JAKARTA - Google's next-generation Smartwatch, most likely Pixel Watch 3, has appeared on the FCC list. The list reveals that this device offers UWB, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Bluetooth support, with two models also having LTE connectivity. The Pixel Watch 3 is expected to launch alongside the Pixel 9 series early next month.

Recently, four new devices with model numbers GBDU9, GRY0E, GG3HH, and GGE4J appeared in the FCC database under Google's ID FCC. Droid Life reports that this list refers to all devices as "Nirkable Devices" and includes information about supported connectivity options.

The four models have UWB, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ax (5GHz and 2,4GHz), NFC, and Bluetooth, but only two offer support for LTE GBDU9 and GRY0E.

Although the list does not explicitly confirm that the device is a variant of the Pixel Watch 3, previous leaks suggest that Google's next-generation Pixel Watch will come in two sizes (41mm and 45mm) and have UWB support.

9to5Google suggests that this FCC list is for the Pixel Watch 3 series, especially because the steps to access the e-label FCC match the existing Wear OS devices from Google. So, it makes sense to assume that this could be four variants in the upcoming Pixel Watch 3 series.

Leaked renders from the upcoming smartwatch also reveal that the watch design will not differ significantly, with round dials and crowns like previous Pixel Watch models. Smaller variants are expected to measure 41 x 41 x 12.3mm and have 1.2 inches of screens. The larger model, which may be marketed as Pixel Watch 3 XL, is reported to have 1.45 inches of panel and 45 x 45 x 12.89mm.

Information about Pixel Watch 3's internal hardware is still small so far, but the public hopes to learn more in the weeks leading up to launch event on August 13.
