Google is set to reveal more details about the Pixel Watch later this year. In the meantime, leaks and rumors have given us an idea of what to expect from the device. According to 9to5Google, the watch will come with a USB-C charging cable, manufactured by Taiwan's Compal Electronics, which also makes Apple smartwatches. This suggests that the watch will be able to reverse-charge other devices, like the Pixel 5 smartphone. Other features of the watch include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as LTE support on some models. The watch is powered by a four-year-old Samsung Exynos 9110 chip, but rumors say that it will be accompanied by a co-processor and will also offer more RAM and storage than any other Wear OS watch.

Three models (GQF4C, GBZ4S, and GWT9R) that got approval from Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) earlier. The GQF4C will offer only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, while GBZ4S and GWT9R also support cellular LTE connectivity. According to earlier reports, the Pixel Watch will feature a 300mAh battery. It will run new version of Wear OS 3 with a refreshed interface and will have some Fitbit features. It's an Android-only smartwatch, meaning it will not work with the iPhone. Google has said that it will be a premium-priced product but the specifics are not known. More details will be revealed this autumn alongside the Pixel 7.
