    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Not only have rumors and leaks been gaining steam in recent weeks but FCC filings for the watch also arrived over the weekend.

    FCC filings generally happen shortly before the official launch and can sometimes reveal new information about a forthcoming product.

    Unfortunately, based on the filing, it doesn’t look like the rumored ultra wideband (UWB) will be a feature on the next-gen Pixel Watch.

    Google initially said there would be a metal mesh strap when it launched the Pixel Watch — you can actually see it in our hands-on video.

    We’re also expecting to see Wear OS 4 on the device, and Google will purportedly ditch Samsung’s Exynos W920 chip for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Plus platform.

    Altogether, these rumors make it appear that Google is improving overall health tracking and battery life — two of the main issues we had with the initial Pixel Watch at launch.
