TheGoogle Pixel Watch 2will be fully unveiled in New York on 4 October 2023, but you can get a glimpse at its sleek styling ahead of time, thanks to the 15-second “sneak peek”.
The teaser shows little actual detail, mainly just some of the design elements, but you can see at the beginning that the new device has “IP68” engraved on the rear. This is significant as the existingPixel Watchisn’t rated as waterproof, whereas it seems the follow-up will be.
The design is similar to before, although the bezel looks to be tweaked a little.
There will surely be some additions thanks to the latest version of Wear OS as well. While, it is expected to come with a selection of new watch faces to swap between.
Other than that, rumours state that the size of the face – 1.2-inches and 384 x 384 resolution – stays the same, as does the face diameter of 41mm. That should please those with existing Pixel Watch bands as they should still fit.

Other speculation suggests that the Watch 2 will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset and up to 2GB of RAM.
There will be a 306mAh battery inside, it is said, which should help it last a full day at least.
The way things are going though, that could well be revealed ahead of time too.
