I was excited when I first put Google's third smartwatch iteration on my wrist in preparation for this Pixel Watch 3 review, because I felt like the changes made this year were great ones. You might think an additional size, reduction in bezel and jump in brightness aren't anything to write home about, but I'd say you were mistaken.
Smartwatches can really only take things so far because ultimately, your wrist is only so big. They can't extend past that space and still look good and that's the key; they have to look good, no matter what features they offer. The Pixel Watch 2 did a good job, but it still had some work to do to compete with some of the best smartwatches out there.
