1. Display: Thinner bezels are on the wishlist, possibly leading to a larger and more immersive display experience.

2. Specs: The Snapdragon W5 SoC might remain, but there's a chance for a new Wear OS chipset or even Google's own custom offering.

3. Sensors: Innovative technology like gesture recognition sensors (patent suggests) could ditch buttons for touchless control.

4.Health and Fitness: Advanced workout tracking, deeper sleep analysis

5. Battery Life: A larger size for the rumored second variant could mean a bigger battery and improved longevity.
