    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.

    Apple Watch alternative with decent battery life

    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'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.

    Google's best watch to date

    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.

    A Great Smartwatch and Fitness Tracker

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Battery life is much better compared to my previous Galaxy watch. It's lighter too. I also like how the band latches compared to the usual metal thing that somehow pokes you when you least expect it.

    I have worn mechanical watches for a long time and resisted smart watches. However, this watch has changed my mind. I have a Google Pixel phone and the watch and phone work seamlessly together. The ease of use and nice functions (i.e. fitbit, calendar, etc.) are great. The only critique is the watch band included. It's not very comfortable and doesn't breathe very well. I purchased another band which has made it very enjoyable to wear.

    After 4 weeks I am very pleased with this watch. The battery is long lasting. I can easily go 2-3 days before charging and I keep the display on the brightest setting. This connects and stays connected to my Pixel 6a phone perfectly. I had a Fitbit Versa 3 before this watch and connectivity was not consistent and problematic. I love all of the features on this watch. I bought an 'excellent' open-box product from Best Buy at a great price. I would gladly buy this watch again and strongly recommend it.

    I usually just use a health tracker smart watch. I was coming from Amazfit T-Rex 2 which did just fine. I always loved the design of the Pixel Watch so I finally decided to make the dive and purchase one. It's a great watch and well worth the price. I thought battery life would be an issue but it charges so quickly it's pretty much a non-issue. The band is one of the most comfortable I've worn and fits just right.Highly recommend it.

    Design The Pixel Watch 3 retains the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of its predecessor, featuring a circular design with a bright, vibrant AMOLED display. The watch is comfortable to wear and comes in various color options, catering to different styles. Performance Powered by a more efficient chipset, the Pixel Watch 3 delivers smooth performance with faster app loading times. Navigation through the interface feels fluid, and most users report no significant lag. Health and Fitness Features Google has expanded its health tracking capabilities, adding more advanced metrics like blood oxygen levels and improved sleep tracking. The integration with Fitbit's ecosystem enhances fitness tracking, making it a solid choice for health-conscious users. Battery Life Battery life has improved, with many users noting that it easily lasts a full day with regular use. Fast charging is also a plus, allowing for quick top-ups during the day. Software Running on Wear OS, the Pixel Watch 3 offers a clean and intuitive interface. It seamlessly integrates with Google services, including Assistant, Maps, and Calendar. Regular updates from Google are expected to keep the software fresh. Connectivity The watch features both Wi-Fi and cellular options, providing flexibility for users who want to stay connected without their phone. Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, making it easy to pair with other devices. Downsides Some users have pointed out that while the health features are robust, they can feel overwhelming for those new to fitness tracking. Additionally, while battery life is better, it still may not meet the needs of heavy users who track multiple activities throughout the day. Conclusion Overall, the Pixel Watch 3 is a strong contender in the smartwatch market, especially for those invested in the Google ecosystem. Its combination of design, performance, and health features make it an attractive option, though some may find it slightly complex if they’re new to smartwatch technology.

    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.
