The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Google announced the Pixel Watch 5 at Made by Google on 12 August 2026 with general availability from 20 August 2026 (https://www.androidcentral[3].com/phones/live/made-by-google-2026-launch-live-pixel-11-pixel-11-pro-fold-pixel-watch-5-and-everything-that-was-announced). The separate Stephen Curry Edition followed on 3 September.
TechCrunch confirms the Pixel Watch 5 was announced at the Made by Google[1] event on August 12, 2026, roughly four weeks before the pin's stored September 8, 2026 date, consistent with an announcement-to-availability gap.
Android Central's own title - "Made by Google[1] 2026 Launch Live: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 5, and everything that was announced" - corroborates TechCrunch's[2] account of the same August 12, 2026 event, though the fetched page was truncated before any date details could be confirmed directly.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
