Google has released the Japan-time schedule for its Made by Google product launch event. Reservations for the Pixel 11 series will open at 11 p.m. on 12 August, the event will begin at 7 a.m. on 13 August, and a Google Store will open in Omotesando on the same day.
Google announced the Japan-time timetable on its official X account. Reservations for the Pixel 11 series will open at 11 p.m. on 12 August, the Made by Google opening livestream will begin at 7 a.m. on 13 August, and a flagship Google Store is scheduled to open in Omotesando, Tokyo, on the same day. The stream is expected to be available only in English, with viewing anticipated during the 7 a.m. hour. A page for adding the event to a calendar is also available.
The article points out inconsistent wording regarding the reservation opening time. The official X post says reservations open at 11 p.m. on 12 August, while a dedicated Google Store page says they start on 13 August. The article headline lists both the 12 August start date and the discrepancy. The safest approach is said to be checking the announcement on the official page on the day for final confirmation.
The Pixel Watch 5 may also be announced on the same day, according to reports. Leaked information to date has suggested the return of a 42 mm size and a price increase, among other details. Opportunities to try the devices in person are expected to increase, making the information relevant to people considering what to do with their current Pixel Watch 4.
On 13 August, the Google Store in Omotesando will open as Google's first directly operated flagship store in Japan. Visitors will be able to try the devices in person, which could also influence purchasing decisions for wearable devices other than the watch.
