    Ok here you go, my review of the Google Pixel watch 3!! I do like the size of the face and choices to change the view of it, especially changing the colors on it. I have the 41m this one is a little more dainty to me. I am liking that it is like a mini computer on my wrist, not sure if I want it all the time, so having the option to silence the notifications is great! So much computer not enough battery life to compensate, I have to charge just about every day. I don't really care for the way the band attaches to the face of the watch, it is not really user friendly...... I am giving only 4 starts because of the battery life.

    I switched from a Fitbit to this Google Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) less than a month ago, and I can't say enough about it! FITBIT INTEGRATION I love that Fitbit capabilities are still integrated into it, but I'm most excited about the extras that I didn't have before. SAFETY This smart watch has safety in mind with its Personal Safety options, which allow me to set Safety Checks when I go hiking, especially if I'm alone. It even has settings to contact emergency services if it detects a hard fall or if it does not detect my pulse when I'm wearing it. I'm in martial arts, so I have the hard fall detection turned off (LOL). But I turn it back on when I go hiking. There's also an "Emergency Sharing" feature that is quick to use in an emergency. BATTERY These nifty options do come at the cost of battery life. It does need to be charged every 1-2 days. It's WORTH it to have this level of functionality though in my opinion. CUSTOMIZATION I also have like a dozen of my uploaded pictures that rotate through on my screensaver. I like that. BEDTIME Unlike my old watch, this watch knows when I go to sleep so it's not pestering me with beeps! It automatically goes into bedtime mode! I LOVE this, because I was always forgetting to turn off bedtime mode when I woke up with my other watch. I highly recommend. I want to get one for my husband for his birthday! Hope this helps anyone interested.

    Love the look & design of the watch. I purchased some 3rd party bands that have been tricky to put on and take off, but no issue with the band it came with. Still learning all of the features. Battery life seems to be a bit shorter than expected. Haven't been able to wear at night sleeping due to low battery.

      We’re glad you're enjoying the look and feel of the Pixel Watch 3, AmyC! That being said, we hear your concern wanting more battery life. Here’s some tips to get more usage out of your watch:

      1. Shorten the screen timeout: Swipe down > tap Settings > Display > Screen timeout, and choose a shorter time, like 15 seconds. This means your watch goes to sleep more frequently when you're not using it.
      2. Turn off Tilt-to-wake feature: Swipe down > tap Settings > Gestures > turn off "Tilt-to-wake".
      3. Reduce the screen timeout period: Swipe down > tap Settings > Tap Display > turn off "Always-on Display".

    It is a good fitness tracker watch with multiple options to track and add tasks to a list. The ease of use is commendable. The best part is that the voice commands are recognized accurately, and changes made to the text are smooth. Messages can be clearly read, and that helps with MFA.

    Loving the watch! I picked this because I have a Google Pixel phone and wanted the ease of apps. Searches said I could not have Alexa on my phone but I was able to load it on, don't ask me how though. Google Assistance works well. Size was good for me I am a large person but small wrist and the 41mm works well. Google has a Help Community and I get all kinds of help.

    I have wanted to replace my Fitbit Sense for a little while. I liked the pixel watch when it first came out but it didn't initially have all of the features i was looking for. The pixel watch 3 is definately worth the wait. I have a small wrist and was worried about the size but i LOVE it! I made the right choice. Great software and looks very expensive.

