    Google's Pixel Watch finally comes into its own

    The Google Pixel Watch 3 is Google's latest effort to provide Pixel phone owners (and Android users in general) with a capable smartwatch that looks as good as it performs. And while past versions of the smartwatch have delighted users, there were necessary improvements that needed to be made. Google has listened to the feedback given by consumers and delivered the Pixel Watch 3, which finally offers what users have been hoping for with this device for the past two years – a bigger display.

    Coming in two sizes, the Pixel Watch 3 now offers a bigger display and implements other improvements such as battery life and performance. Additionally, it comes with the newest version of the operating system – Wear OS 5. If a bigger display is all you've wanted, then you're most certainly getting that with this watch. The bigger display is just the start of the improvements though. With noticeably longer battery life, you can actually use the watch for a few days without having to toss it onto the charger. That alone is a major improvement because it means you can worry less about whether or not the watch is going to shut off in the middle of the day. Of course, the display is brighter this time around, too. In fact, it has double the brightness of the last model. So it will be way easier to see in direct sunlight. All around, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is a great smartwatch with a lot to offer, and it comes in multiple colors including Polished Silver, Matte Hazel, and more.

    Google Pixel Watch 3 (41mm)
    The Google Pixel Watch 3 is the latest and greatest from Google featuring the new Wear OS 5 software. While it looks like the Pixel Watch 2 in every way, it's actually been improved in quite a few ways. This includes the design, as Google even made the display bigger on the 41mm watch by narrowing the bezels. It also has better battery life, and slightly snappier performance.
    Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm)
    The Google Pixel Watch 3 in its 45mm option is the same great watch but with an even bigger display and an even bigger battery. Just like the smaller version, it has slimmer bezels for an overall larger amount of screen real estate. So you get more display to interact with and thins are visibly easier to see. If you've loved the Pixel Watch series but always wished for a bigger display, this is the watch for you.

    The Google Pixel Watch 3 comes in two size options, and two connectivity options for each size. So depending on what options you want to go with, the price may increase. The Pixel Watch 3 starts at $349.99 for the 41mm size with Wi-Fi connectivity. The price goes up to $499.99 for the 45mm size with Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity.
    The Pixel Watch 3 has a 5ATM rating for water and dust resistance and it comes with a custom Corning Gorilla Glass over the Actua Display. So it will withstand the occasional light knock against things and should be fine if it's in your pocket with keys, coins, etc.
    This will really all depend on which size option you go with. That being said, the 45mm model should last you at least 2-3 days. In our experience with testing, we ended up getting nearly 4 days out of it.
    The Google Pixel Watch 3 is not capable of measuring blood pressure.

    Yes. The Google Pixel Watch 3 comes with an Active Band, which is included in the box. Additional bands can be purchased from Google.

    The Google Pixel Watch 3 4G LTE is unlocked at the time of purchase, so you can activate it with a compatible carrier. In the US, compatible carriers include AT&T (FirstNet), Cellcom, CSpire, Google Fi, T-Mobile, UScellular, Verizon, and Xfinity Mobile.
