pro tip for the LTE pixel watches: if you're on google fi, google doesn't charge you an additional fee for having your pixel watch as an additional line (most carriers charge an extra $5-10 a month for adding a watch line). been doing this since the pixel watch 1, so consider switching to google fi if you can! loving my 45mm pixel watch 3 personally!

On the topic of watch bands, for me, the price is the issue. I've been rocking my PW2 for a year now, and while I did buy five cheap third-party bands to mix up the styling, ultimately, I've ended up just wearing the original active band that came with the watch for the majority of my year of use, which isn't even a colour I like (I opted for a gold pixel watch, but the gray/green band that comes with it is just so... dull). Why? The cheap bands didn't attach properly - some of them would rattle in the quick-release housing whenever the watch vibrated, others would refuse to lock in to the quick-release housing, and they irritated my skin and kept sliding around on my wrist. The active band that came with the watch though, it doesn't irritate my skin, it doesn't slip around, and it locks in place firmly in the quick release mechanism. A good experience (aesthetics aside) which would tempt me to buy an official band that's more to my liking... only they *start* at £49 and go all the way up to £209! For *one* watch band! 🥴 Oh but don't worry, the most expensive option is only £8.71 a month over 24 months with financing? Is this the reality we live in now, two year finance plans on a single watch strap???? Google's watch band offerings rather limited in styles and colourways, but there are a few which I wouldn't mind having, and I like the idea of having a variety of bands for different occasions, since they're so easy to swap. But if I wanted to buy the four bands that most appeal to me, that would set me back a rather eye-watering £456. For the Americans here, that's five bucks away from being six hundred dollars at time of writing. I'm sorry, but hard pass.

Thank you for the review Michael - spot on as usual! I got the Pixel Watch 3 (Hazel) last Sunday, and after the first evening of wearing it, I wanted to sell it off (due to the 'large' culture shock of moving from an Apple Watch Ultra) and immediately put it on an online sale app, thinking that I will go back to a Watch Ultra 2 in black. Next day morning, I went for a walk and that changed the whole dimension - the simplicity of the interface, the glanceability and more importantly the real-time metrics; be it the steps taken, heart rate etc., it was a whole new experience. Got back home, deleted the sale advt., and now close to one week, I am not missing my Apple Watch. I do prefer the chunky feel of the Watch Ultra, but the 45mm Pixel is a reasonable good size (I hope Google provide an Ultra iteration next year).

I'm on a Watch 2 that came with a Pixel 8 offer. I like the rubber watch strap as I do exercise with it - although I may look for a perforated version of the rubber one for a bit more airflow. I admit, I don't use most of the features you mention - it is very much fitness oriented, as well as the sleep tracking. I do wish that one day we may get watches that last for a week - like the cheap fitness bands I was wearing before this. I also hope they can let Facer back in at some point.

Galaxy Watch 6 Classic club and I got it new for only $240 on Ebay. Decided to buy it over waiting for this and I have no regrets. Battery is fantastic. Surprisingly, though, my favorite feature is the strap that's leather on top and rubber on bottom. Still have Google Assistant and that's nice. But I am open to the idea of a Pixel watch someday just for the cleaner interface and I'm glad the Pixel Watch is getting there quality-wise.

Most of these watches seem to miss the most important feature; Easily display the time in day or night. Pebble got this right, and these days Garmin and Xiaomi, get it right these days with TFT displays. The brighter environment, the more visible the display is. Why do watch manufacturers try and out-shine the Sun? It's an exercise in futility. Pebble, Garmin, and Xiaomi have watches that last for days with always on displays because the display doesn't fight the sun to keep visible using large amounts of power to display. I am using a Garmin right now, and I don't have to tap the screen, or retreat into a shadow to see the time, or a message, it is there and quite visible. Sure, the colours are not supersaturated like OLED displays, but reduced charging, and better visibility is much more of a benefit.

As a regular Apple Watch user, I am sad to see the “Wild West” of android watches sunset. But I guess Apple’s wearable strategy has been more successful, so it makes sense 😕 Regarding the bands: I may be in the minority here, but I actually do enjoy using the silicone standard band that came with my first Apple Watch Series 2 all those years ago (I am on a Series 9 now). I don’t enjoy having a metal band, except for special occasions. And cloth bands absorb too much of my sweat. Leather bands are nice, but they also do not handle my daily wear and tear as well as the silicone does. That said, wear what you prefer when and where you prefer; they give us customizability for a reason 🙂

At least Apple gives you the option to choose the band you want, and you get a $50 discount on a more expensive band. For example, if you exchange a $100 woven band (or any other $100 band) for the $50 sport band, you only pay $50 for that woven band.

I'm fortunate to have tried both Samsung's Watch7 (44mm) and Google's Pixel Watch 3 (45mm). There are certain aspects that I like on the Google side over Samsung's but there are more things I like on the Samsung side over Google. For starters, the hardware design. I don't like that curved glass top at all. And I think due to this, there is no tempered glass protector out there (except for maybe that one other that's godly expensive? Didn't check). I also don't like how the bands attach to the watch itself -- proprietary. Granted it makes for an interesting and smooth design. But if I can't use my own band with a watch and have to shell out extra $$$ for an adapter, then I cannot find myself using Google's watch for long. I ended up sticking to Samsung's Watch7 as my primary watch. Both are good timepieces. But I prefer Samsung's exterior design than Google's.

Picked up a pixel watch 3 45mm, as my first pixel watch and I'm happy camper expect for a couple of things, not all the 1st party bands being available for the 45mm size & the lack of a built in player locally stored music like Samsung has for their watches. I find it kind of odd the bigger pricer watch doesn't have all the bands of the smaller cheaper watch. I have all the music I want already on my phones storage so why not provide a even a basic player and way to move the tunes i already own on to the watch.

The Pixel Watch 3 was my gateway into getting out of the Pixel ecosystem, had the 2 for 6 months and couldn't make friends with it. I agree the earlier Wear strategy was nicer. I had a few earlier Fossil watches that I liked because they don't look like smart watches. The Pixel Watch looks too much like a gadget on my wrist. I've ended up going back to my Withings Scanwatch Horizon as a result. On the plus side I'll no longer feel compelled to stick with Pixel phones which will save me a few hundred. My next phone will probably be whatever Nothing phone is out at the end of my contract. Also I don't mind the silicon bands but that bone colour that comes with the stainless steel gen 3, ugh. Also. That band changing mechanism. Again, ugh.

Your review lacks how long it took to charge. I was always sad how Google couldn't get watches to work, and so they ended up cloning Apples approach. Except they get the one important thing wrong: the watch should not be circular. The only reason to have a circular watch is to display a non-digital watch face. But those are much harder to accurately read and take up much more space on the watch - they are an imitation of the limitations of older technology. Having so many non-digital watchfaces is one of the things that annoy me with Apples watches, as well as the lack of third-party options. Why is it that when companies copy Apple, they copy them badly?
@-ThatGuy-

I agree. I just don’t seen any appeal to analog watch faces. Digital watch faces just make more sense in modern devices. Analog watch faces are like the cursive of watch faces. Great as an aesthetic but impractical for daily use and for some harder to read and use in practice because the world doesn’t really use it anymore.
