Google's Mysterious Wearable Spotted Again in FCC Filing

Google's recent marketing materials for the Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel 11 series included an image of a mystery wearable device that resembled a mix of a fitness tracker and a smartwatch. This device was never identified, but a new clue has emerged with the FCC filing of a 'Wireless Device' from manufacturer Weifang Goertek Electronics Co.

The company behind this mysterious device is significant because it has worked with Google in the past, including producing the Fitbit Air (GW9C8). The newly filed device carries a Google-esque model number, G8BL6, and features some sort of screen to access regulatory information. When trying to access these details, users are directed to follow steps similar to those on a Wear OS device.

This suggests that the 'Wireless Device' likely has a screen and could run Wear OS, but it lacks WiFi capabilities. The presence of Bluetooth and GPS indicates that this device is designed for tracking activities or communicating with other devices. It's possible that this device is another Fitbit-branded product, such as the rumored smaller-screened model seen in Google's marketing materials.
