Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) 2024 Model - Android Smartwatch, Heart Rate Tracking, Fitbit Advanced Running, Fitness Insights, 24-Hour Battery - Matte Hazel Aluminum Case - Hazel Band - Wi-Fi

Great first (serious) smartwatch. Battery life could be better but everything is pretty darn great. Easy to set up with my Pixel phone, comfortable enought to forget it's on. Sleep tracking is great. Screen is bright enough all the time and heart rate tracking is good too. All the Fitbit features work good.

I’ve been really impressed with the Google Pixel Watch 3. It offers such a wide variety of features that make it both practical and easy to use. The heart rate monitor is accurate and helpful for keeping an eye on daily health, and the sleep tracker gives clear, useful insights without being overwhelming. One of my favorite features is the quick start exercise tracker—it makes it so easy to jump right into a workout without scrolling through menus. Overall, the Pixel Watch 3 combines convenience, great health tracking, and a clean design, making it a fantastic everyday smartwatch.

It's a great buy, works pretty good, battery lasts full 24 hours without needing a charge (clearly that depends on your usage). I use it to track my sleep, get notifications, mess around with some games every now and then. And it's awesome, if you don't want to spend extra money on the Pixel watch 4. This one's a solid choice.

I like this watch however it is not without fault. It's very stylish so I like it for that reason. It's clear and keeps accurate time, but that's only secondary to what it's designed for. Honestly, I'm not sure how to gauge accuracy on some aspects, but in terms of my heart rate, I think it's pretty good. Some other features, not so much. There is a stress and mindfulness feature that allows you to record your stress levels. It tells me that it's detected a potential change in my emotional state when I have no idea why. Then when I'm happy or mad, I get no notification. It's a little large, but I also have a small wrist. I think all these watches are too expensive, but the price is at least competitive. I like all the features like the ability to answer the phone thru it and controlling your music thru it. I have a Pixel phone, so they work hand in hand with each other. If I think of anything else, I'll be certain to add it.

Bought my husband the 41mm and it fit him perfectly as a 6’1” guy with medium wrists. I was afraid the display would be too small, but it wasn’t. I’ll try not to repeat what others are saying in the reviews, but in our personal experience, the watch is a great replacement to him previously using his Pixel phone and wearing a Fitbit. It syncs easily with the phone for easy setup and you can customize your display, as well as which apps and functions you want it to do. For example, my husband loves that he is able to load his credit cards and swipe his watch instead of fumbling for his phone or physical wallet when trying to pay for fares on his daily commute. The display is bright and legible. There are a lot of cool features to explore, such as using the watch as a soft flashlight at night when you don’t want to get flash banged by the flashlight feature in your phone. Or using the watch as a “remote control” to have your phone camera take photos from a tripod or hands free mode. Or having the watch track your heart rate and monitor your sleep. No more missing texts or calls because you didn’t hear your phone - you can set your watch to vibrate on your arm. The mic quality is surprisingly good, although it doesn’t mute background noises, so it isn’t recommended for use in crowded or noisy areas. The audio-to-text speech recognition of the watch is also more accurate than expected. The design is excellent - you can rotate the display so that you can wear the watch comfortably as a left-handed person with the knob facing outwards, which the Fitbit could not. I think if you catch it on sale and you own a Pixel phone, this watch is worth buying. Not sure about its durability yet, but so far we are very pleased with its features and customization.

Very pleased with the watch. Synched easily with my existing Fitbit account. Battery life fair at about 24-36 hours, but acceptable.

I had a Fitbit Sense before this watch and this one is way better. I love it. It charges fast even when it's dead. I've bumped it multiple times, no damage. The face plate covers help, sold separately.

