tl;dr:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SoC, 4-core CPU clocked at 1.7 Ghz, Adreno 702 GPU, more power-efficient than the previous SoC (Exynos 9110);
  • Google is not using the W5+ variant, which adds the QCC5100 coprocessor, it will be using a custom coprocessor instead similar to 1st gen Pixel Watch;
  • NXP SR100T UWB module (https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-uwb-1151744/);
  • 306mAh battery (vs 294mAh in 1st gen);
  • Samsung Display instead of Pixel Watch’s BOE panel, specs remain the same;
  • Wear OS 4 (based on Android 13) and seamless updates (https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/ab);

Hopefully the massive bezel gets trimmed.

The original Pixel Watch was also criticized for its massive black bezels. Sadly, this situation is not changing this year

yeah guess not

And the crowd goes mild. Google shouldn't expect to compete with Galaxy Watch 6 and Apple Watch when they've figured out the bezel game.

It's the same bezel as the Galaxy Watch 5, the gw6 reduces the bezels 1 or 2mm tho
