Customer Ratings & Reviews

With the side by side release of the Pixel 3 along with the Pixel 9, Google has made a strong bid to increase their market share in the highly competitive cell phone field. First and foremost, the new Actua display is stunning. The near bezel free design offers a generous screen, and it's crisp, clear, and more importantly, highly visible even in bright daylight. The Pixel 3 is loaded with functionality; duplicating near all phone functions on your wrist. Make a call with a few touches, both the speaker & microphone quality are excellent. Photo functions can be controlled remotely with updated camera app (only available with Pixel Phone). Nest & Google Home control are also included. The setup function was quick & easy. Press the crown for 5 seconds to turn on and fast pair initiates. Allow permissions on your phone and you're up & running. I initially thought I'd be overwhelmed with the functionality included in the P3, Google has done a great job designing the screen controls. Swiping up/down side to side brings you to clear menus. I found the navigation to be quite intuitive. The obvious draw for many will be the included Fitbit subscription.Build a custom run, get real time guidance. see progress on a dashboard (including map), post run analysis, cardio load, and a plethora of auxiliary functions, all personally customized. I found battery life to be quite good, for the first couple of days I used the "always on" screen mode; this can be modified with various battery save modes, including a wrist flick to turn on the screen. Battery charge time is 90 minutes from zero to full. I do use a charging stand for my phone, I would like to get one that includes a space for the watch as well. I see some on the market that claim they handle the P3, but given my experience with off brand charging equipment, I'd like to see Google offer an option other than the included magnetic USB C powered clip. If you're a Pixel owner, the P3 is an outstanding companion for your phone. Day by day, as I become familiar with all the included functions, I find myself handling my phone a lot less when much of it has become available with a flick of my wrist.

I do like the larger size of the Google pixel watch 3, but still doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade over the watch 2 version. Other than the 4 mm size increase for the pixel watch 3, The Google watches still feels like its missing something to me. My biggest complaint about the Pixel watches are the way there's no protection of the face or bezel, scares me to death I'm going to break the watch. I did purchase replacement bands on Amazon to get rid of a snap closure band and use a standard holeand eyelet style band, for a more secure fit to keep the watch on my wrist. Everything about the watch performs and works well whether it's step recording, activity tracking, sleep tracking, swimming and other physical activity recorded on the watch. The larger 45 mm face display definitely makes this easier to read, especially out in the sunlight the brighter display is slightly noticeable over the previous gen to watch and is better to read also. I wish Google would incorporate standard wireless charging with this watch, instead of the needed cable puck style magnetic charger which I absolutely can't stand. Battery life with the Google pixel 3 watch is standard at best I normally get about a little over a days use before needing charging, usually I charge it every day so I don't risk running out of battery. A larger battery which would add some weight to the watch would definitely be accepted by myself the watch has a very light feel to it, almost like you're wearing nothing at all. Pairing the watch to my new Google pixel 9 pro XL was very easy and painless it paired right away to the Pixel watch app as well as the Fitbit app. In my opinion this is a little nicer than the Google Pixel watch too since it has a larger display but I don't know if I consider it worthy of an upgrade over the watch 2. The watch crown button and dial are nice features that serve their purpose, I don't find myself bumping the dial as much as I thought I would when moving my left wrist while wearing the watch. I would recommend this watch if you don't already have the Pixel 2 version but if you have the two the only reason I would recommend the watch 3 is for the larger display size and slightly better brightness over the watch 2.

Had an apple 9 watch and loved it. Purchase a fold phone and purchased the pixel 3 watch which was a year old watch and absolutely love it. Looks great and the sports aspect of the watch is just what I needed.

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.

Works great, does everything he wanted and more. Battery life is fantastic and features are great.

I am very satisfied with the Pixel 3 watch! The step monitoring, my main use for the device, works great, the watch is comfortable, and it looks great as well! The one downside is the short battery life; for me, at least, I am forced to charge the watch at night which means I'm never able to use it to monitor my sleep. That said, I don't really need it to monitor my sleep so not a huge deal.

Works well for what i use it for and it syncs to fitbit. Only thing is i dont like silicone bands so i had to get a fabric one.

Superb product as far I used and I recommended to lot of my friends and they bought it . Amazing battery life and loved the screen clarity as well

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.

Upgraded to this from the smaller OG Pixel watch. Size difference isn't that noticable as far as fit goes but you can definitely tell it's an increase in screen real estate and battery life. Can easily last 48 hours depending on usage. Charges from 0-100% in less than an hour. Could have a better chip set in the watch but it's a major step in the right direction.

I have been pleasantly surprised with the Pixel Watch 3 45mm. The big screen is bright and easy to read, and the software is smooth and responsive. I can go 2 full days on a single battery charge, and it only takes about an hour to charge from almost empty. Also, the Pixel Watch 3 has been rated in the top of its class for its health and fitness tracking capabilities.

