Unveiling the Mysterious Google Smartwatch: FCC Certification Hints at Wear OS Device
As anticipation builds for the annual Google I/O 2024 developer conference, a surprising discovery has emerged on the FCC certification website. The FCC listing hints at Google’s development of a new smartwatch, identified by the model number G4SKY and running on Wear OS, aligning with existing Pixel smartwatch platforms. However, speculation suggests that this device is unlikely to be directly linked to the Pixel Watch 3, slated for a debut at Google’s Fall launch event later this year.
According to the FCC listing, this enigmatic smartwatch is expected to feature Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE connectivity in a single model. Notably, it does not seem to support UWB connection, a feature that was anticipated for the Pixel Watch 3. The identity of this smartwatch remains uncertain, with theories suggesting it could be a mid-range offering from Google or possibly a Fitbit-branded device running Wear OS. Alternately, it’s posited as a potential Pixel Watch 2a, although no corroborating evidence has surfaced from industry tipsters.
Despite the lack of concrete details, the Pixel Watch 3 is anticipated to be teased at Google I/O 2024. It is expected that the Pixel Watch 3 may feature a 307mAh battery, a slight increase from its predecessor. In a departure from previous launches, speculation hints at the possibility of Google offering the Pixel Watch 3 in two sizes, catering to varied user preferences.
