Google Pixel Watch 3
Bigger (if you want) and better
The Pixel Watch 3 comes in two sizes, and the smaller 41mm option is pretty darn similar to the Pixel Watch 2. You get a much better display and a few minor hardware upgrades for connectivity, but most of its coolest new tricks will also come to the Pixel Watch 2 with Wear OS 5. We're most excited to have a 1.4-inch display option, finally.
For
- Two size options
- Thin-bordered, brighter display with faster Hz
- 20% faster charging
- UWB and Wi-Fi 5GHz
- Better HR accuracy during workouts
Against
- Surprisingly expensive for larger display, LTE
- No upgrade to CPU or battery
- No new health data
