Google Pixel Watch is up for pre-order, pricing starts at CA$450

Google has officially taken the wraps off the Pixel Watch, its first entry in the smartwatch space. The company has already made the device available for pre-order. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi option costs $450, while the 4G LTE option retails for $530. 

As previewed earlier this year, the Pixel Watch sported a domed, circular glass design with scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5 paired with a stainless steel housing. The watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, allowing it to withstand pressure equal to a depth of 50 metres. This watch features an always-on display, allowing you to see the time even when you're not interacting with it. But that should impact battery life, which is expected to last up to 24 hours on a single charge.

The Nissan Leaf brand seems to have been in limbo. There are reports that the compact electric hatchback will evolve into a different vehicle or that the Leaf brand will disappear entirely. During a media event in Tennessee last week, Aditya Jairaj, Nissan's director of EV marketing and sales strategy, said the "Leaf is here to stay."

The current Leaf recently received a refresh. And it's considered one of the least-expensive EVs on the market. But will it keep its form factor? Another Nissan spokesperson confirmed with CNET that "with time, design evolves." This confirmation coincides with reports that the Leaf could become a larger SUV.
