The Google Pixel Watch 2 has appeared at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for regulatory approval, providing some insights into the upcoming smartwatch. The documentation mentions testing with four separate straps: a plastic active strap, a metal mesh strap, a metal link strap, and a metal slim strap. These straps appear to be similar to those available for the original Pixel Watch.
Notably, the FCC filing indicates that ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, which was previously rumored to be included in the device, is not featured in the Google Pixel Watch 2. UWB technology enables precise device location and device-to-device communication.
Despite not revealing groundbreaking details, this FCC filing confirms the imminent release of the Google Pixel Watch 2. The smartwatch is expected to launch alongside the Google Pixel 8, possibly in October. The Pixel Watch 2 is rumored to have a lightweight design with an aluminum casing, improved performance with a faster processor, and exclusive watch faces to accompany Wear OS 4, the upcoming major update for Google’s wearable software.
