Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This smartwatch is very useful, especially for staying informed about the weather, tracking my workouts, receiving notifications, and other great features.

This is actually the second pixel watch 3 that I've had. I really like it. I got the larger one because that's all they had left in store. I would like it if the band would fit better, but I also have small wrists. I know I could just order different bands for it which I may end up doing. The battery works pretty well on it. It usually lasts a few days before I need to charge it. The one that I previously had just stopped charging altogether so I'm hoping this one doesn't do that. Overall it's a great purchase.

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.

Excellent battery life, great screen and charges fast. It'd be great if school ID's could be added to it but that's more a Transact and Wear OS issue overall.

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

Pros - Battery life definitely 40-48 hrs. Screen Size definitely what i wanted now it compares with the other brands. WearOS on pixel definitely simple and easy to understand. Watch band size definitely bigger and hugs the wrist better. Cons - the speaker could be better .

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.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. This model is very elegant, works well with my phone.

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.

After loving my Samsung Gear for 7 yrs and having Samsung phones for over a decade, I decided to switch to a Pixel XL phone. The Gear started fine, and then began to have compatibility issues. While curious that it worked fine at the beginning, I went ahead and bought the watch for compatibility sake. It's a great watch, however, it doesn't appear to have the feature where it let's me know that I've gone off and left my phone like the Gear did. The Gear also appeared to have more watchface choices. All-in-all, this is a solid watch and I would definitely recommend 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.

Great battery back up, huge upgrade over my prior pixel watch 1. The resolution is very good, as are all the fitness tracking features. At $200 it's a steal.

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

Love the watch. Super easy to set up and use. It uses fit bit as it's health tracking which is awesome.

I originally was not going to upgrade from my Pixel Watch 2, but thanks to a generous trade-in offer and Best Buy Rewards, I decided to give it a whirl. So far, I'm happy I did. The biggest benefits so far are the much larger screen on the 45mm version and better battery life. You are still unlikely to get more than 1.5 days between charges, unless you turn off all of the features like the tilt to wake and always on display, but it is improved. Otherwise performance is just as good as the previous version. Some of the new integrated Fitbit features are nice and I'm appreciating being able to track my daily cardio load. Personally, I love the design/style. I think it looks so much better than the boxy look of other smart watches. I would definitely recommend looking into the PW3 for anyone in the market for a smart watch.

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.

Just a solid device. Good battery performance as well.

Great product, only drawbacks are that the watch face is exposed to damage without a case for it. I found one on Amazon based on another reviewer and it works great to protect the watch. Other issue is the battery life--I'm having to recharge it every 3rd day when not exercising for 1hr+ per day but if I exercise for 1hr+/day, it's almost every other day. It recharges from 10% to 100% in about 60 mins.
