Highlighted in the preview are two notable additions: UWB (Ultra-Wideband) and Bluetooth LE Audio. UWB, previously discussed in reports, could enable secure phone unlocking and precise location tracking between the watch and paired phone, contingent on UWB support in the phone.

Meanwhile, Bluetooth LE Audio represents a significant advancement seldom seen in smartwatches. Anticipated to debut with the Pixel Watch 3, this protocol conserves battery while enabling audio streaming to connected headphones. Optimized for IoT devices, it’s crucial for maintaining efficiency in wearables with limited battery capacity.

Although smartwatches have yet to integrate Bluetooth LE Audio, its capability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously promises to enhance the user experience, particularly for music enthusiasts on the move.

As we anticipate these advancements in smartwatch technology, the availability of Bluetooth LE Audio-enabled headphones signals broader device compatibility in the near future.
