    Google's Pixel Watch 2 may soon offer vibration-based time telling

    What's the story

    Google's Pixel Watch 2 is set to introduce a unique feature that will allow users to tell time through vibrations.

    By simply tapping the watch face with two fingers, users will be able to receive the current time as a series of vibrations.

    This innovative feature will aim to provide a discreet way to check the time and assist those with visual impairments.

    Facilities

    Two vibrating time readouts and settings

    Two vibrating time readout options will be available on the Pixel Watch 2: Digits and Terse.

    In Digits mode, a long vibration will represent 10, while a short vibration shall signify one.

    Terse mode will round the time to the nearest quarter hour, with each 15-minute increment represented by a short vibration.

    Users will also be able to customize their experience with a "Vibration speed" setting, such as Medium.

    Availability

    Where to find the feature?

    The "Vibration watch" feature has been spotted on a Pixel Watch 2 under Settings app > Vibrations, but it appears to be a test not yet accessible to most users.

    This is similar to how some users have Dynamic Color theming.

    Apple Watch already offers a comparable feature called "Taptic Time," which supports Morse Code readouts.

    The "Vibration watch" feature might be available for Pixel Watch 2 users, in the next Pixel Feature Drop.
