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.

This is the Pixel watch I've been waiting for! Larger screen, the band is comfortable to even sleep with and the battery life on average gives me almost two days. I strongly recommend!

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.

Excellent watch for fitness. The fitness app and HR sensor is accurate and use mostly for runs. Coming from a galaxy watch 6 classic. My only issue is the durability. Had it for one month and already has a break in the glass even though I had a case on it! Battery life is already terrible, barely last a day. Miss the durability on my Galaxy watch 6 classic.

Absolutely love it! Battery charges fast and will last me about 2 days. The band doesn't allow much airflow so my wrist gets sweaty, I bought some bands for it that breath better and that solved the problem. I love the health tracking and alerts from my phone. The peace of mind it grants me knowing that if a health emergency happens it will automatically call for help is amazing. I'm a big guy so I got the 45mm.

Great battery life. The screen is large enough to get things done, but small enough to not be obnoxious. Charges to full in less than an hour. I always hated the idea of a smart watch, but the Google pixel watch definitely made me into a believer. It's subtle enough so people don't realize what it really is, that speaks volumes.

This is a really solid 4-star and nearly 5-star product. I come from a 5 year old Fossil/Michael Kors Android Wear watch, for reference. The Pixel Watch 3 is super snappy, fast, and its battery life this first week of ownership has been great in comparison to my old watches. Where my old watch was lucky to last from sun up to sundown, this Pixel Watch was sitting at 57% battery remaining after being worn from 8am one day to 8am the FOLLOWING day after wearing it for sleep tracking. Then I top off the battery in a half hour while I'm getting ready for the next day and it's good to go again. Where I'm knocking off a star are for things which others would consider to be "minor", in all reality. Firstly, I miss having three pushers (buttons) like my old watch had. I feel like an extra pusher to pull up a desired app would be excellent. Secondly, the bands are hard to swap out and aren't universal like my old watch. Thirdly, I wish the Pulse Oximeter (SpO2) sensor was available on-demand, and not just during sleep tracking. Overall, I'm loving this watch, but there's a few things that are keeping it from perfect.

This is it, third time's a charm.
Lovely watch, great battery that will take me through the day, fast charging, accurate results, no lagging.
And it's, in my opinion, the best looking Smart Watch out there.

Love this watch! It does have to be charged more often than my Fitbit, but it does so much more. Great to be able to get notifications from my ring cameras, some apps on my phone and of course text messages. One of the main reasons I bought it, is because I'm older and getting ready for a knee replacement. The ability if I fall for it to contact the person I chose and let them know is a peace of mind for me as we live in the country with limited neighbors. The only thing I wish Google to allow is notifications from my cgm monitor ( I guess the apple watch is the only one that does) but regardless this is a great product and worth the investment.

Pixel 3 45mm Watch - A Winner

Charged it up and it connected to my Pixel 8 watch easily, and then synced with my Fitbit account, replacing my Charge 8 Fitbit watch. I watched a quick video online to learn the basics, tweaked a few settings, and picked a watch face, and away I went. The battery is currently still at about 1/2 charge after a little over 24 hours now. Seems like a winner so far, no hiccups.

Great Price and real easy to set up. Tied into my Galaxy Note with no trouble at all! I was just recently diagnosed with a condition where my rest heartbeat is way too low. This watch makes it easy to monitor my heartrate as well as giving me daily reports of my highs and lows.

It's great! I love how it can track my sleep, and the battery life has been pretty good! I usually charge it while I'm getting ready in the morning or night, and that's enough to make it through to the next day!

Pretty much every thing I’d hoped for. Bought this for my boyfriend’s Bday & he was SUPER happy with this watch. He’s a tech boy & works as a web developer so he knows what is good. He does his research & has a Pixel phone so this just made his life much easier. I thought it was way too expensive but he thinks it was worth it & that’s all that matters. His Samsung watch was only 2 years old but super glitchy & died randomly & fast, So he was thrilled with the way this watch looked & performed in comparison. BTW, Ive read that this DOES NOT work with the iPhone. Do more research if you are looking at this product & use the IOS software. I’m an Apple girl but I have to say his watch is pretty sweet. It uses Fitbit which Google acquired & now has integrated into the Pixel Watch. I am a little jealous of his cool watch but I’m just glad he’s so happy with it..
Wow, Best Girlfriend Award goes to you, Faith33! We're excited that he's enjoying his thoughtful gift — we're sure the Pixel Watch 3 will only enhance his day. As far as being an Apple girl, they do say opposites attract. That said, we're always happy to add on to our Pixel fam. Happy belated birthday to your BF!

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.

I'm enjoying this product a lot would recommend. Step counter a bit off. It's great with heart rate and that's the main reason I got it. It also works well with Google pixel 8a.
I love the weather feature.

The Pixel watch 3 45mm has the most accurate heart rate monitor in the market. It's extremely comfortable to where you can wear it to sleep and not even know what's on the original band that it comes with is probably the best band out. To protect it, all you need to do is buy a Spigen caseology or ringke case and any of protectors none of them are glass because it has a curved screen. It pairs extremely well with any Android phone, but works the best with pixel phones. You don't get any different features if you have a pixel phone by the way it's always the same. I recommend it over the Galaxy watches for accuracy of heart rate monitor tracking. It's probably the best watch you can buy right now. I got rid of my Apple watch ultra 2 for this.

Great watch. Wasn't much of a smart watch person but this watch is definitely intuitive. Tom's of bands available for all your needs. The watch syncs great with android phones. Tons of app support and lets you control your phone right from your wrist.
