Google Pixel Watch 2 Teased With IP68 Dust- and Water-Resistance, Similar Design
Google has released a short teaser video for the upcoming Pixel Watch 2, revealing that the device will feature IP68 dust- and water-resistance. This is a significant upgrade over the original Pixel Watch, which did not have an IP rating.
The teaser video also shows that the Pixel Watch 2 will have a very similar design to the first model, with only some minor cosmetic changes to the crown.
In addition to the IP68 rating, the Pixel Watch 2 is rumored to feature a number of other upgrades, including a longer battery life, a faster processor, and new fitness tracking features. Google has not yet confirmed any of these rumors, but we can expect to learn more during the Made by Google event on October 4th.
Here are some possible reasons why Google is teasing the Pixel Watch 2 ahead of its official announcement:
- To generate buzz for the device and build anticipation for its release.
- To position the Pixel Watch 2 as a rival to the Apple Watch, which is expected to be announced at Apple’s event on September 7th.
- To give consumers a sneak peek of the device’s design and features, and hopefully encourage them to pre-order it on October 4th.
Overall, the Pixel Watch 2 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over the original model. With its IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating and rumored new features, it is likely to be a popular choice for consumers who are looking for a durable and feature-rich smartwatch.
