While Google confirmed the launch of its much-anticipated Pixel Watch at its recent I/O 2022, the tech giant did not reveal the specs of the smartwatch at the event. As a result, we've seen several reports speculating about the insides of the upcoming smartwatch from Google. Now, a new detail regarding the Pixel Watch has surfaced, confirming USB-C charging support for the Google Watch. Check out the details below.

A recent report by 9to5Google, citing official FCC filings from Google, suggests that the Pixel Watch will come with a USB-C-based magnetic charging adapter in the box. The report mentions that the FCC filings surfaced on May 11, the same day Google held its I/O 2022 event, and revealed that the Pixel Watch will come in both Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi + LTE models.

An additional FCC ID (G943M) for the Pixel Watch also revealed that Compal Electronics will be responsible for manufacturing the charging unit for the smartwatch. For those who don't know, it is one of the manufacturers of the Apple Watch. According to the report, the charging adapter would be a regular magnetic puck. However, it is said to be backed by a USB-C cable.

This should come as a welcome change to users and Google may well use it as a key marketing feature for the Pixel Watch at launch. In contrast, other smartwatches such as Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 or Fitbit's Sense and Versa 3 come with a USB-A supported charging device. The report also suggests that Pixel 5 or higher users should be able to charge the Pixel Watch with battery sharing as well as directly via the smartphone's USB-C port.
