Customer Ratings & Reviews

A few years ago, I owned the original Pixel watch and was disappointed due to three main problems, ALL of which have been corrected with thid Pixel Watch 3 (45mm!) First my main problem with the original watch was the horrible battery life. You were lucky if you got through much more than twelve hours without needing a charge. This model with a bigger battery, and more efficient Wear OS 5, even with setting the display “always on,” after 24 hours I still had a little over 50% battery which means I could miss a day and still be OK! Second, the old display wasn’t bright enough. If you were outside in bright sun, you could forget about using your watch. This new Pixel has a much brighter display, readable in total sunlight. Also, the watch’s smart ambient display when turned on gives you only the amount of light you need depending upon the conditions, so in the dark at bedtime, it’s just bright enough to read it and never blinds you. This also helps to save the battery. Third, the size of the new model. The old one was just too small for me, this one is just right, and the watch bezel is smaller than ever before, with much more real estate to show more of your text messages, etc. The Pixel watch 3 will also control your camera on a Pixel phone. Open the camera app on the watch and you can see your phone’s camera, zoom in and out, click the shutter button, and choose photo or video mode or set a timer for the camera. It worked great. I was a little disappointed though when I tried to use the watch to let me see the output of my Nest doorbell camera. Apparently, the older model Nest video doorbell I have is not compatible with the watch, nor is an older Nest camera I’m using. A newer model outdoor Nest camera I have DOES work fine with the watch. The watch comes complete with all the Fitbit features. If you’re a runner, this watch will give you every conceivable statistic on your workout and a few you’d never think of. The watch also has a Fitbit ECG feature, so you can check your cardio health whenever you like. It has a few safety features. If you set it up, it will do a safety check on you if it detects a car crash, or even a simple fall. If the watch notices that you don’t get up. It’ll try to get a response from you, and after a few tries if it doesn’t, it will call emergency services, giving your exact location. This feature can be turned on and off in your watch. Overall, I’m delighted with the new Pixel watch 3 (45mm.) It has every feature I can think of in a modern smartwatch, feels very light and comfortable on my wrist, and finally an excellent battery life. I’d say on the third try, Google has hit it out of the park with this watch.

The Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, and it delivers on all fronts. The larger 45mm display is a standout feature, offering 40% more screen real estate. This makes it easier to view information at a glance, whether you're tracking your workout, navigating with Maps, or simply checking the time. One of the most notable improvements of the Pixel Watch 3 is its battery life. With an always-on display, you can keep your screen on all day without worrying about running out of power. And with up to 36 hours of battery life in Battery Saver mode, you can extend your usage even further without compromising essential health, fitness, and safety features. Another exciting feature of the Pixel Watch 3 is its ability to control your Pixel Camera remotely. You can set up your shot, access different camera modes, and snap photos right from your watch. This is perfect for group photos or taking astrophotography shots of the night sky. The Pixel Watch 3 also boasts an enhanced Recorder app, which allows you to record music, thoughts, and more. Google AI then transcribes the audio to text, making it easy to search, edit, and share your recordings. Overall, the Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) is a feature-packed smartwatch that offers a premium experience. With its larger display, improved battery life, remote camera control, and enhanced Recorder app, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking for a top-of-the-line wearable.

