Exciting news for tech enthusiasts! The highly-anticipated Pixel Watch 3 has made its way to the FCC for regulatory approval ahead of the Made by Google 2024 event next month. This latest development unveils four model numbers, signaling the arrival of the Pixel Watch 3 rather than the Pixel 9, as indicated by the familiar steps to access the FCC E-Label on Google’s existing Wear OS devices.
What sets the Pixel Watch 3 apart is its support for Ultra-Wideband and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, a significant upgrade from its predecessors. Back in March, we learned that Google has been working on utilizing UWB to enhance the Watch Unlock feature with Pixel phones, promising a seamless user experience.
In a nod to modern connectivity standards, all four models of the Pixel Watch 3 offer support for Ultra-Wideband and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, a departure from the limited 2.4GHz capabilities of the previous generations. Additionally, half of the models boast LTE connectivity, while the others rely on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to keep you connected on the go.
The FCC filings for the GBDU9, GG3HH, GRY0E, and GGE4J models reveal testing across multiple bands and strap types, hinting at potential size variations. With past leaks hinting at band types prematurely, Google seems to be keeping the details under wraps for the Pixel Watch 3, leaving us eager for more updates as the event approaches.
As we eagerly await more updates on the Pixel Watch 3, stay tuned for the latest developments and insights on Google’s upcoming wearable. The future of smartwatches is looking brighter than ever!
