The next generation Pixel Watch is here with bigger displays, more color options and a focus on fitness and performance.
The Made by Google event on August 13th was a showcase of innovation, and the Pixel Watch 3 was a standout. The latest iteration of Google's flagship wearable is packed with features that promise to elevate your fitness journey and streamline your daily life.
The Pixel Watch 3 is available in two sizes: a new 45mm variant with a 40% larger screen and the existing 41mm model, now with 16% less bezel than its predecessor. Both sizes feature the cutting-edge Actua display, boasting twice the brightness (2000 nits peak) of the Pixel Watch 2, a dynamic refresh rate from 1 to 60Hz for smoother interactions and power efficiency, and the ability to dim down to a mere 1 nit for optimal viewing in low-light conditions.
The 45mm Pixel Watch 3 packs a 35% larger battery, delivering up to 36 hours of usage in Battery Saver mode without compromising essential health and safety features like fall detection. An intelligent Auto Battery Saver mode kicks in at low battery levels, and the 41mm model boasts a 20% faster charging speed compared to the Pixel Watch 2, saving you 15 minutes when charging from 0 to 100%. An offloaded dual-chip compute architecture further optimizes performance and power management. Additionally, the Auto Bedtime Mode uses heart rate, motion, and other heuristics to detect when you fall asleep, automatically conserving battery and minimizing disruptions.
The Pixel Watch 3 redefines the running experience with features designed to assist you at every step. The new workout builder lets you create personalized routines, while real-time guidance provides audio and haptic cues during your runs. Seamless integration with popular fitness equipment like Peloton and NordicTrack, along with offline Google Maps access and media controls, ensure a smooth workout experience.
Enhanced sensors offer up to 40% more accurate heart rate tracking during intense activities, and the watch provides detailed running metrics and form insights within the Fitbit app.
An all-new readiness score, available to all users without a Fitbit Premium subscription, utilizes improved algorithms analyzing heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and recent sleep to provide a personalized assessment of your recovery state and recommended activity levels.
Cardio load tracking monitors how hard your heart is working throughout the day, offering insights into your exertion levels and training status. You also receive a personalized daily target load score every morning, helping you strike the perfect balance between activity and rest.
The Fitbit Morning Brief greets you with a summary of key health and fitness metrics, including readiness and target load, sleep quality, exercise progress, and any overnight changes to your health data. It even provides weather information, so you're prepared for the day ahead.
And if you're on the fitness track, Google wants you to elevate your fitness journey with Fitbit Premium, included for 6 months for free with your Pixel Watch 3 purchase. Gain deeper insights into your health and fitness data, receive personalized run and workout recommendations, and access exclusive workout content led by Fitbit's expert trainers.
The Pixel Watch 3 extends its capabilities beyond fitness tracking with features that make your life easier. View a live feed of your Nest doorbell and cam from your watch, and even talk to visitors. Control your Google TV and smart home devices with the Google TV Remote and Home Actions Tile.
Unlock your compatible BMW or Mini with UWB Watch Unlock. Expanded Call Assist lets you screen and hold calls with Google Assistant. Capture memories with the Pixel Recorder app and improved Camera Controls, perfect for group photos or astro shots.
The Google Pixel Watch 3's iconic circular design is now crafted from 100% recycled aluminum, showcasing Google's commitment to sustainability. It's available in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and a range of classic and trendy colors, allowing for further customization to match your style and needs.
Both sizes come in Matte Black with an Obsidian band and Polished Silver with a Porcelain band. The 45mm also offers a Matte Hazel option with a Hazel band, while the 41mm adds a Champagne Gold with a Hazel band and a Polished Silver with a Rose Quartz band.
Google is also offering a wide selection of Pixel Watch accessories in various styles, colors, and materials, ensuring you'll find the perfect band to complement any occasion, from workouts to evenings out.