Not really not interested I took it back they can do better

I’ve been wearing smartwatches since they came out years ago. I’ve worn products from Samsung, Fossil, Apple, and others. This, however, is my first Pixel. I’ve had watches with only BT/Wi-Fi and those with LTE. First, this is a nice-looking watch. So much so, I’ve had a number of people gush over it’s good looks and talk appraisingly about its style and clarity. My model is the Pixel Watch 3 (PW3), Matte Black, (45mm) Smartwatch with Obsidian Band - Wi-Fi. My smartphone is a Samsung S24U. I’ve been pleasantly surprised about how well the PW3 works on the S24U. Certain features, however, like Do Not Disturb are not integrated. Thus, turning Do Not Disturb on using the smartphone does not turn it on your watch or vice-versa. Upon receiving this watch, I gave it a good charge to ensure that it would have sufficient battery for the setup process and what I anticipated to be hours of playing afterwards. Before the charging process was completed, I installed the Pixel Watch App from the Play Store on my phone. The setup process requires both phone and watch, and it completed without any issues. I was curious about the battery on this watch. I decided to compare it against another manufacturers Android smartwatches. From a battery perspective, the older smartwatch will retain a full 100% charge after turning it off (after a full charge) when I go to bed, and then turning it on again the next morning. The PW3 was a bit different, retaining 97% charge between 10:30 at night and 6 in the morning. I’m not leaving my watch or phone plugged in all night, instead preferring to turn my devices off at night, or to simply remove them from their chargers as a long-term battery saving approach. Anyways, a 3% drop in battery is mostly insignificant from my perspective. I awoke at 6am this morning with the PW3 at 97% battery remaining. I ate breakfast, then headed over to the gym to use the treadmill. I had also installed the Fitbit app on my phone and watch, so I now use that to monitor my exercise goals. After completing my workout (which does not use GPS because, again, I'm using the treadmill) and doing some work around the house, the PW3 battery now sits at 91% at 10:30am. I love the watch face complications. While complications aren’t a new feature to smartwatches, the Pixel Developers team seemed to go to great lengths to make it as easy as possible. I’ve used complications on other manufacturers’ smartwatches and have often felt like they should change the term from “Complications” to “Just Shoot Me”. Not so with the PW3. I did take one phone call using the watch, and not once did I have any issue understanding the caller, nor the caller understanding me. Very nice! The PW3 has been very responsive. And lo and behold, it also supports Google Home and Assistant. I am a huge fan of Google Home and Assistant, so I couldn’t be happier. I can now use my PW3 to open and close my garage doors, unlock the front door’s smart lock, and everything from turning on/off lights, changing the temperature in my home, arming my security system, and more. So very sweet. Thus far, the Pixel Watch 3 has been extraordinarily competent in everything I’ve used it for. As such, I am giving it 5 stars.

As an avid Android fan I was always a little envious of the cohesive ecosystem that my Apple friends enjoyed. However - now with this latest refresh to the Pixel family I feel that we may have edged ahead in the race! The new Google Pixel Watch 3 is a fabulous companion and is jam packed with the latest tech. The build quality is excellent. It feels good on my wrist and is very attractive. Google paid attention to their user's feedback and nailed the details. The positive impression started with the unboxing. Google included two strap options to accommodate different sized wrists. I was apprehensive at first about the vinyl material as I have had other products that irritated my skin but so far the fastening mechanism and the smooth finish are proving to be very comfortable! The synchronization between the app and the watch has been rock solid. The number of options offered to customize your watch is amazing! Coordination between Google apps running on the phone and the watch is flawless. And the size and brightness of the display make reading and using the apps very easy regardless of lighting conditions. I assumed that the bright display and all of the running applications meant that battery life was going to be a problem but so far I'm experiencing impressive results! I simply engaged battery saving mode and turned off the "always on" mode for the watch face. It's not a problem since the simple act of turning my wrist turns the display back on again instantly. I have the haptic notifications turned on for a number of features and that doesn't seem to reduce battery life either. Integration with Fitbit makes this a rock-star sports and fitness tool. I have only scratched the surface of what this thing can do. However - one feature really caught my eye. I am an AI skeptic but the addition of AI to act as a workout coach looks VERY promising! It not only observes your physical behavior to help suggest workout parameters, it even extends that knowledge to help you formulate sufficient recovery time between workouts! There is so much more that this thing can do that I will be continuing to uncover features for some time. You owe it to yourself to give the Pixel Watch 3 a serious look!

