A teardown of the Play Services app suggests that the Pixel Watch series might gain UWB-based Watch Unlock capabilities.
Current Pixel Watch models don’t have UWB, though, which means this might be restricted to the Pixel Watch 3.
The Pixel Watch series offers Watch Unlock functionality, allowing your Bluetooth-toting phone to unlock your wearable. It seems like Google will upgrade this feature when the Pixel Watch 3 comes out.
9to5Google dug into a recent version of the Play Services app and found references to “UWB ranging” for Watch Unlock. The outlet also found a few references to UWB-based Watch Unlock not working in countries that don’t allow the connectivity protocol.
