FCC Filings Show Four Google Watch Models With LTE, UWB and Satellite SOS

Regulatory documents point to an all‑cellular Pixel Watch lineup, a change that could shift pricing and carrier involvement if confirmed.

Overview

  • Federal Communications Commission records list four Google devices with model numbers G25QD, G1XJ6, G0F3Y and GFW3R that reporters and prior India filings identify as likely Pixel Watch 5 variants.
  • Each FCC entry lists LTE, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and ultra wideband (UWB) radios, and includes NTN Band 23 and Band 255 entries used for satellite SOS emergency messaging.
  • The filings show no clear Wi‑Fi‑only models, which departs from past Pixel Watch rollouts and raises the possibility Google plans only LTE‑enabled watches or a two‑tier approach such as a higher‑end ‘Pro’ model.
  • SAR test notes mention testing with multiple metal and non‑metal straps, providing form‑factor confirmation that the devices are wrist watches and that Google plans several strap options.
  • While FCC listings often precede product launches, past Pixel Watch timing has varied, so these certifications suggest an upcoming announcement but do not prove exact launch dates or final retail configurations.
