Google's Mysterious Wearable Spotted in Regulatory Filings
Google's mystery wearable has been spotted in regulatory filings with the FCC and Singapore IMDA. The device, codenamed G8BL6, appears to be a wrist-worn Android-based device that supports Bluetooth Low Energy and GNSS satellite positioning.
The lack of Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity in the currently available regulatory information raises questions about what Google is building. It's possible that this device could be designed for fitness tracking, given its limited connectivity options and the absence of a display description.
Google has not confirmed the nature of G8BL6, but it's speculated to be something between a basic tracker and a full Pixel Watch. The presence of satellite positioning and Bluetooth LE suggests that this device could offer location data without relying on a paired phone.
