The Huge Leap Forward I Was Waiting For
As someone who upgraded from the Pixel Watch 2, I can confidently say the new Pixel Watch 3 is the device I've been waiting for. Google has listened to feedback and addressed the key shortcomings of the previous generations. Battery Life: The single biggest improvement is the battery. It's a night and day difference. I can now easily get through a full day of use with the always-on display active and a workout tracked plus a night of sleep tracking, and still have plenty of battery left in the morning. This is finally a true multi-day watch under normal usage. Performance & Display: The watch is noticeably faster and more fluid. Swiping through tiles, opening apps, and using Google Assistant are all incredibly snappy. The new, larger 45mm display is fantastic, offering more screen space with even smaller bezels, which makes everything easier to read and looks incredibly sleek. Ecosystem & Features: The integration with my Pixel 10 Pro XL is flawless. Notifications are seamless, controlling my music and Pixel Buds is easy, and the health and fitness tracking powered by Fitbit feels more accurate than ever. It's the ultimate companion to my phone. It feels very well-built, though it's too early for me to speak on its long-term scratch resistance. If you were on the fence before, the Pixel Watch 3 is a home run. It's a massive upgrade and a top-tier smartwatch.

Sick and Fresh
Great watch, a definite step up from the pixel watch 2. I highly recommend the 45 mm...the bigger screen is awesome and definitely is worth the few extra bucks. I recommend immediately getting a protector for it. Walking my dog I brushed against a brick wall and it's scratched. My fault lol. Don't be me. The battery life is incredible..even in 'always on' mode lasts over the quoted 24 hrs. Without that mode I had it last 2.5 days without charge. The one thing that I like about it the most is is that it's keeping me active as a 42-year-old male. I feel great. Great job to the people at Google. Great job to the best buy staff at 1014 Boardman Rd. Jackson, MI. They were very knowledgeable... Even thought they were out of stock and when the extra mile...used three people to make sure I walked out with one. That's above and beyond.

Great Smartwatch with Improved Battery & Fitness F
I've been using the Pixel Watch 3 for a while now, and it's a significant increase over earlier models. The battery life is far greater, particularly on the 45mm variant, which lasts well over a day even with the always-on display. The screen is brighter and has fewer bezels, making it appear sleek and modern. The fitness monitoring is fantastic, with advanced running stats, cardiac load analysis, and a useful AI training coach. Google Assistant runs efficiently, and its interface with my Pixel phone is easy. The main drawback is that the AI running coach feels a little rigid, and I wish it had dual-band GPS for more location accuracy.

Great smart watch opinion
Great smart watch overall. I'm combining it with a pixel phone and it's really seamless and amazing. A lot of fit stuff you can set up. So far no scratches, I use it at work (warehouse) but it's only been 3 weeks so take it with a grain of salt. Amazing battery life, at least 2 days with one charge.

Got a Google watch - very happy
I had been using a Samsung Active watch with my Pixel phone. I was a bit jealous of how well my wife's Apple watch and iPhone worked together. I got the Google watch to bring myself into the modern age. Setup was a breeze. I get all the notifications and reminders on the watch. I can answer my calls and, importantly, put my phone and watch in DND mode during meetings, etc. Another benefit is that the Google watch uses Fitbit for exercise tracking. This has been working very well and integrates better than Samsung integration with a 3rd party app to Google Fit. I am very happy with what I have learned so far on my watch. I'm sure there is much more I haven't discovered yet.
