The watch was found underwater near the island of St Martin. Hilariously, Pitchford can be seen in the reflection of both photos, which makes this story all the more hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet confirmed that the owner has now been found, and because the battery is dead, a lot about the device isn\u2019t revealed, but it\u2019s a funny tech leak that goes alongside iPhone found in a bar and Assassin\u2019s Creed game leaked on a plane.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Update: Thanks to the magic of the internet, I am now in touch with the owner and we\u2019ve arranged for its return. If you find something that isn\u2019t yours, pay it forward and try to return it to its rightful owner. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NaqUHuvJmM\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/NaqUHuvJmM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DuvalMagic\/status\/2061232876360732873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tweet reads: \u201cA friend of mine found this watch a few days ago ~underwater~ when he was scuba diving near the island of St. Martin. He noted that the reverse of the watch indicates that it is a Google Pixel 5, which has not yet been announced, let alone released. It seems to be fine. The face indicates an empty battery, but seems to have enough reserve power to display the correct time. He asked me to have a look because he seems to believe I am connected in the tech industry. Who can help me out? Who knows how to find the person this unreleased watch belong to and let me know how can we return it to them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Press Start may receive a commission when you buy from links on our site at no extra cost&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":709161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[64,63,213,10893,344853,105],"class_list":["post-709160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-gadgets","tag-google-pixel","tag-pixel-watch-5","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=709160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/709161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=709160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=709160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=709160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
