This is a really solid 4-star and nearly 5-star product. I come from a 5 year old Fossil/Michael Kors Android Wear watch, for reference. The Pixel Watch 3 is super snappy, fast, and its battery life this first week of ownership has been great in comparison to my old watches. Where my old watch was lucky to last from sun up to sundown, this Pixel Watch was sitting at 57% battery remaining after being worn from 8am one day to 8am the FOLLOWING day after wearing it for sleep tracking. Then I top off the battery in a half hour while I'm getting ready for the next day and it's good to go again. Where I'm knocking off a star are for things which others would consider to be "minor", in all reality. Firstly, I miss having three pushers (buttons) like my old watch had. I feel like an extra pusher to pull up a desired app would be excellent. Secondly, the bands are hard to swap out and aren't universal like my old watch. Thirdly, I wish the Pulse Oximeter (SpO2) sensor was available on-demand, and not just during sleep tracking. Overall, I'm loving this watch, but there's a few things that are keeping it from perfect.

I'm enjoying this product a lot would recommend. Step counter a bit off. It's great with heart rate and that's the main reason I got it. It also works well with Google pixel 8a.
I love the weather feature.

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).

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.

Excellent device, tracking accuracy while workouts (running or any cardio) is great!. Highly recommended. Get the larger 45mm, its the perfect size even for smaller wrist. Battery life is nice stays for 2+ days and the device is much lighter and comfortable to wear compared to the competition

Great smart watch and easy to read. Nice functions, easy setup. Hate the band, nickel piece next to skin causing allergic reactions and to put the end of the strap under itself is not good for older crepe skin. Was disappointed with the emergency features vs.apple watch.

I had the 1st pixel watch and the battery life was horrible. The pixel watch 3 is a much needed upgrade on battery life and in my opinion size. I really like the 45mm much better and battery I charge every other day instead of twice a day!

First time going back to a pixel watch from Apple. Getting the 45 is definitely worth. It has great battery life. Can't speak for durability but I will say get the insurance because there is no repairability

This is my first smart watch and I am impressed. The watch faces are top notch. Pairs easy with Pixel phones and the display gets pretty bright. I got the 45mm size for the battery and for me it lasts around 2 days. Love the new wear OS, and the feedback from the crown. Overall, google got most things right with the 3rd generation.

Beautiful but barebone features

Been using it since August 23 2024 and so far it has been a good watch not the best. Battery life is a huge improvement over the pw1/2 where I can finally use it all day but lacks the battery compared to Galaxy watches. Syncing an alarm requires a pixel phone that restricts me to only my pixel 9 pro when it isn't my main phone, setting up a sleep mode to turn off the screen while sleeping as well required a pixel phone, on my Galaxy watch I can set up time routine without relying on a Samsung phone. Besides the barebone feel of the OS aesthetics it is the most beautiful current smart watch.

Hey there, Luis. We’re happy you’re impressed with the design of the Pixel Watch 3. That said, we hear your concerns on exclusive features. While there are a few features that pair best with a Pixel phone, the Pixel Watch 3 has quite a few features, such as: Contactless payments, Car Crash Detection, and many others. Here’s a link with more information: https://support.google.com/googlepixelwatch/?hl=en-GB&sjid=15720442846595758209-NC#topic=12652267

This watch is a big overhaul coming from the original pixel watch. With a bigger display and better battery life, it is an excellent choice for those with an android phone. I picked the pixel watch over the Samsung watch simply because it looked better. The 45 mm is definitely the way to go!

Overall, this is a pretty nice watch. I would give it 5 stars,
but, for me there is a major flaw. I can not use my previous watch faces that I've used with previous watches. I can only use the pre-installed and those in the Google store that are basically all the same. Watchmaker, pujie, facer etc are all not accessible with these programs. If I hadn't traded in my watches, I would have returned this and my galaxy 7 watch and this one. Lesson learned

This watch was super smooth in the user interface. It's everything i think Android wear is supposed to be. And i love the new bigger size. I definitely recommend if you're considering it.
