Alongside the Pixel 9 series, Google announced the Pixel Watch 3, the company’s flagship smartwatch. It comes in 45mm and 41mm sizes, featuring advanced Actua displays with thinner bezels and offering peak brightness of 2000 nits, twice that of its predecessor.
The Pixel Watch 3 features a Qualcomm SW5100 chipset, 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, 4G LTE support, runs Wear OS 5.0 and offers up to 36 hours of battery life with Battery Saver mode and up to 24 hours with an always-on display.
New health features include Daily Readiness, Cardio Load, and Target Load, which provide insights into recovery and training. The watch also introduces Loss of Pulse Detection, a first-of-its-kind feature that can detect when the heart suddenly stops beating and automatically call to emergency services and share an automated message with critical context, along with users’ location.
Additionally, the Pixel Watch 3 offers deeper integration with Google and Pixel devices, allowing users to control smart home devices like Google TV Streamer, access voice notes, and unlock their phones and cars (BMW and MINI as of now) with their watch, thanks to the new Ultra-Wideband chip.
