Google has announced its “Made by Google 2024” event for August 13, breaking from its traditional October launch schedule.

FCC Certification Details

Four models believed to be variants of the Pixel Watch 3, have appeared on the FCC certification website.

These listings provide insights into potential new features and connectivity options.

The FCC listings show four models:

• GBDU9
• GRY0E
• GG3HH
• GGE4J

Two of these are thought to have LTE connectivity, while the other two are likely Wi-Fi/Bluetooth models.

Key Features Revealed

Ultra-Wideband (UWB): All four models seem to include UWB technology. This could enable features like unlocking compatible cars and enhanced NFC payments.

Wi-Fi Capabilities: The listings suggest both 5GHz and 2.5GHz Wi-Fi support, which is uncommon in smartwatches. LTE models may include 802.11ax, possibly indicating Wi-Fi 6 support.

LTE and Wi-Fi Models: GBDU9 and GRYoE are expected to be the LTE and Wi-Fi models with UWB support. GG3HH and GGE4J are likely Wi-Fi and Bluetooth models with 802.11ax Wi-Fi, UWB, and NFC.

The listings don’t clarify which models correspond to different sizes of the Pixel Watch 3.

Previous Leaks and Rumors

Last month, renders of the alleged Pixel Watch 3 surfaced online, giving a glimpse of its potential design.

There are rumors that the Pixel Watch 3 might use Samsung’s latest M14 OLED panel, which is said to be superior to the displays used in Samsung’s own Galaxy S24 series.

This panel is also rumored to be used in the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

While the Pixel 9 series is confirmed for the August event, the inclusion of the Pixel Watch 3 remains speculative.

However, the FCC listings suggest that its launch might not be far off.

If the leaked specifications are accurate, the Pixel Watch 3 could be positioning itself as a high-end smartwatch with advanced connectivity features.

The inclusion of UWB and potentially Wi-Fi 6 could set it apart in the competitive smartwatch market.
