Love this watch! Looks good last about 2 days. Quick charge to wear over night. I already have a titanium band that makes this already light watch stay light. Plus if you have a pixel it's the watch to buy. Screen is not as durable as the stainless apple watch though. I work construction and the apple watch definitely holds up better. 2 years with apple watch nothing. 2 months with this a a few superficial scratches. But overall it's a nice piece.

So my husband and I switched carriers and in that decided to go google with the Pixel Pro XL and Pixel watches. I will say, I love this watch! It fits more naturally, its super responsive, it is super light weight, frankly I think its perfect.

Love the battery life, larger screen and accuracy. I've been using fitbit / pixel products for years and this is the best by far.

Best WearOs Watch and rivals Apple Watch. Battery life is great 24-36 hr. Good fitness tracking and decent selection of apps. Only need to add a few more elegant watch faces that you can download for a few dollars. Look to amazon for some cool accessories and cover for elegant look. I also made my own band to wear my whoop device on underside as the watch band. I highly recommend.

Look, this watch is not like the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, of which i also own. This watch is for everyday you are not participating in rugged activities where the Galaxy Ukyra would win. This watch is for all those times you want an attractive watch, that fits in with the current Pixel design language. It's smooth, efficient and finally the right size for me. Its the exact size i always wished the previous generations offered. And man, does it look good, elegant and understated.

The quality of the watch is top tier. The face of the watch is durable, the software runs and operates as expected and last but not least the band of the watch is sleek and resilient.

Purchased of these and both came activation locked (required old Gmail account to be able to use the device). Best Buy refused to exchange the watches and gave me the run around for 2 weeks in store, over the phone, and email.

Hey there, Rrrr. Sorry to hear you’re having problems with the setting up of the Pixel Watch 3. A factory reset will help resolve multiple issues — here’s how to do so:
1. Press and hold both the crown and side button for approximately 20 seconds. A dark screen with a 'G' logo will display, or a colorful 'G' logo on Pixel Watch 3. If the watch is off, press the crown briefly to power it on. 2. Upon seeing the 'G' logo, simultaneously tap the upper-left and lower-right edges of the watch face to enter 'Fastboot' mode. 3. Navigate by pressing the side button next to the crown to scroll downwards. 4. Select 'Recovery mode' by highlighting it and pressing the crown. The display will show 'No command.' 5. Activate a debug screen by pressing and holding the crown while swiping up on the screen simultaneously. 6. Scroll down to 'Wipe data or factory reset.' 7. Initiate the reset by swiping right, which will also reset your PIN. 8. Once the data wipe is complete, highlight 'Reboot system now' and swipe right or press the crown to restart the watch.

First purchased this item as an open box. It didn't work because they didn't erase the memory and I still needed a PIN number from the previous owner to sync it to my phone. Geek Squad couldn't remedy the issue so I got a new version and it's been nice. Bigger screen, longer battery life and comfy fit.

Currently have owned this for about a month now and I can say that this is a huge upgrade from the original Pixel watch. I originally had the first pixel watch the minute it came out but was disappointed that they only offered it in a 41mm size which personally I dont have small or huge wrists but it looked small when I had the watch on. Now after using this I can say that the battery life is indeed 40% better than the original watch in my opinion. Ive gotten sometimes 2 days worth of battery life on this thing with GPS off but with it on have gotten about a day day and half. Overall the display is a lot nicer and brighter compared to the original pixel watch plus just having that bigger screen gives you more room to be able to see messages more clearly. I skipped the pixel watch 2 because at the time i didn't see the reason to upgrade due to the fact they were almost identical except that they added the bigger size on that model, so if you have the pixel watch 2 i would recommend to hold off in upgrading since you wont be really getting much difference with the pixel watch 2 and watch 3 (to each their own) but if you are coming from the OG pixel watch then I would definitely recommend the upgrade. There are a lot more differences than there are similarities between the 2. In my opinion its differently a huge improvement and heading in the right direction with the watch, hopefully in the future they will improve more and offer more premium watches.

I have enjoyed using the 45mm in comparison to the 41mm. With the size difference I am able to text better and the screen seems to be brighter. I have had a difficult time finding bands that are not plastic sport type that also works for small wrists. Googles bands are pretty expensive in my opinion for what is offered.
It works flawlessly with my pixel 9xl and all three Google buds on the market. The battery size is also a great improvement as well. I also have the nest cameras and doorbell which it shows great clear camera connection and view.

Enjoying this beautiful and sporty watch with impeccably smart apps to help in our daily lives. Too bad I couldn't wait for the satellite version coming soon October 2025. Glad I was able to receive a $20 credit online when the price fell same-day I picked it up recently. Hopefully, they can send an update to these watches when satellite is available....

Awesome battery life, better screen to body ratio allows for easier reading of text. Lte works good, speakers are decent for a watch. Only thing that sucks is needing me bands because of size change. Screen brightness is also a game changer for no longer being blinded at night time reading notifications.

My third smartwatch and by far the best. I'm deep in the Google ecosystem so the watch ties in well.Battery life is all day. Giving it 4 stars because I still wish it lssted longer. Larger size is a big plus.

I bought an open box item, and I have to say that I didn't see anything wrong with it, working fine like new. Holds the normal charge like the new items. What the ad says about the watch is what it does. Love it.

I love this watch for it's ease of use, simplicity, refined bezel, larger display, and perfected integration with the pixel family. Seriously improved battery life and s the stability. There are other watches that may be more appealing to other audiences so make sure to go and play with them first. Look up bands and accessories before committing to the idea that it looks too sporty. The Pixel bands and frames available can make this watch look incredibly professional, elegant, or sleek. I read it didn't support the previous custom watch faces anymore, but I wouldn't know. Me The watch faces and layouts are perfect for what I use my watch for. It's does a stellar job at complimenting my lifestyle and activities.
Great to hear from you, Reggie. It sounds like your new Pixel Watch is syncing perfectly with your lifestyle! We're happy you're a part of the Pixel family — it's clear you’re getting the most out of it!
