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

If you can afford it get the Google leather strap and then take the lugs off it. I've been using them since I got my PW3 and just get cheap 22mm straps from wherever. I know the actual strap from Google is expensive but so far I've not seen any similar lugs anywhere else in the UK.

I've been a pixel watch owner since the pw3 and now have the Pw4 45mm. I have the black Italian leather band and sport band that I bought from Google and rarely use. The obsidian performance loop is what I've grown partial to. Does smell sometimes but washing on a normal basis alleviates that.

I got this one for my PW3 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Strap-Compatible-Google-Pixel/dp/B0C91HRWZN/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6 Very good quality and even the clips are made from good quality metal.

They can't do anything as it's 3 months out of warranty. My only option with Google is to get it repaired costing £200 which is £40 more than buying a pixel watch 3 45mm new on sale from Amazon. Thank you though.

I have the same one. I got it with my Google store credits a few years ago. Used it on both my PW3 and now PW4 45mm watch. Holding up great. I did have another that was $40 from Amazon for my PW2 that was really good. At the time they didn't have a 45mm version. This is the PW2 one I have, in case a

they are actually surprisingly pretty durable naked in my experience. i've worn mine (PW1 and PW3) to the gym every day for years and bang it around quite a bit. consider getting a "Renewed" PW3 for $100-$150 and if you damage it - it's not that big of a deal! - Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) (Renewed)

Interesting. I bought my pw3 from the google store a while ago and got the preferred care+ thing. Last month I had to put in for a repair because the crown button stopped working. There was a small charge (i think 50 USD, i don't remember exactly) The next day i had a 'use, like new' replacement whi

Oh Im like 5 months in with PW3. It's pretty good, the watch looks great, i got the Google metal band and I quite like it. Compared to AW2 it's not a clear winner. Battery drains faster and i am noticing messaging apps have a delay. I am not complaining tho, because I use the watch a lot for my work

I returned a brand new one last weekend, the touchscreen didn't work. I paid in advance for a 'refurbished' one (which I was cross about as mine was literally straight out of the box). The email said to hang on to original accessories. When the 'refurbished' one arrived it had a sticker on box sayin
