Summary
Despite the fact that the initial Google Pixel Watch had a few technological problems, the second generation of the Pixel was a significant and significant improvement. The majority of the problems that were present in the first model were resolved, and as a result, it was a far superior smartwatch.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 is anticipated to be released this year. There are already a few topics that we can discuss, despite the fact that we are still a few months away from any formal announcement. This is everything we have learned up to this point!
When will the Google Pixel Watch 3 be available?
Despite the fact that the Pixel Watch is a bit of a latecomer in the smartwatch sector, it has already established a release schedule that is dependable.
The first Google Pixel Watch was released in October 2022, and the Pixel Watch 2 was released in October 2023, exactly one year after the original Pixel Watch. Alongside the debut of the most recent Google Pixel flagship phones, both Pixel Watches were also released.
Assuming that the claims are genuine, it is reasonable to anticipate that the Google Pixel Watch 3 will be introduced in October 2024, concurrently with the debut of the Google Pixel 9 series. This series may include the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL among its products, if the reports are right.
The pricing of the Google Pixel Watch 3
Concerning the price of the Google Pixel Watch 3, we have not yet come across any speculations that have been circulating. However, we are able to get some insight from the two versions that came before, which have remained constant up to this point.
In the beginning, the price of the Pixel Watch was $349 for the Wi-Fi model and $399 for the additional LTE option. In addition, the Pixel Watch 2 costs $349 for Wi-Fi connection and $399 for access to LTE networks.
The majority of smartwatches on the market today, including those manufactured by Apple and Samsung, have a beginning price that is comparable to this, so we do not anticipate that Google will be any different. There is always the possibility that there would be a modest rise in price, but there has been no indication from this point forward that this will be the case with the Pixel Watch 3.
The design of the Google Pixel Watch 3
The design of the Pixel Watch series has been quite straightforward up to this point. The watch face is round, and there is a crown on the side. Additionally, the watch strap has a brand-exclusive design. It is a design that is simple and unobtrusive, and some individuals consider it to be one of the most significant advantages of the Pixel Watch.
On the other hand, this may be different with the Pixel Watch 3. The fact that the current Pixel Watches are only available in a single size, which is 41 millimeters, is one of the comments that a lot of people have made about them. A few stories have surfaced up to this point indicating that the Google Pixel Watch 3 would be available in a second size for the very first time, which is 45 millimeters.
When it comes to smartwatches, it is rather typical practice to give numerous size choices. Apple and Samsung, for example, both offer two versions of their respective watches, the Apple Watch and the Galaxy Watch. Given that there have been no indications of any significant design modifications, it is quite probable that the Pixel Watch 3 will continue to use the same circular watch face that we have seen over the previous couple of years.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 was equipped with 2 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM) and relied on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 CPU. In comparison to the initial Pixel Watch, which was powered by an Exynos processor, these were significant advancements.
As of yet, there has been no information about the chipset that will be used by the Pixel Watch 3. However, taking into consideration how much superior the W5 was to the Exynos processor that was utilized in the original edition, we cannot picture Google taking a step backward. The Google Pixel event is scheduled to take place in the autumn, and as we approach closer to the event, we expect see more information regarding what will be included inside the Pixel Watch 3.
On the other hand, there are rumors circulating that the Pixel Watch 3 will be equipped with an ultra-wideband (UWB) processor on the inside. This is the chip that is used for accurate data transmission over short distances and for monitoring the position of an individual.
The incorporation of a UWB chip could signify a few different things. The Pixel Watch 2 is currently capable of unlocking the Android phone that it is linked with; however, universal wireless charging (UWB) might make this unlocking process more efficient and precise. It is also possible that the Pixel Watch 3 might be able to find your misplaced Android phone via the use of UWB, which is comparable to the capabilities of the Precision Finding function found on the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
The latest software and upgrades for the Google Pixel Watch 3
Where does software come in? Wear OS 4 is now being used by the Pixel Watch 2, which is not much different from Wear OS 3.5 that was previously utilized.
Due to the fact that both Google and Samsung have been working on Wear OS 5, we should be able to expect it to be released for the Pixel Watch 3 later this year. Android 14 will serve as the foundation for Wear OS 5. Given that the Pixel Watch 2 mainly relies on Fitbit integration for the purpose of monitoring health and fitness, we should anticipate that the Pixel Watch 3 will have the same functionality.
The Pixel Watch 2 will get enough software upgrades to last for at least three years, which is a respectable amount. It is expected that the Pixel Watch 3 will get support that is comparable, if not somewhat better.
Google Pixel Watch 3: battery life
There have been rumors circulating that the Pixel Watch 3 would have a larger battery capacity than its predecessor. Unfortunately, it is quite unlikely that it will be sufficient to create a substantial difference in comparison to the two Pixel Watches that came before it.
91Mobiles has published a report that reveals Google’s battery certification for the Pixel Watch 3, which implies that the device has a battery capacity of 307 mAh. The Pixel Watch 2 has a battery capacity of 306 milliampere-hours (mAh). For all intents and purposes, it is an upgrade, but not by much.
When compared to the increase that occurred between the first Pixel Watch and the second Pixel Watch, this bigger battery is a far less significant improvement. To put things into perspective, the increase was from 294mAh to 306mAh. The increase of one mAh from the Pixel Watch 2 to the Pixel Watch 3 is hardly noticeable.
In terms of the charger or the rate at which it charges, there has been no information released about the Pixel Watch 3 as of yet. As a result of the fact that the Pixel Watch 2 can get around fifty percent of its charge in thirty minutes, we may speculate that the Pixel Watch 3 will be comparable.
