Everything we've heard so far about the Pixel Watch, the rumored Google smartwatch said to be coming later this year

For the first time since 2016, Qualcomm is set to release a new chip for Wear OS watches.

In an interview with Wareable last month, Qualcomm's senior director of wearables Pankaj Kedia said that Qualcomm will announce a new processor this fall. The new chipset will debut alongside a "lead smartwatch" — which could be a Pixel Watch — with other partners adding it by the holidays.

In an interview with CNET, Kedia said the new chipset will improve the Google Assistant experience and make it more visually appealing. Dennis Troper, the product director for Wear OS, told CNET that the Assistant will become more personalized and "proactive about information you may want to see," and will have improved fitness functions.

Qualcomm's Kedia told Wareable that the new chip will give Wear OS watches — and by extension, a Pixel Watch — a "significant" upgrade in battery life.

According to WinFuture.de, the Pixel watches will have built-in GPS and LTE support, and may also have heart-rate trackers and the ability to track your stress levels.

While it's not set in stone, the Pixel Watch will most likely make its debut this fall — the Google Pixel and the Google Pixel 2 were announced in October 2016 and 2017 respectively.
