It may also come in two sizes, with the smaller size reportedly increasing from 41mm to 42mm, while the larger size remains 45mm.
The price is also rumored to increase, with the 42mm Wi-Fi-only version potentially starting at $399 in the US, a $50 rise from its predecessor. The 45mm LTE model is suggested to cost around $529. Features like repairability and limited satellite connectivity are expected to return, alongside potential AI enhancements through Wear OS 7 and a revamped Google Health app.
