The next Google Pixel Watch is strongly rumored to launch later this year alongside the Pixel 8 series, with tipped upgrades including a faster chip, longer battery life and improved wellness features. Now, new FCC filings that surfaced over the weekend suggest the Pixel Watch 2 could also introduce the metal mesh strap promised for its predecessor that never ended up materializing.
As first spotted by 9to5 Google, the filings refer to three models of the Pixel Watch 2: the G4TSL, GC3G8 and GD2WG. Companies submit these filings to the Federal Communications Commission's database for regulatory approval ahead of launch. G4TSL is likely the entry-level model with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Interestingly, the report reveals it's been tested with "four strap materials," which include: a plastic active strap, a metal mesh strap, a metal link strap and a metal slim strap.
