The Google Pixel Watch 3 looks like a big upgrade on paper. However, two things may stop me from buying it.
The new Google Pixel Watch 3 fixes one of my biggest issues with the previous two generations: It’s now available in a bigger size. The previous models were too small for my wrists, and the Pixel Watch 2 required me to charge it two times a day in the brief time I used it. The new 45mm size is a welcome change, and the latest Google Pixel Watch offers plenty of new features that make it look like a lucrative upgrade.
Recommended Videos However, two things are stopping me from purchasing a Pixel Watch 3. These might not be important to everyone, but they are important factors to consider if you are traveling with a smartwatch. I expected a 45mm Pixel Watch to last longer than a single day, at least on paper. If you travel, the promised 24-hour or even 36-hour figure is underwhelming. It’s a problem for travelers because timezone changes, airport layovers, and more could exhaust the battery life before you can top it up. The more affordable OnePlus Watch 2R, by comparison, lasts two days easily and up to 100 hours in its power-saving mode. However, its bigger size is not for everyone.
These are all multipurpose wires that I can use to charge any of my gadgets. However, if I buy a Pixel Watch 3, I’ll need to carry one wire specifically for it and nothing else. A charging puck that disconnects from the wire, like on the OnePlus Watch 2, solves this issue. The puck is easy to carry in my carry-on luggage and can be used with my multipurpose Type-C wires whenever I need it.
