The Pixel Watch 3 was released in September 2024. It comes in two sizes instead of one. These sizes give buyers more screen to work with, solid battery life, and more Google AI.

How Much Does a Google Pixel Watch 3 Cost?

The first two Pixel Watches started at $349.99, and you can expect to pay more for LTE. The Pixel Watch 3 follows a similar pricing structure:

• Pixel Watch 3 (41 mm): $349.99
• Pixel Watch 3 (41 mm / LTE): $449.99
• Pixel Watch 3 (45 mm): $399.99
• Pixel Watch 3 (45 mm / LTE): $499.99

What Makes the Google Pixel Watch 3 Special

The Pixel Watch 3 delivers on the biggest items on our wish list: a bigger, brighter screen and a larger battery. Here’s a look at some of the other Pixel Watch 3 specs and feature highlights.

Improved Battery Life

Though the battery life in the Pixel Watch 2 received a bump over the first edition, that much-needed update still had room for improvement. In the Pixel Watch 3, the battery extends from 24 to 36 hours of use in Battery Saver mode.

However, the Pixel Watch 3 keeps capacity to 24 hours with Always On Display turned on.

Bigger, Brighter in Two Sizes

Rather than offering a single 41mm option, the Pixel 3 also comes in an all-new larger 45mm size. This first-ever 45mm Pixel watch has a 40 percent brighter display and a 35 percent bigger battery than the Pixel Watch 2. The 41mm version boasts 10 percent more screen.

Both sizes have an Actua display capable of emitting up to 2,000 nits or dimming as low as 1 nit, making the Pixel Watch 3’s display twice as bright as the Pixel Watch 2.

New Fitness Features With a Focus on Running

The Fitbit suite of tools remains built into the Pixel Watch 3, like its predecessor, but there’s now more support for running training than ever before. You can use AI-generated workout-building tools to customize training plans, types of runs, and goals.

During runs, the Pixel Watch 3 provides real-time updates and guidance and can offer coaching on running form, including tips about cadence and speed. The Pixel Watch 3 has also been tuned to provide the most accurate running heart rate tracking than before, thanks to heart-rate tracking sampling happening in the background all day.

Other health features of note include new fitness scores that measure how ready you are to work out, training level exertion, and how intense you need to go that day. This information also arrives in a morning brief for an at-a-glance snapshot.

More Integration With Pixel Phones

The Pixel Watch 3 also introduces a few new features that make phone-free control even easier:

• Live stream Nest cam feed: Receive notifications and view the feed on your watch.
• Camera control: Access various camera modes, including astrophotography, and snap pictures directly from the Pixel Watch 3.
• Use Google Maps offline: Navigate with offline maps.
• Call Assist: This new feature lets you receive and hold a call from the watch until you can continue the conversation.
