Nice. Google usually understates the battery life so I suspect it to last longer than what they say. My PW3 45mm lasts a day and a half. Which I'm fine with me since I charge it when I shower but 2 days wouldn't hurt. Going to the gym I don't bring my phone so if it's more efficient with LTE that's

Pixel watch 3 is great. Best additions are real time HR updates (no having to go to a specific app to see your HR). Easy to customize and get external watch faces. Watch has Google Assistant right now, but will get Gemini later this year. I would say battery on PW3 is even better than Apple Watch, s

Not saying pixel Watch 3 is better than a OnePlus watch but google battery hour estimate is heavily underrated. For example Google says 36 hrs standard use for 45 mm version with aod off I have been using pw3 45 for 9 months now I consistently get more than 3 days around 75 hrs with everything ON an

Pixel Watch 2 stops getting software updates October 2026.. I have used the PW2 and 3 each for a year. I'm currently using the 4. The screen was arguably the biggest improvement on the 3, then maybe battery life, then UWB/connectivity. The 4 feels much more refined compared to the 3. Battery seems t

I have a Pixel 8 pro and recently switched to Google Fi service and they offer free LTE watch device connection. So I bought a Pixel 3 LTE 45 watch on FBM for $140 brand new. I wanted an LTE watch for going jogging and going to the gym without taking my phone. It has been very good. Battery lasts lo

I have the same watch and I've never gotten more than 2-2.5 days out of a charge, and I have EVERYTHING extraneous turned off. AOD is off, Wifi is off, Tilt to Wake is off, Turn Crown to wake is off, display timeout after 5 seconds is on. I've had my PW3 for about 4 months and bought it brand new fr

Google bumped the official battery life from 24h to 30h from PW3 to PW4 41mm, but most tests/reports I have seen say they are a bit closer than that in reality (I don't recall the details but software updates were part of the reason for the bump, not only hardware design, and PW3 got some of them to

Pixel watch 2 runs out of support this year so as long as your happy that you may not get wear OS 7, and can stay on wear OS 6 then get the 2. Just dont moan that after you do get the 2 you start using it for more then you planned so may have wanted the 3 after all. If google release watch face form

I have been a fitbit user for 10 years now, and owned nearly every iteration of the Charge tracker. I recently upgraded to the Pixel Watch when I saw it on sale early last year. I then traded that in for the Pixel Watch 3. I personally don't mind the PW3 aside from trying maximize battery life on it

I am pretty much in the same place. I have a 9 Pro XL and PW3 45mm LTE. The watch is outstanding (as is the phone, which I upgraded from a P7 pro). Watch: Great battery life, even with display "always on" (which still dims itself); excellent brightness, great LTE connectivity too. You can get a used
