What Does the Three Bluetooth Labels Mean?

Android Police speculates that the three bluetooth labels might represent multiple watch models (with slightly different features) or regional variations (such as cellular bands) of the same watch. But this speculation is yet to be seen.

However, if the watch will follow patterns set by Google's Pixel phones, it might likely indicate a regional variation.

Based on the registration, the supposed Pixel Watch software version number is RWD5.211104.001. This makes the gadget outdated, as the most recent version is RWD7. However, this is likely just for testing purposes, according to Android Police, as the consumer-ready device should launch with the latest software.
