A prototype Google Pixel Watch 5 was apparently found in the Caribbean – during a dive.
A BIS certification listing from India now reveals four model numbers of the Pixel Watch 5, pointing to 41mm and 45mm size options across Wi-Fi and cellular variants. Separately, an X user recently shared images of a Pixel Watch 5 prototype reportedly recovered from the Caribbean Sea near Saint Martin, showing IP68 ingress protection markings on the rear.

Just a day after an almost pristine Pixel Watch 5 prototype was discovered during a dive in the Caribbean, we now have a certification for the yet-to-be-released wearable from India's BIS certification agency.

From the listing, we can see four model numbers: G0F3Y, G1XJ6, G25QD, and GFW3R. These are likely the Pixel Watch 5's 41mm and 45mm sizes and its two connectivity trims - Wi-Fi only and cellular. But as it stands, it is still too early to determine exactly which model number corresponds to each version.

The scuba-diving leak came from X user Randy Pitchford, and according to him, a friend of his found a smartwatch while diving near the island of Saint Martin in the Caribbean. Upon closer inspection, the device turned out to be a Pixel Watch 5, at least based on the writing on the back, as shown in one of the images below.

From the pictures, the Pixel Watch 5 looks identical to the Pixel Watch 4. We could also see a couple of other key specs engraved on the back. These include IP68 ingress protection, which has obviously kept the salt water from messing with Watch 5's internals. Apart from the information from the leaked images, there's not much information out there about the Pixel Watch 5.

A previous rumor pointed out that the watch could feature a custom Tensor chipset; however, Qualcomm did announce the Snapdragon Wear Elite, so we could see that being featured in the watch instead.
