Redditor finds unreleased Pixel Watch in restaurant lost & found

Unreleased Pixel Watch left at bar

Just as Apple’s 2010 flagship leaked after being left at a bar, history has repeated itself as the Pixel Watch prototype had its iPhone 4 moment over the weekend.

The unreleased Pixel Watch sat in the lost and found section of a restaurant for several weeks before someone took notice.

and didnt sit in a sterile lab all this time,

No “Find my watch” feature?

It’s tradition by now to gauge public opinion of new tech products by “forgetting” it in a bar before making an official announcement.

Zero chance this happened by accident.

Do you have other examples of when this happened?

Smaller companies like OnePlus trying to ride Apple’s coat tails but I can’t find the story now, probably because it was either not OnePlus or not a bar…
