Google announced not only its forthcoming Pixel 9 lineup during its Made by Google event on Tuesday but also a slew of other devices, including the Pixel Watch 3. The smartwatch will be available on September 10th starting at $349.99, with preorders opening today.
For the first time, Google’s smartwatch will be available in two sizes — 41mm and 45mm — both of which use the same processor as the Pixel Watch 2 but sport larger, brighter displays. Google claims the wearable can last up to 36 hours, while thinner bezels offer more space to display information, read messages, and perform other tasks.
On the software front, Google’s forthcoming wearable offers several advanced running features, including one that lets you send custom workouts from your phone to your wrist. Your Daily Readiness Score also now takes into consideration how hard your heart is working during a training session, while the new Loss of Pulse Detection feature can connect you with help if it detects a lack of pulse — though, due to regulatory hurdles in the US, it will only be available in Europe at launch. Google’s third-gen watch also integrates with more Google devices, allowing you to view a Nest Doorbell feed on your wrist or control your Google TV.
In our brief time testing the Pixel Watch 3, we were impressed by just how many new features it offers. We’ve yet to test its health and wellness capabilities, but the watch is certainly brighter and the Nest Doorbell / Nest Cam integration shows promise. The Wi-Fi connection wasn’t working great during our testing, but we could have easily had a conversation with somebody on the other side.
We’ll be publishing our full review soon, but in the meantime, you can preorder either model from Google.
How to preorder the Google Pixel Watch 3
As mentioned earlier, the Pixel Watch 3 now comes in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, both of which are accompanied by small and large bands. Both models are available for preorder in either a matte black aluminum case with an obsidian band or in a polished silver case with a porcelain band. The 41mm is also available in two additional styles: one with a champagne gold aluminum case and a hazel band, and another with a polished silver finish with a rose quartz band. The 45mm configuration, meanwhile, is available in matte hazel aluminum case with a hazel band.
Starting today, you can preorder the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 directly from Google with Bluetooth / Wi-Fi for $349.99. Google is also selling an LTE-enabled configuration for $100 more, with both models slated to arrive on September 10th. If you want a larger watch, Google is selling the 45mm model with Bluetooth / Wi-Fi for $399.99 or cellular connectivity for $499.99.
As for deals, Google is currently offering a number of preorder discounts, letting you save up to $350 on the Pixel Watch 3 when you trade in an eligible smartwatch. You can also get two years of data for free when you buy any LTE-enabled model.
