For the past decade, I've only used an Apple Watch. But I finally tried a Pixel Watch 3, and I absolutely love it.
Ever since the original Apple Watch, smartwatches as a whole have really taken off. Though Apple largely dominates the market, there are still plenty of non-Apple smartwatches to choose from.
Related That’s where Android smartwatches differ. Popular models from Samsung and Google use a circular body, which is more akin to the traditional watch style. It looks less nerdy or geeky, per se, and I feel like it just looks better overall. The watch faces feel fresh and fun Ever since I got my Apple Watch Ultra, I’ve been a big fan of the Ultra Modular watch face. Before the Ultra, I pretty much just used the regular Modular face. These aren’t the most exciting watch faces, but they give me all the information I need to know at a glance. But they’re not very fun.
With the Pixel Watch 3, there are many watch faces with fun fonts, bold colors with dual-tone combos, gradients, and more. It feels so much more fresh and fun, and a lot of these color combos are fantastic. I’ll be going through more of the watch faces and color combinations on my Pixel Watch 3 in the coming weeks, but for right now, I’ll be sticking with Active Rosebush. This is a lot easier to match with outfits or occasions.
I also noticed that the Pixel Watch 3 is better at automatically detecting if I’m exercising, such as the long walk back to my car from Disneyland. That prompt came up at least twice during my full day in the parks, but it did not appear on my Apple Watch Ultra.
