Based on 1 year's data from Mar 14, 2026 How it works
PW 3 is MUCH better than the OG. Sleep tracking works every single night. It charges much, much faster. The battery lasts longer. The UI is quicker. Apps update faster. Fitness tracking is more accurate.
But I checke if I change from my 41mm pixel 2 to pixel 4 41mm the battery size is almost the same 45mm is too big for my wrist
I've tried Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy and at the moment I'm liking the OnePlus Watch 3. They all have their strong points but the OnePlus has fewer weak points.
Yes. I never had any issues with mine. When my pixel watch acts up I charge up my charge 4
This is already possible on the PW1 and has been in use since the market launch. When I tested PW3, I only got to max 36 hours. So in stayed with PW1.
That's interesting. I was really disappointed and had the PW3 with 45mm but then returned it and continued to use the PW1. I'm rather impressed that she still holds out so well. Another reason is the constant changes to the charging port. I charge the PW1 90% via Qi because my third-party pad is ironically compatible. Now I wanted to upgrade to the latest model this year, but the new charging port makes sure that every case looks terrible or needs to be removed when charging... Hopefully the PW1 will last another year and we'll just get Qi2.

I have talked about this before. I'll give short review. Before buying the watch, make sure the feature "loss of Pulse detection" is approved to work in where you live. In Canada loss of Pulse detection isn't approved by health Canada yet. The watch has a very minimal advantage over the pixel watch 2 (in terms of health tracking accuracy). For more info, check out the quantified scientist on YouTube. Pixel watch 3 is an upgrade if you go for a 45mm size. Pixel watch 3 doesn't allow you to store pictures on the watch like Samsung watches. Pixel watch 3 doesn't play music through the watch's built-in speaker. (Unlike Samsung watches) Pixel watch 3 whether 41mm or 45mm, with always on display on, it can't get more than 2 days battery so get familiar with charging it every day or so. The watch tracks body temperature but in an odd way that compares it to the previous day temperature. It usually gives values like +0.4c +1c but never actually tells you if your body temperature is 32°c like apple or Samsung watches.
If you're going to go for the smaller size PW3, then just go for a PW2. They are half the price right now, and virtually the same watch.
I can't speak of the PW3. But I'm not gentle with my PW2 and it doesn't have a single noticeable scratch on the screen. I've knocked it a bunch of times too.
Pixel watch 4 is the first Pixel watch where I havn't had to ever worry about battery life, few minutes charge during a shower and it's good to go. This has also resulted in me wearing it pretty much everyday, all day. Previous Pixel watches I would often set down the charge and then forget to put back on. I would 100% upgrade from 2 to 4, even 3 to 4 is a significant enough improvement for me. I traded in my 1 when I got the 4 (still have the 2 and 3 that I hand down to family) and it was actually laughable to handle it again, it's tiny for a start with an even tinier screen due to huge bezel, I also remember the battery life was terrible. We have come a long way and I'm excited for the 5!
I've had a bunch of watches -- currently on the PW3 (large) and previously a bunch of Ticwatches. The battery life on the Ticwatch was amazing, but the software was buggy and the updates were slow. Apart from a few issues around swim tracking, the Pixel Watch is amazing. I regularly get 36+ hours of battery life and I don't have any issues with going two days without charging. Another option is a fitbit. You get most of what you want, with better battery life, but less powerful notifications. Also -- PW and Fitbit both give you a daily update based on your sleep and blood oxygen, heart rate etc to give you a better idea of your state of health and readiness. So I don't check them all directly, but it does help. And the PW3 does have a loss of heartbeat detector so that if you faint, it will call emergency services (in a few countries right now)
I use a Pixel watch. Golf Pad (the app I use to track my rounds) is compatible with the watch.
