device found

- The watches were discovered underwater, but from the outside they looked like a fully functional product.

- The back panel read “Google Pixel 5,” even though there has been no official announcement or release yet.

2. Condition check

- Pitchford noted that the battery was depleted, but the watches still display the correct time, indicating their batteries are still functioning.

3. Return to owner

- After posting on X, Pitchford located the owner and arranged for the return of the watches.

Comparison with the past
- In 2022 a similar story emerged around early Pixel Watch prototypes: someone posted photos on Reddit claiming that their bartender found the watches in a restaurant.

- This case is reminiscent of the “iPhone 4 prototype” incident, supposedly left in a bar in 2010.

What’s known about the new watches
- Information on Pixel Watch 5 specifications is limited.

- Previous rumors suggested it would have its own Google Tensor processor.

- Google typically showcases new Pixel models in August, so official details will appear later.

Conclusion: It is still unknown whether these are truly Pixel Watch 5 prototypes, but if confirmed, we could see them in action within a couple of months after the announcement.