After several false starts with smart watches, I begin using an Apple Watch two or three years ago, mostly for its fitness features. I found the notification features useful but many of the more advanced features somewhat impractical. Years ago I had bought and returned or gave away where or Samsung watches as well as Fitbits. I typically have an android phone as my secondary phone and recently have secured the excellent Google pixel nine pro. This new smart watch is an excellent match and has several features that are similar or significantly better than the Apple Watch Ultra which it is replacing. The size display and Weight are excellent. The Band is excellent. The interaction with the phone and watch apps is fairly intuitive, especially when compared to the alternative. The battery life is good and the charger is superior with some prongs in addition to the magnet holding it in place. My Apple Watch sometimes disconnect from the charger with minimal motion. They fit advanced features are included with a limited subscription and have several advanced features for runners as well as intuitive and well displayed cardio load, readiness and target information. Other features which support the google ecosystem, including nest, cam controls, improved home control ultra wide man unlocked and a very nice camera app are available. The integration with Spotify and major email apps is also excellent. Navigation including offline Google maps is excellent. Safety and medical features are also in seem to work well. I have paid for an LTE version for the last couple of years and have not found it very useful other than an occasional phone call when my phone was away even with good Bluetooth or LTE using the internal speaker on a smart watch much to be desired. Overall, I am glad that Google has finally produced a, attractive and useful smart watch.

Overall, it's a pretty good watch. In my experience, great quality. The design is fairly sleek, although perhaps a bit large. My wrists aren't particularly large, it's comfortable enough but looks a little large sometimes. The battery life is great, it'll last me two full days of usage before I need to charge it at all. I'm not a particularly heavy user and I don't have the always on display turned on, so ymmv. Phone call quality on the watch is just fine, nothing special but it's perfectly understandable and in my opinion not any worse than speakerphone. Unfortunately it's somewhat easy to scratch the face even if you're being relatively careful, I suppose it's somewhat unavoidable. The curved face does make it difficult if not impossible to protect the entirety of the face with a screen protector, unfortunately. The crown has a very nice feel to it, but if you're going to use it underwater be very careful about it - I took the watch in some water that wasn't particularly clean, some particles got between the crown and the case and now it doesn't rotate quite as freely - it got some scratches and now has a spot where it catches. Minor annoyance, but it reminds me every time I use the crown. Software-wise it's been great. Notifications pop up sometimes before my phone I swear. Oddly enough they'll sometimes stay there even though I've cleared them on my phone, so sometimes I'll need to go clear a notification I've already dealt with on my phone. Heart rate monitor is great, very effective and precise. Sleep monitoring and blood oxygen both work great. Stress management isn't quite what I would have liked, it just tells you when you've had a "response" about ten minutes after, and you have the option to record your mood. If you go into the fitbit app there's some more information there, but it's not quite as informative as I'd like.

Very much enjoying this watch! I really like that it came with a free 6 month trial of Fitbit Premium, which has already been a game changer. Between the step counter, exercise tracker, heartbeat and sleep tracking capabilities, convenient timers, ability to control your other devices, and solid battery life, I use my Pixel Watch 3 all day every day. I highly recommend this device!

I really like my Pixel watch 3 got the 45 mm. Battery goes for 3 days for me before i have to charge it. The health tracking sleep tracking is spot on and the watch itself looks very stylish imo very slick and sleek blends in well my wardrobe.

Beautiful watch with a good battery, with an amazing screen...

i really love it very easy to program it i had no trouble with it

The watch is great my wife absolutely loves it, it works great with the Google Pixel 9 pro Plus phone.

It was a birthday gift to my husband . He loved it so much. Battery life is amazing. Features and functions are amazing.Highly recommend must buy product.

Great watch for google pixel phone users. Really useful for work outs and daily steps. The band is soft and comfortable. Totally recommend this!

I purchased an open-box Pixel Watch 3, but unfortunately, I was unable to use it and had to return it because the device was locked with a PIN code. I did all of the different factory resets, but you can't work around the problem if there is a PIN code set on the device. Make sure you try to pair the watch to your phone before you leave the store, if it's an open-box purchase, as it will not work if there was a pin code already on the device.

Can't get it to pair with a pixel phone. Google can't figure it out either. Google or best buy have no answers. The only reason I bought it was because they were only Google products. Very disappointed.

As described it was in very good condition. But it wasn't reset properly so I couldn't pair it to my phone, thus earning a low score
