A brighter Actua display, deep Fitbit health tracking and a bigger battery make the Pixel Watch 3 the best smartwatch for Android users.

Quick Take
The Pixel Watch 3 is Google’s best smartwatch, with a brighter and larger Actua display, strong Fitbit powered health tracking and up to 36 hours of battery in saver mode. It shines brightest paired with a Pixel phone, where call screening and camera controls feel magical. Battery life still trails Garmin and the Apple Watch Ultra, and some advanced running features sit behind a Fitbit Premium paywall. For Android users it is the easy pick.

The Details
Full Review
Quality
The aluminum case feels premium and the domed Actua display is genuinely gorgeous at up to 2000 nits. The 45mm option finally gives big wrist owners a real choice. Fit and finish rival watches costing much more, and the band swap system is quick and secure.
Value
At 349 dollars the 41mm WiFi model undercuts the Apple Watch while matching it on smarts. Street prices now dip well below list, which makes it a steal. Just know the Pixel Watch 4 exists, so buy on discount, not at full price.
You’ll Love It If
Android users, especially Pixel owners, who want the best Wear OS watch.
Skip It If
iPhone owners and ultramarathoners who need week long battery should look elsewhere.
FINAL VERDICT
The Pixel Watch 3 is the most complete Android smartwatch you can buy, with a stunning display and health tracking that keeps getting better. Buy it discounted and it is an easy recommendation.
