    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.

    Excellent EDC smart watch for fitness tracking

    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.

    Open Box Purchase Be Aware

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Wont sync with a Google pixel

    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.

      Hey there, LandonK. Sorry to hear you’re having problems with setting up the Pixel Watch 3. A factory reset will help resolve multiple issues — here’s how to do so:

      1. Press and hold both the crown and side button for approximately 20 seconds. A dark screen with a 'G' logo will display, or a colorful 'G' logo on Pixel Watch 3. If the watch is off, press the crown briefly to power it on.
      2. Upon seeing the 'G' logo, simultaneously tap the upper-left and lower-right edges of the watch face to enter 'Fastboot' mode.
      3. Navigate by pressing the side button next to the crown to scroll downwards.
      4. Select 'Recovery mode' by highlighting it and pressing the crown. The display will show 'No command.'
      5. Activate a debug screen by pressing and holding the crown while swiping up on the screen simultaneously.
      6. Scroll down to 'Wipe data or factory reset.'
      7. Initiate the reset by swiping right, which will also reset your PIN.
      8. Once the data wipe is complete, highlight 'Reboot system now' and swipe right or press the crown to restart the watch.

    Make sure it's properly reset

    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