    Outstanding For Fitness Enthusiasts

    The new Google Pixel Watch 3 is an excellent complement to Android phones. It is compatible with phones running the Android Operating System (version 10.0 or later). The watch sports an attractive muscular design that will especially appeal to fitness enthusiasts. It offers premium performance and a very robust current and future capability. I was very impressed by the form and function of this watch, and enthusiastically recommend it to Android phone users. The set up process is very straightforward. A Google account is required to pair and use the watch. To start the process, download the Pixel Watch App to your phone. The App will then walk you through the pairing and initialization process. Much like with a new phone, it is beneficial to take some time to explore the watch and customize it. There is a vast potential for customization of the watch and the watch Apps, so take some time to learn it and make it your own. Some features like Call Block require a Pixel branded phone. This watch offers extremely robust health and fitness capabilities. Fitbit is a prominently featured service, but other health and fitness Apps are available. This watch also has the capability of measuring biometrics as well as tracking sleep patterns. Depending on how you customize the display, health readings are available by simply glancing at your wrist. I was very impressed with the fitness tracking and training possibilities. The health options are the most comprehensive I have seen from a phone or a smartwatch to date. I was also suitably impressed by the watch display. The display is crisp, bright, and colorful. I had no trouble reading the display at any time, not even in direct sunlight. The high quality display is immediately noticeable. The touch screen is very responsive and easy to operate. It is capable of sending messages, but I do not use it that way. I use it to primarily get information and messages from my phone. Included in the box is standard size watch band as well as an extra large band to accommodate larger wrists. A proprietary magnetic charging cable is included. The phone is charged by plugging the cable into a USB-C charger, and then attaching the magnetic charger to the bottom of the phone. The watch is rated to last up to 24 hours per charge. I found this rating to be accurate, so overnight charging is not always required. However be sure to to bring the charging cable with you on trips from home, or else you will have no way to charge the watch. The Google Pixel Watch 3 is the most fully featured and capable smartwatch that I have ever used. It has done everything that I have expected of it, and even more. The exercise and training applications are especially capable and robust. It is an excellent choice for all Android users, but it is especially well suited for health and fitness minded individuals.

    Premium, Elegant with Amazing Features

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Google Pixel Watch 3 is the latest smartwatch offered by Google, it has been designed beautifully to be added to our daily digital life with ease. I am a triathlete so having this watch has been a great addition to my daily needs. Let me further explain while I try to keep it as short as possible: First, the Pixel 3 arrived with conscious packaging, most if not all was recyclable; it arrived with the band in two different sizes, the cable to charge the watch, easy to read instructions and the watch. Pixel 3 has a sleek, clean and elegant design. I got the 41mm size with Wi-Fi in matte black paired with the obsidian band. There is also the 45mm size as well as other colors to choose from. The watch is lightweight and very comfortable so I can wear it all day without any discomfort. And the watch has been made with durable construction that feels premium and strong. The Actua screen provides sharp and clear visuals and best of all it is a touch screen that it is easy to operate by swiping or soft touch to navigate in it and best of all it is responsive. The display can be on all the time or it can be on saver mode and these two options can give you different battery life, from 24 hours to 36 hours. The screen is bright so it can be even used as a flashlight, and I can have it as bright as I want, or I can have it on auto mode, so it will get brighter as it is needed. The setup was very easy, the Google Pixel 3 watch and the downloaded Application on my phone walked me from start to finish and it even answered some questions I had. The Fitbit integration offers comprehensive health and fitness tracking. This information includes heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and a lot of exercise modes. The health and fitness tracking feature provides valuable information about my daily activities and overall well-being. Being an active person, I do a lot of activities, so I like having the Pixel 3 watch to track all of them, including my workouts as well as my running, cycling and swimming. The swimming can be done due to its IP68 protection. And the Pixel 3 watch also encourages me to stay active, it lets me know when I have reached or exceeded a goal. I also like that it even includes 6 months of Fitbit premium at no cost. In the morning it gives me A Morning Brief that is informative and encouraging, it gives me a report of readiness, how well I slept, how my exercise is going, the weather as well as reminders. The watch with Google AI provides smart suggestions, reminders, and personalized insights; it even screens phone calls for me, making daily life much easier. This Pixel 3 connects via Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi and there is another option to go with, the 4G LTE allowing to be connected even without the phone nearby. It has a built-in microphone and speaker to take calls too. The Pixel Watch 3 performs not just well but fast due to its software Wear OS 5.0 and hardware Snapdragon W5 gen 1. And having the integration with Google services and apps it makes it easy to use while it is a versatile companion for both work and leisure. And speaking of apps, there are a lot of them that work well with the watch, from music, to my assistant, Google Home on Wear and many more. Overall, the Google Pixel Watch 3 (Model: GA05757-US) is a stylish, elegant and filled with tremendous features that excels in both design and functionality. The smart features, like controlling my TV or camera from my watch, see my Nest Cam feed, health tracking and Google Services it makes it a great choice to own.

    This watch is beautiful and seamless. However, I find that there are some limitations in which apps I can use on it and how long the battery lasts. It's a nice watch but I wish it had more capabilities. However you also have a lighter feel because of the smaller battery. The apps however could use some improvement. But the camera feature where you can see what your phone camera sees is nice when taking pictures from afar!

