A mysterious Google smartwatch has been sighted on the FCC certification website, with speculation pointing towards it being the anticipated Google Pixel Watch 2a. The launch of the Pixel Watch 3 is not anticipated until the annual October event held by the search giant.
Mysterious Pixel Watch Emerges on FCC
The mysterious smartwatch, believed to be from Google, has made an appearance on the FCC certification website. Identified by the model number G4SKY, the listing on the site, as noted by 9to5Google, does not explicitly name the device. Indications suggest that the upcoming smartwatch will likely operate on WearOS and will incorporate Bluetooth, WiFi, and LTE functionalities within a single model. Notably, this enigmatic smartwatch does not seem to include an enabled ultrawide-band connection, a feature that has been rumored for the Pixel Watch 3.
Potential for an Affordable A-Series Smartwatch
There is uncertainty regarding whether Google intends to introduce an affordable A-series smartwatch, akin to the Pixel A-series phones. If this speculation proves accurate, the device may be dubbed the Pixel Watch 2a. Further details about this wearable gadget are expected to surface in the coming days, with the possibility of Google revealing information about its mid-range smartwatch at the upcoming I/O Developer conference next month.
Fitbit-Branded WearOS Smartwatch Possibility
Another theory suggests that the smartwatch in question could potentially be Fitbit-branded and run on WearOS.
Regarding the Google Pixel Watch 3, leaks and rumors hint at its availability in a larger size. A regulatory filing hints at a slightly larger battery capacity of 307mAh, compared to its predecessor. It is speculated that Google might provide a glimpse of this smartwatch during the upcoming I/O event.
