Google fans have been treated to another exciting leak ahead of the official launch event on August 13th. This time, the spotlight is on the Pixel Watch 3, which has been spotted in a promotional video showcasing its larger XL sibling, new Fitbit-inspired features, and slimmer bezels.
A Bigger Watch, Bigger Possibilities
One of the most notable revelations from the leak is the introduction of a larger 45mm Pixel Watch 3 XL model. This marks a significant departure from the previous generations, which only offered a 41mm size. The additional screen real estate could pave the way for more informative watch faces, larger complications, and potentially a more immersive user experience.
Fitbit Features Make Their Mark
Google continues to integrate Fitbit’s health and fitness expertise into its wearable devices. The Pixel Watch 3 is expected to offer a range of new features, including:
- Real-time running recommendations: Runners can expect to receive personalized guidance during their workouts, helping them optimize their performance.
- Cardio Load: This metric provides insights into the intensity of your workouts, allowing you to track your overall training load.
- Readiness Score: Similar to Fitbit’s readiness score, this feature offers a daily assessment of your body’s preparedness for physical activity.
A Brighter Display and Slimmer Bezels
The Pixel Watch 3 is rumored to feature a significantly brighter display, making it easier to read in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the slimmer bezels will result in a more screen-to-body ratio, providing a more immersive viewing experience.
Same Charger, Different Features
Despite the numerous improvements, one thing that appears to remain unchanged is the charging mechanism. The Pixel Watch 3 will continue to use the same 4-pin charger as its predecessor.

Price & Release Date
The Google Pixel watch 3 will be released on 13 August in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Those sizes will be priced at $349 and $399, respectively.
While the Pixel Watch 3 is shaping up to be a compelling smartwatch option, it remains to be seen whether Google can address the battery life concerns that plagued some users of the previous generation. The claim of a 20% faster charging speed is certainly a step in the right direction, but longer battery life would be the ultimate selling point.
