Less than 10 minutes after losing a Pixel Watch 5 at Madrid airport security, the traveler recovered it by triggering its ring function through Google’s Find Hub app.
The watch had slipped into the security conveyor system, and repeated ringing helped officers trace the sound inside the belt before sending it back through X-ray to the owner.
Find Hub works on Pixel Watch models from the first generation onward if location services are on and the watch is allowed to be located under the device administration settings.
The episode highlights Google’s stronger device-finding tools for crowded transit hubs, though the user noted Pixel Watch still lacks a phone alert when the watch is left behind.
