Google Certifies G8BL6 Wearable With FCC, Adding GPS and Android

2 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Sep 11

Summary

  • G8BL6 has surfaced in FCC filings as a new Google wearable, marking the clearest official sign yet that the previously teased device is nearing launch.
  • FCC details show the wearable runs Android and supports Bluetooth Low Energy plus GNSS, indicating on-device GPS rather than phone-tethered location tracking.
  • A metal frame listed in the certification matches the device seen in August Pixel 11 adverts, which placed it beside the Pixel Watch 5 in Olive and Fog finishes.
  • Google still has not named the product, and the filing gives no branding, leaving open whether it ships under the Pixel line or Fitbit.
