I originally was not going to upgrade from my Pixel Watch 2, but thanks to a generous trade-in offer and Best Buy Rewards, I decided to give it a whirl. So far, I'm happy I did. The biggest benefits so far are the much larger screen on the 45mm version and better battery life. You are still unlikely to get more than 1.5 days between charges, unless you turn off all of the features like the tilt to wake and always on display, but it is improved. Otherwise performance is just as good as the previous version. Some of the new integrated Fitbit features are nice and I'm appreciating being able to track my daily cardio load. Personally, I love the design/style. I think it looks so much better than the boxy look of other smart watches. I would definitely recommend looking into the PW3 for anyone in the market for a smart watch.

After my 3 days wearing the PW3 I'm absolutely in love. On my first full charging cycle I squeezed out exactly 36 hours. That was with AOD turned on, lift to wake, and pretty heavy amount of notifications and responding to texts with voice. The fit and feel of the watch is super great, almost completely unnoticeable compared to my old Galaxy Watch 4. The display is beautiful, but can be a bit fragile compared to other watches that use sapphire glass. The speaker could honestly use improvment for call audio, but I'm never going to use it for anything other than an alarm. And Wear OS feels smooth and snappy, the haptics, especially when rotating the crown feel so satisfying. Don't really use much of the exercise tracking, the continuous heart rate was pretty much spot on with my pulse reader. If you have an Android phone this is totally the watch to get.

I got the larger 44mm Pixel Watch 3 and its an awesome smart watch. I came from the Apple Warch series 9 44mm and i will say the circular design of the pixel is much more comfortable and aesthetic than the apple warch in my opinion. Teo things the apple warch does better are the screen to body ratio and the speaker system. The pixel watch has some chunky bezels but the software does a good job of hiding it to make it feel more interactive and less like a screen which is very nice. What is not nice however are the speakers. The pixel warch 3 has some pretty abysmal speakers, which isnt a problem if you dont take calls or just have the watch on vibrate all the time like me, but if you want a food speaker system on a smart warch dont go with the pixel warch, the apple watch and galaxy watch blow this out of the water in that aspect.

Where has this watch been my whole life? I've tried a few different watches and none of them have lived up like this one. I don't do. The hard job I used to my job is a lot lighter behind the desk and a lot of moving around, but this watch keeps up regardless. Sinks up perfectly to my pixel 8 Pro and when I get my pixel 10 Pro XL I expect it to perform just as well if not better. The accuracy seems amazing and whatever sensors in it that detects me moving as opposed to driving are much better than the cheapos I've had before this. If you got a pixel, this is the only answer if you have another Android and aren't crazy about the watch that " goes with it" be sure and make this to watch for you.

Coming from an Apple watch Ultra set a high bar for the Google Pixel Watch to match. Granted I am not a user who used the Apple Watch Ultra to its fullest extent. I mostly like the larger watch face and battery.
Google third iteration seems like it's best one. The battery is sufficient to last 1.5-2 days dependent on use.
It's accurate at workouts, tracking heart rate and overall exercise tracking. GPS walks seemed to track accurately.
I do have some concerns regarding the glass face as it wraps around the edges. I presume it may easily get damaged when brushing up against a door jam for example. I did order a protector to be proactive.
Overall its a nice watch. Time will tell (no pun intended).

I have owned this watch for a few weeks. My family got it for me. I like the watches features and looks. I have a lot of information at my finger tips. I have been tracking my sleep and I have learned some things. One thing is that the band on watch could be better when putting it on. I pops off the hook if I don't focus putting it on. Also Fitbit program does not allow you to track different exercises for weight training. It just has weight training. But over all the watch is great if you have a google pixel like I do. I recommend this watch

For the past several years I thought smart watches were just a gimmick and a waste of time.. however, once I strapped this thing on and began using it I realized the smartwatch world was the way to go. Then it came down to which watch I was going to choose. I don't like Samsung because they force you into their ecosystem and I've been in Google for the past 13 years so it was the obvious choice and the smart choice. This watch is absolutely fantastic coupled with the fact I am a Best buy rewards member so I received a $50 discount which made this watch unbeatable. Best buy is the only place I buy electronics because they honor everything that they sell they back everything that they sell and they stand by their rewards members. So if you're going to buy a pixel and I suggest you do so I'll pick it up from Best buy you can't go wrong.

