It looks like the new Google's Pixel 4 watch comes with yet another incompatible change in charging technology. This is a ridiculous situation. The original Pixel Watch used one type of wireless charging. Then the Pixel Watch 2 & 3 removed wireless charging and swapped to a different charging mechanism. And now the 4 has changed again. So three different charging cables in under three years.…

    No mention if it is waterproof so i bet it isn’t. Modular and waterproof are tough to achieve simultaneously.

    Edit: see below. It does not yet have a waterproof rating but is not currently submersible.

          My bad you are right I read too fast. They say this about the connector :

          UNA uses a standard USB-C cable, meaning less time searching when you occasionally need to charge your watch. Does this USB-C connector affect the waterproof rating? No, it doesn’t as the USB-C connector on the watch is IPX8 rated, meaning the internals of the watch are completely sealed from the outside of the connector.

          But I couldn’t find where they define their “waterproof rating”.