      Thanks for sharing with us, Ayla. While we’re glad you’re loving the design and some of the features on the Pixel Watch 3, we hear you on struggling with battery life — we’ve got some tips to help get more daily use out of your watch:

      1. Shorten the screen timeout: Swipe down > tap Settings > Display > Screen timeout, and choose a shorter time, like 15 seconds. This means your watch goes to sleep more frequently when you're not using it.
      2. Turn off Tilt-to-wake feature: Swipe down > tap Settings > Gestures > turn off "Tilt-to-wake".
      3. Reduce the screen timeout period: Swipe down > tap Settings > Tap Display > turn off "Always-on Display".

    I got my wife a pixel 8 pro last year and she loves it. Still a great phone, she wanted a watch but she didn’t want the last gen watch and we decided to wait for the new pixel watch 3. And glad we did because the pixel watch 3 not only pairs perfectly with the pixel phone It works very well and looks super nice at the same time. She opted for the smaller variant like most woman tend to do. She is about 5 foot tall and the 41mm fits her perfectly, tho Google now offers a larger version for men or woman who would like the bigger screen size. Display is super bright and clear @ up to 2k nits of brightness that auto dims when necessary. Battery life is great with medium use and brightness all the way up. Didn’t have to charge for 2+ days but just for testing, we charge our watches every night. Watch is great for swimming as well and will automatically protect itself when it detects the watch being submerged and will unlock when out of water as well. We swim a lot so that’s a great feature. All notifications show up as you expect and the watch like the pixel phone can assist you with spam calls as well. Kinda crazy how technology can do these types of things on a watch lol. My wife isn’t big into working out or training as she is a stay at home mom and we have 2 young children but we do go for walks and we work a manual labor job(cleaning business)together. She likes to track her steps, calories and definitely her sleep. The watch will give you accurate measurements of your activities and sleep. When she answers her phone with her watch, man I can hear her so clearly it’s amazing like she is on the phone. She usually has her hands full so this feature is great for her. We didn’t have any issues setting up the watch or updating anything. Even setting up Fitbit was simple and straightforward. There isn’t a pay wall anymore for the “premium” features which we all appreciate. Watch is comfortable but I will say that trying to get the bands on the watch was a bit of a pain. Not the end of the world but I had to watch a YT video just to learn how to get it on and I still couldn’t figure it out for like 10 min lol. Maybe it’s me of maybe the mechanism is over done. I’d say this watch is more so meant for folks that have pixel phones. I like to pair my phone to the watch so you know it’s going to work perfectly which this watch does. She is very happy and for the price it’s a fair deal for all the features you get. Just make sure to get a protective case for the watch imo. You don’t want to scratch it.

    Comfortable, Intuitive, And Good Battery Life

    I've been testing the Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) for the past week, and it's a significant upgrade from the original Pixel watch. While they look similar, the Pixel watch 3 offers a noticeable improved experience, with a comfortable design, intuitive interface, and better battery life. Package and Sizing: The package includes the watch, charging cable, and two bands: one for small and one for large wrists. The watch arrived disassembled, but the instructions made it easy to select the right size. While the smaller band fits comfortably, it feels a bit snug, while the larger one is perfect without being too loose. Simple Setup and Fitbit Basic Plan: Connecting the watch to my Pixel 9 XL was a breeze. My phone immediately recognized the device and guided me through the setup process step-by-step. There were a few data agreements to accept, and the watch offered a free six-month trial of Fitbit Premium. I opted not to subscribe, as the basic features are sufficient for my needs.The Fitbit Basic plan provides health insights, tracking daily steps, workouts, sleep, heart rate, cardio load, and more. It also offers workout recommendations and helps me track my fitness goals. While I'm using the basic plan, it meets my daily health tracking requirements. Hardware Assessment: The 41mm watch is comfortable and easy to see with just a glance. The touch interface is responsive, and the display is exceptionally bright and vibrant. The built-in speaker is loud, and the vibration is noticeable when the watch is in silent mode. Notifications are virtually instantaneous, and the font size is easy to read. The watch supports Google Pay, home controls, and Spotify playback without requiring my phone. It is also water-resistant, allowing me to wash dishes, cars, and even bathe my dog without any issues. This gives me confidence that sweat won't damage the device. The battery life is decent, lasting about a day and a half with standard daily use and always on display set to on. While this isn't the best battery life compared to other smartwatches that can last a week, it is sufficient for my needs. Recharging the watch takes about an hour, which fits well with my morning routine. With all that said, the Pixel watch 3 is a fantastic smartwatch that will not disappoint and It receives a strong recommendation from me..
