Overview

• Preorders began August 20, with retail availability set for October 9 at $350 for 41mm and $400 for 45mm models.
• A side-mounted charging stand uses exposed contacts for about 25% faster top-ups, targets 50% in 15 minutes, and shows an on-watch warning if misaligned or underpowered.
• Google prices the replacement dock at $30, with deliveries expected after the watch ships, and several new first-party bands such as Gradient Stretch and Woven listed at $60.
• Bands remain cross-generation, though size matters: 41mm bands fit 41mm watches and 45mm bands fit 45mm; case colors include Champagne Gold limited to 41mm and Satin Moonstone limited to 45mm.
• LTE variants support standalone satellite communication to geostationary satellites, while updated Fitbit and Gemini features add auto workout detection, more accurate sleep tracking, skin temperature sensing, and a replaceable battery and display improve repairability.