I've had the pixel watch first generation for the past couple years as I skipped the pixel watch two. And I'm going to say this. This is the best upgrade Google has ever done to the pixel watch lineup. The increased size of this makes it so much more easier to see and manage everything on the watch. And not only that, but the battery life on this thing is amazing. The upgraded internals make everything feel Speedy and I feel more secure with this watch than ever before. if you are on the Android side of things and are wanting for a smartwatch that can handle everything that goes its way, this one is the way to go

This is a pretty good watch. It sinks perfectly with your pixel phone and even whatever Android phone you want to use with it. It gives you 6 months free of Fitbit the sensors all work perfectly. It counts your steps along with flights of stairs. It's got an extremely accurate heart rate reading. The screen gets bright and wonderful. Always on display is amazing. Really great colors. Everything runs fast and smoothly. I recommend it to anyone who has a pixel watch original and also anyone that has a Galaxy watch 5 or 6 if they want to swap over to the Google pixel watch. 3. And by the way, the battery lasts forever

This is an excellent watch. Google did really well with the Pixel Watch 3. Having Fitbit incorporated into the watch is great. The battery life is excellent. I love how quickly the watch changes which is less than 30 minutes for 100% charge. It has several face changes. User friendly. The watch band is very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this watch.

The bigger 45mm form factor is far better than it's predecessor. The charging speed and battery life are very good. The new fitbit features are great especially if you're a runner. The text on the screen for me is still too small and the bands that they come with are not very comfortable I wish Google gave you and option for which style band you prefer like Apple does. Overall great improvement over Pixel Watch 1 and 2. I wish the design were not so fragile looking you almost have to buy a protector like the ones offered by Spigen which work well to protect the screen from getting banged around. This is the Apple watch equivalent for Pixel phone owners.

The Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) is a beautiful device that easily lasts 24 to 36 hours. The health tracking has been phenomenal; each of my runs is logged with tons of information and excellent GPS mapping. The screen is bright and easy to read outside in direct sunlight, and I’ve received lots of compliments on it. I just hope I can keep it free from scratches and nicks. The screen is prone to catching on doorways, tables, and brick walls, so I feel I need to be aware of my surroundings and hold my hand close to my side when turning corners.

The pixel watch is basically a fancy fitbit. I doesn't have the best watch faces either and downloading new ones is odd because of the fact Samsung watches are more popular, so I alot of the watch faces only work on Samsung watches.
We that said I love this watch because it's basic and simple to use. It's extremely lightweight and it's not thick and chunky like the large Samsung Ultra or Apple watch ultra.
Battery life is easy 3 days. The charge speed is amazing. It will charge from about 10% to 100% in about 30 minutes. I charge mine while seating at my desk and when I'm ready to move to the next task it's ready to go.
I sleep with it also. Not a huge fan of the sleep tracking. Definitely needs some updates in the department.

I prefer this watch to the Galaxy watch 7 given that it works seamlessly with the pixel phones and you don't have any extra bloatware from Samsung. I also think that the size is a great upgrade from the 41 mm of the pixel watch 2. However, if the pixel Watch 2 size works for you then I'm not sure if it's necessary to upgrade in terms of performance. The battery life is phenomenal on par with my Apple watch ultra. I find the OS easier to use than Apple's offerings. Overall, I think it's a great pickup, especially if you have a trade-in.

Its nice that Google finally released a Pixel watch with a larger screen size. Since I just switched from an iPhone and Apple Watch, my experiences are going to be based around that. It feels like it is a lot thicker than the Apple Watch Series 8 that I traded in but that could be visual trickery due to the round vs square shape. My only complaint so far is some of the behaviors compared to Apple Watch. Notifications and action buttons are reversed in their swiping directions. Battery life seems to be comparable to Apple Watch if not a little bit better.

Very good product. Useful for people who want to keep an eye on their health with the Fitbit app and useful in my job as a CNA. Very lightweight and easy to take on and off, charges fast and has a long battery life

Coming from a Pixel Watch 2, I can't find anything wrong with it. The larger and brighter screen can be read without issue in bright sunlight. The battery is the biggest improvement, averaging about 30 hours on a full charge with the always-on display enabled. I don't often answer calls on my watch, but on the PW2 I frequently got comments that I sounded garbled, the audio quality is substantially improved with the PW3.