As a big fan of the Pixel line of phones, I think it’s time to give their smartwatch a try. It will be difficult to review since I have tried a certain South Korean competitor’s watch. Plus, I have liked the hardware design and form factor from them so I may have some bias. The Watch 3 sees a new welcome change in that it is no longer limited to one size. A 45mm watch allows for a bigger battery which will translate to longer usage time. However, at most I can get about 1.5 days of use before needing to do a short and quick charge to last the rest of the day. There may be ways to make it last for two whole days but I have yet to figure it out. The hardware design for the Watch 3 remains the same as the previous generation – featuring rounded edges throughout. But I found two drawbacks in keeping this design. First is that the watch bands are proprietary. And since the 45mm size is a new addition, finding compatible bands will be tricky at first. In all honesty, I do like the mechanism for replacing the bands. But because they are proprietary and non-standard, it limits what bands we can use. I felt that Google should have included an adapter so we can use common watch bands. It will definitely save us a lot of trouble in finding the right band that suits our aesthetic tastes. The second drawback is the rounded glass top. I always want to protect the screens of any device that is made of glass. And so due to how the glass top isn’t flat from edge to edge, it means there are no tempered glass screen protectors for the watch. And that’s a bit of a bummer. I have tried TPU film protectors before on other devices. And they felt terrible for me. Since then, I have never gone back. The software experience is very different from what I have used before. And it is taking some time to get used to that. Bringing up the app drawer is done using the crown button. Swiping up from the bottom shows the watch notification. And swiping in either left or right cycles through your tiles. With Fitbit integrated with the Watch 3, many health tracking features are tied with it. But it does not have to stay within it due to Google’s Health Connect that allows for health data to synchronize across different health app platforms. In addition to heart rate monitoring, there’s also ECG measurement to check for any abnormal heart rate. However, the methodology for that is not very intuitive. The on-screen prompt tells me to lightly touch the crown to begin its measurement but it never did anything. And I have tried repeatedly on and off during work hours to get this working. Only after I finally got home and had some spare time did I manage to get it to work. There needs to be a better way to do this process and I’m shocked that Google didn’t figure that out yet. Why not just turn it into a more hands-free approach with a countdown timer? Overall, I have mixed feelings about the Pixel Watch 3. The larger size is welcome but the hardware design of being so rounded and curved is a drawback to me. The proprietary watch band design means you’re spending extra just to get a band that either uses that connection design or an adapter for traditional bands. The integration of Fitbit means those who are already using that platform can easily start using the watch without much hassle. But how well the Watch 3 and Fitbit handle on non-Google phones is outside of what I can test on. Verdict: unless you’re a Fitbit user, pass The Good: Wear OS as envisioned by Google, tight Fitbit integration The Bad: ECG is cumbersome to figure out, proprietary band design, rounded glass top The Ugly: Fumbling to get the charger to correctly align with the watch

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.

Great watch for what i need. Has a very clean slick look to it as well.

Google really knocked this watch out of the park, honestly. Hard to find faults here, as it has everything you'd need: Bright screen, awesome battery life, lightning fast charging, insanely accurate and helpful health metrics, seamless pixel integration and a premium fit and look.

Very good watch! I liked the design a lot and the battery life was pretty good.

Finally a true Pixel Watch that I can use. I tried watch 1 and watch 2 but was not happy about the size and kept going back to my galaxy watch. This time they did it. The 45mm is an excellent size. I've been using the watch from 6:00 am to 8 or 9 pm and the battery is around 80%. I have the AOD off but have the tilt to wake and touch to wake on. I turned off the things I don't use and that's why I'm getting great battery life. If you use it with everything on still you get a very good battery life. Finally Google finally!!!!! 3rd time is the charm. Google Please!!! on the watch 4 give us just better chipset and better glass maybe sapphire glass if the competition can do it and still make money you guys can do it too. For the price we paying we should get better tech. Still very happy with the purchase don't regret it.

Pixel Watch 3 45mm smartwatch is the perfect match for your Pixel Phone however, it is also a great companion with other Android phones. I paired the Pixel Watch 3 with my Pixel 9 Pro XL and Samsung S24 Ultra. The box includes SmartWatch, charger, 3 wrist straps and setup guide. The setup was straightforward with both phones. Updating apps on your phone is necessary, and then you are prompted to update apps on the Pixel Watch. I had no issues installing apps on either phone. Very clear and crisp watch display. There are plenty of watch faces to choose. The sound quality of the calls from the phone are clear-the recipient of the phone call could not tell that I was speaking on the smartwatch. Like the Pixel 9Pro XL, this smartwatch is equipped with Emergency SOS and Fall Alert. If you happen to be somewhere without cell service Emergency SOS can be activated with Pixel Watch 3. Fall Alert activates if you happen to have a hard fall. Being a Senior, this is very important to me. A 6 month trial of Fitbit Premium is included with the Pixel Watch 3. It was simple to setup. I have the Fitbit app already installed on my phones which transfered to the Pixel during setup. When I opened the app I simply removed my Fitbit Inspire and replaced it with the Pixel Watch 3. All previous data was transfered. Fitbit Premium is AI generated, you can plan your daily workouts and get health information like sleep and stress scores or your heartrate. Fitbit Premium monitors my sleep and also informed me how many breaths that I missed. (sleep apnea) The phone battery last a little over 24hrs. Overall this watch has so many features that will work with any Android phone. Highly recommend.

As a long time FitBit user, I was torn about what to purchase next when my FitBit disintegrated after about 5 years of use lol! I tried a fitness ring and could not get used to the feel and it irritated my skin. Since I'm used to sleeping with something on my wrist, I thought I'd try a watch instead. So glad I settled on this one! It fits comfortably and does not irritate my skin. It provides all the features I love about Fitbit with the convenience of a smartwatch. I don't use the apps a lot but like that it is a handy way to text and check email if needed. It integrates well with several of my favorite health apps. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend!

this is my favorite watch. i bought a $2 pip boy (fall out 4) theme for it and ever since i have had so much fun wearing it and tracking my daily health and notifications.
