Even leaker Kamila Wojciechowska had previously reported that the Pixel Watch 2 would be equipped with UWB support. Unfortunately, the new Google watch doesn\u2019t have this feature.\u00a0 Wojciechowska herself has dug into the Pixel Watch 2\u2019s source code and has discovered that a few of the early iterations of the smartwatch indeed had UWB support. But it was ultimately removed from the source code in June.&nbsp; I also leaked that the Pixel Watch 2 was getting UWB, which turned incorrect and guess what &#8211; it did also have it, at least on some revisions.

Locating tracker tags and other UWB-supported devices wouldn\u2019t have been an issue.\u00a0 The same wireless protocol is also the basis for the features like digital car keys. So, theoretically, a UWB-supported Pixel Watch 2 could have been used to unlock cars, too.&nbsp; Lastly, a UWB Pixel Watch 2 could theoretically transfer&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/google-pixel-watch-2-no-uwb-support\/\">Google Pixel Watch 2 doesn\u2019t have much-anticipated UWB support<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google just days ago launched its second-generation smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch 2, which was supposed to feature UWB (ultra-wideband) support, like the one we&#8217;ve seen in Apple&#8217;s AirTag.
