Fuchsia Testing on Pixel Watch

I came across this post on the Fuchsia Git from May, a Pixel Watch 3 was running Fuchsia. It's the only post in the Git with "PW" in it that I could find, so I'm assuming that it accidentally snuck through.

Fuchsia on the Pixel Watch would make a lot of sense; it's lighter weight than Android, so it should perform better with better battery life, plus there aren't as many apps to be recompiled for Fuchsia compared to phones.

I'd be surprised if we see the conversion any time soon, but it is exciting to see this happening.

Wow, interesting.

I would say they are likely running some testing internally

They’re on PW 5. What makes you think that the transition hasn’t already happened
