If you’ve been waiting for the new Google Pixel Watch 3, there’s good news: you can now pre-order it and save a lot.
According to our Technology expertsThe Model offers some truly impressive improvements, starting with AI-powered features that make it easier to make calls, text, stay healthy, call for help in an emergency, and more. You can even save time on everyday tasks, from scheduling appointments to navigation.
Is the Google Pixel Watch 3 worth it?
The Google Pixel Watch 3 is now available in two sizes – 41 millimeters and 45 millimeters – and four color combinations. The smaller version offers 10% more screen space than the Pixel Watch 2, while the larger option offers 40% more screen space for displaying custom watch faces and personalized information.
And like the previous Pixel smartwatches, this one has all the functions and features of a Fitbit health and fitness tracker seamlessly integrated into the watch. That includes more than 40 activity and workout modes. You also get an always-on Actua AMOLED display that’s brighter than ever (up to 2,000 nits), but can easily be dimmed to just 1 nit when you’re at the theater or trying to sleep.
Battery life is now up to 24 hours. Thanks to AI, the watch can better manage incoming calls and detect spam more efficiently. You can also use the watch’s Recorder app to record your thoughts, meetings, classes or conversations and then have a transcript and summary delivered directly to your smartphone. And if you have a smart TV that is compatible with the Google TVOSyou can use the Pixel Watch 3 as a remote control for your TV.
One feature we really like is that if you have a Nest Cam or Nest Video Doorbell, you can see their live video feed right on your watch and communicate with anyone at your door. A new Safety Check feature shares your location with select people at a preset time when you’re out alone. Fall detection, SOS emergency sharing, and the watch’s ability to share your medical information in the event of an emergency are also built into the watch.
Pixel Watch 3 comes with one watch band, but dozens of others are available, so you can customize the watch to suit your outfit, mood, or activity. Both watch sizes are available with either Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity only (meaning it’s heavily dependent on your smartphone, which needs to stay nearby) or 4G LTE + Bluetooth/Wi-Fi.
We recommend the 4G LTE + Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version of the Pixel Watch 3. This allows you to communicate and work autonomously from your smartphone – manage calls and SMS, let Gemini Assistant retrieve information from the Internet, stream music or videos, and much more. You can use the watch anywhere, even if you leave your phone at home.
Sensors built into the Pixel Watch 3 include a compass, altimeter, SpO2 monitor, multi-way optical heart rate sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, skin temperature sensor, barometer, and more.
