Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll have to admit, I've not been much of a fan of smart watches because I don't want to have to charge them every single day and there's very few that run for even a week without needing a charge much sooner. This isn't a review about battery life but rather one about a watch that has become such a necessity that I stopped caring. Packaging: Fairly straightforward packaging, long narrow box with the watch, some literature and the charger. Nothing groundbreaking here but still well done. Setup: I have an android device so setting up the pixel watch was about as straightforward as can be, you hold it near the phone and it's detected and enters setup. Something I did find interesting is that this watch is paired with Fitbit, I hadn't realized that Google bought Fitbit in 2021 so now one of the best fitness trackers is integrated into one of the best smart watches. Styling: I really dig this new screen to watchband layout, this smooth transition is rather nice, and I appreciate that Google has chosen to not go with the square design that everyone seems to be copying from their biggest competitor. The screen itself is responsive and bright and looks amazing. Use: I've tried some Google wear watches in the past and found the experience to be less than wonderful in most cases. That's not the case here, the watch is fast, responsive, bright. Using and switching between apps is quick, there's not much to complain about here. I've always loved custom watch faces and have used them on previous smart watches to great effect, so to have that option here is very welcome, so that the information *I* need is displayed rather than just what someone else determines is best for me. The GPS is accurate and easy to read. Really everything is great about the watch with the exception of the battery life. With heavy usage it's about a day, maybe a little more. I have gotten into a routine of plugging it in at night, but it'll annoy me when I forget to do it. Overall: It's got all the apps from both Google and Fitbit that you could hope for in both a smart watch and a fitness watch. The style is great, the performance is great. If you can deal with the battery life then all in all it's a really good watch. I do recommend it and most people realize that they are getting into a daily charging situation when it comes to a watch like this so it's difficult to mark it down for that.

The Pixel Watch 3 is a very good smartwatch, packed with a wide range of features that makes it a joy to use. The only real downfall here is that I wish I'd gone for the larger variant. I've had a number of smartwatches over the years, primarily in the WearOS ecosystem. The Pixel Watch 3 is the first one that feels like a truly coherent and complete package. The UI is well thought out, and the crown dial is a phenomenally effective user interface that helps with traversing the various menus on the device. Performance, similarly, feels very good here; reasonable responsiveness and fluidity with not much in the way of lag. Overall, whatever they've done with seemingly limited horsepower has worked, as everything works very well here. Included with the Pixel Watch 3 is a plethora of health features powered by Fitbit. The Fitbit app provides a cohesive and centralized location for all the watch's various health tracking statistics, from sleep quality to physical readiness and workout results. After wearing the watch for a few nights, a couple of additional heatlh statistics were unlocked; namely, recovery and readiness metrics. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what goes into these, or how Google/Fitbit calculates them, but they give some easy to understand information on how your body is doing and whether you're primed for a workout or not. Additionally, the app provides a number of sleep related metrics; sleep quality, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and skin temp. These stats all give me a comprehensive look into how well I'm sleeping at night to degree I haven't previously had. Finally, the built in ECG function deserves a mention here, as well. By initiating the ECG app and touching an opposing finger to the side of the crown, you get a 30 second ECG rating that, as with the other metrics, helps to give you a view into your health that you wouldn't normally have, helping to alert to potential health issues. Overall, I've been quite surprised, pleasantly so, at just how much health tracking they've crammed into this watch. At this point, I have a few negative points about the watch that I'll discuss. First, as mentioned previously, this size just isn't quite right for me personally (being a male with average to above average wrists). Really, this isn't a negative as Google has given users more options this time, but I'd recommend going for the larger size if you have large wrists. Additionally, battery life is held back by the smaller package. While it does get a full day of battery life, that feels a bit pedestrian when the larger model gets upwards of double that. The larger size and better battery life would be huge positives. Finally, I've found that the face glass is prone to scratching more than I'd have expected. After a week or two of usage, I actually have a few hairline scratches in the device, which has me concerned for the long term viability and durability of the screen. Given the rounded bevels on the screen, screen protectors aren't really a great option either. Overall, the Pixel Watch 3 feels like a foundational device that gives me virtually everything I want in a smartwatch. App selection is solid, health tracking features are awesome, and sleep monitoring/tracking work well. If you're in the market for a watch and have an Android phone, the Pixel Watch 3 is a great option. Just make sure you consider which size is right for you.

Easy to set up and use. Lots of options. Excellent accessory to compliment the Google Pixel phone.

good watch. performance is good.no issue so far. sync to pixel is seemless.

Everything works just as expected. I ordered it online for pick up, and it was ready really fast.

Compliments my phone wonderfully and I'm glad I can add as many alarms as I'd like. I'm also happy you can customize the watch faces.

I bought the pixel watch 3/41mm a months ago,it fit well I like it ,but battery round out to fast .

While the additional apps and functionality of the Pixel Watch 3 are great, the fact it cannot track steps while using a walker while a Fitbit Versa 3 can is absurd. Maybe one day this will work for tracking steps while walking with a walker, but unfortunately, today is not that day.
