The Pixel Watch 3 might look similar to last year’s Pixel Watch 2, but on the inside, this new Google smartwatch will have several great upgrades. I’ve been using it for over two weeks, and can confidently say it’s been on my wrist most of the time. Mind you, I’m not new to Android smartwatches. I’ve used the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and loved its extremely long battery life and WearOS features.
The good thing is that Google Pixel Watches have been introduced in different sizes (41mm and 45mm) just like Apple. This is a good thing because the company also adopted the same method for the Pixel 9 (Review) smartphone series, in which for the first time the Pro model was introduced in two sizes. This can give Google Pixel a good position in the market.
If you are used to wearing a light watch then this watch will give you a little less comfortable feeling because Google Pixel weighs a bit more, although after using it for a few days you will get used to it but in the beginning you may have to make some compromises.
If you are thinking what if I bought such an expensive watch and it slipped or fell from my hand, then don’t worry because Google can remove the durability concern by replacing the old Gorilla 5 glass with the new generation and stronger Corning glass so you can use it without any worry.
