Pixel Watch 5 FCC Filing Reveals Four Models — Wi-Fi-Only Option May Be Dropped Entirely

Google's Pixel Watch 5 has cleared the FCC with four distinct model numbers — G25QD, G1XJ6, G0F3Y, and GFW3R — likely representing two sizes, each with LTE connectivity. The unusual detail: every model shows both Wi-Fi and cellular support, suggesting Google may eliminate the Wi-Fi-only SKU that has traditionally served as the budget entry point.

What the Four Models Mean

Previous Pixel Watch generations shipped in two sizes with Wi-Fi and LTE variants each (four total). This filing shows the same count, but all four list LTE. Two interpretations: Google is going all-LTE (with a price increase), or one pair represents a rumored "Pro" variant. Forbes and Android Authority independently confirmed the filing details.

Expected Features

• Processor: Possibly Google's first custom wearable Tensor chip
• Connectivity: NFC, UWB, and satellite SOS capabilities
• Battery: Larger capacity targeting multi-day life
• Launch: August 2026 announcement, October shipping

Should You Wait?

If the Wi-Fi-only variant disappears, the base price could jump from $349 to $399+. Buyers on a budget may want to grab the Pixel Watch 3 at $247 on Amazon before stock dries up. For those already considering LTE, waiting makes sense. See our smartwatch comparison guide and the Pixel Watch 5 prototype leak analysis.
