Notice that they especially mentioned that the candidate has to drive excellence in mechanical and electrical design. Google has also tied up with big brands like LG and Tag Heuer to indicate that it may provide their own OS, called WearOS which may power the smartwatches. WearOS is rumoured to be compatible with both Android and iOS. Also, Google buying Fossil Tech for $40 million suggests that the first Pixel smart wearable may be inspired by a Fossil design. With just the Pixel Buds in the wearables category, Google may be looking towards stepping up its game against other big competitors like Apple.