This was a huge waste of money and I am now barely just past the return date. I bought one of these on Amazon prime day because it had been on my wish list. I had been using a Fitbit Inspire 3 for a year and actually have loved it, but wanted something that looked nicer with outfits and that had a few more functions. On top of that, I read an article that Google is going to be phasing out the fitbit's now that they have acquired the company and basically forcing everyone to the Pixel watches. So I wanted to get ahead of it. With all that said, I truly do not understand the great reviews of this fitness watch. It's shortcomings are many. I can only assume that most people that have given this great reviews have not been using a Fitbit and therefore do not realize how inaccurate this is. I need to say also that I bought this brand new. This was not a used product or refurbished. Brand new. First off, this watch is inaccurate when it comes to step count by more than 1/3. As in, it misses over 1/3 of my steps CONSISTENTLY. So, if I had actually gotten 9k steps in, it only registers maybe around 6k. I've used fitbits for years. I know how to calibrate the step length and make sure that everything is correct. I've worked with Google's team to make sure that everything is correct. I have everything set correctly. I have worn both my Fitbit and this together in order to track the inconsistencies. I've even counted my own steps. This thing misses around 1/3 of steps. Period. That's a whole lot of steps you are missing. So if you buy this and you feel like that your step count is too low, it is not in your head. Second, The HRV and heart rate algorithms and sensors are off by a significant amount. Because I have Hashimoto's and use MyFitness trackers for medical monitoring, I have made sure to test the accuracy of my Fitbit with my doctor's instruments on multiple occasions. My doctor and hospital staff have compared readings on their accurate equipment and verified that my Fitbit is insanely accurate. This watch also consistently overcalculates heart rate and under calculates HRV. In other words, it will consistently tell you that your current and resting heart rate is around 10bpm more than it actually is and will tell you that your HRV is about 7-10 lower than it actually is. All things that point to you being more unhealthy than you actually are. Again, I have worn both of these together and also calculated my own heartbeat and the pixel watch is inaccurate. Third, this thing has a horrible horrible battery life. I bought the Wi-Fi version, not the LTE version. I bought that specifically because it was supposed to have a better battery life. Nope. It needs recharged at least once every day or day and a half and that is WITH having the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth kept off, only purposely syncing with my Fitbit app once or twice a day by manually turning on the Wi-Fi or the Bluetooth, and keeping the brightness on low. If you even have this on medium brightness and have the Wi-Fi on when you are home by itself, you're going to have to recharge this at least every 24 hours or less. If you have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on it's even sooner and it only lasts about 16 hours. So if you are buying this to be able to use all of the fancy functions and Wi-Fi capability, you're going to need to keep in mind that you are going to have to recharge this often. Possibly more than once a day. And it does not recharge quickly. While the features are great and I like the use of Google Assistant and things on that, the watch off and glitches and restarts randomly and Mrs calls and things like that even when connected properly. Also, I should mention that this watch is fairly heavy. Even compared to regular watches. So you'll need to get used to that. It didn't bother me too much and I could have lived with it if it weren't for everything else going on with the watch. Lastly, I do need to address what was my last straw. That is the fact that I pay for Fitbit premium and the watch stopped consistently syncing with my Fitbit app. Some days it would, some days it wouldn't. Some days it would only sync part of my data, other days none. In this frustrating times were I had several occasions where my sleep chart was not available and said it did not get recorded at all despite the fact that I was wearing the watch correctly and had worn it during the night. I spent hours on the phone with support over multiple days for them to come to the conclusion that they didn't know what was causing this and it must be my fault even though they had to admit that everything that I was doing was correct and I was syncing it often enough. These issues only came about in the last few weeks when the new update was pushed to my watch. If you get on the forums online on Reddit and other areas you will see that a ton of other people have had the same issues since the updates and it has basically rendered my watch unusable. I need the data for my heart rate and breathing rate and all of that, especially when sleeping, in order to keep track of my health because of my Hashimotos. Not being able to see those stats is a problem because my thyroid levels can very quickly get out of whack and normally my first indicator before I have severe symptoms is in my sleep charts. So after not being able to solve this with them I was finally done. Again, I want to reiterate that this was since the last update and I'm not the only person to have experienced this. A lot of people have had this experience. And it was frustrating part of all of this is this happened just after the return window viability for all of us who caught these watches during prime days. Literally a few days after the return window was up. So now I am $200 in the hole with basically a break on my counter that is inaccurate and unusable. But I did go back to my Fitbit and have been incredibly happy and even more grateful for it. If Google does end up making them obsolete that's fine. I will just go to Garmin or another manufacturer. Accuracy inconsistency are what matter the most to most people who are wearing these watches to monitor their health and this just has too many flaws and cons to make it worth the money. Maybe Google will actually listen to their customers and fix these things. But in my experience with them with customer service, sounds to me like all they really care about is a money grab and selling people expensive equipment with their programs and apps built in... Instead of actually having a quality fitness tracker. If you want a smartwatch for the sake of having a smartwatch where you have Google accessibility and Google Assistant and can take calls and read emails from it, etc. This is great. But again, keep in mind the battery life is absolutely atrocious. But if you're okay with all that, it would make for a great smartwatch if you don't specifically want it for a fitness tracker. But if you are like me and many other people who were excited that Google supposedly integrated Fitbit with a smartwatch... You're going to be very very disappointed. Stick with your fitbits until you can't use them any longer.
