Current implementation of Pixel Watch Unlock
However, there are a few caveats to consider. Currently, international regulations mandate that Ultra Wideband (UWB) be deactivated in specific locations. Because of this, Google is being proactive by including code that automatically disables the upgraded Watch Unlock feature when you’re in an unsupported region.Additionally, to take advantage of UWB Watch Unlock, both your phone and smartwatch need compatible hardware. While recent “Pro” models of Google Pixel phones have UWB, both generations of the Pixel Watch do not. This has led some to believe that the upcoming Pixel Watch 3, likely launching this fall, will almost certainly include ultra-wideband connectivity.
Of course, this has not been officially confirmed by Google. Even with the leaks we have seen so far, very little is known about the features that are expected to arrive with the Pixel Watch 3.
We have seen a recent leak claiming that the watch will be available in two sizes this time around, a standard 41 mm and a new 45 mm variant, along with the possibility that it will launch with Wear OS 5. Should these two leaks prove to be correct, paired with a faster and smoother Watch Unlock experience, the Pixel Watch 3 is looking like it will be a worthy competitor to its Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch counterparts.
