According to Android Police, the Google News Telegram channel curator, Nail Sadykov, stumbled upon a nugget in the latest Pixel Watch app. There’s a flag in there that, when enabled, lets your phone know when your paired watch hits a full 100% charge.
Pixel Watch companion app v2.1.0 prepares a new full battery notification feature.
When your watch reaches 100% charge the companion app will send you a notification that the watch is fully charged.
The feature is currently hidden behind a server-side flag. pic.twitter.com/1qvDsg4RT5

With the Pixel Watch 2‘s look, Google didn’t venture far from the first-gen Pixel Watch‘s style. But hey, that’s cool because the Pixel Watch was, and still is, a good looker with a sleek and simple design.
The only big difference is that while the original was all about stainless steel, the Watch 2 rocks an aluminum case. Aluminum isn’t as strong, but it’s lighter. The Pixel Watch 2 sheds 10% of the weight from its predecessor.
However, looking ahead, a new patent hints at a significant design overhaul for the Pixel Watch 3, potentially introducing a fresh look and feel to the upcoming generation.
