    if wired charging has no any benefit one can “sell”, this is a downgrade.

      The advantage mentioned in the article is easier connection to the charger and slightly faster charging

        yes, but google itself claimed nothing. If it would really reduce heating and reduce energy needed to charge the watch - google would mentioned this - this is good for the environment.
        according to data I have seen charging speed improvement is formal like 65 min instead of 70 for 0 to 100% and same time from 0 to 50%

        I assume that the real reason either cost reduction or space for extra sensors.
