I have been really happy with this watch. As a Google pixel user and it's awesome, I'm not convinced that's going to replace my Garmin yet, but comparing on runs that I've been on they are pretty close in accuracy when it comes to and distance at the end of the run. Heart rate is almost dead on to my heart rate strap.

Really impressed with this one. Wear os has come a long way since the first gens.

Thank you for this thorough review Des. Waiting for the DC Rainmaker's one too :) I'm seriously considering to buy the PW3 because I'm a Pixel 7 owner, but I'm so accustomed with my Garmin FR255 that I'm not convinced about switching to the PW3. Yet, it seems a pretty good Wear OS sport watch, but I think I would continue to use the FR255 for training. So, spending more than €400 to get a nice watch I would use on the right wrist besides the FR, it's definitely a waste of money.

Did google mention if they were going to support external heart rate monitors in the future? This would be useful for indoor activities like Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai classes where you want to wear an external heart rate monitor and not the watch itself.

I just love the UI of google … it’s seems so friendly ! Way more than the Apple Watch ! And it can evolve way more than apple “continuity” ecosystems

Great review. I had a great time watching it

Good video from an honest guy and thanks for the information, I have already bought mine and now understand more

Google needs to work also on altitude and cadence issues. At the beginning of every run altitude goes crazy for a short period of time. Tempo drops to 20 minutes per hour for a few seconds after you switch from run to walk during run ruining average tempo calculation.

Another great review thank you. I have the Garmin Venu 3 and it does seem like for folks like you and Ray from DC Rainmaker who are focused on fitness - the Garmin watches continue to be as good or better than this and you get many more days of battery. Also from what I can see there are more choices for 3rd party watch faces with Garmin that really provide customizable data (yes for a fee). I guess what I can't evaluate well is the smartwatch capabilities that are better with Pixel Watch.. On my Garmin I get my texts and WhatsApp messages with pictures inline and I can reply (on Android) with preset messages or use Google Assistant to reply with more. I am not sure what other smart features I would want but maybe ignorance is bliss here.

In my test runs with the 45mm PW3, I have been experiencing terrible cadence lock on the heart rate monitor. It usually matches my external chest strap perfectly for about 3 to 4 miles then goes into cadence lock crazy mode after and theres nothing I can do to correct it. On the last run I did it was showing 20bps higher than my chest strap for the final 4 miles. This was a big bummer as i was expecting to see very accurate heart rate tracking with the new algorithm. On a positive note, the GPS and pace tracking has been very solid.

considering other wearOs devices, this is quite impressive.

[WarpigN]

Yeah I'm definitely getting more than one day. I'm very surprised. I woke up this morning and I had 20% battery life after wearing it for two nights

[omawolf]

Nice video, thank you. Would you recommend the pw3 over the gw7?

[NervousPlanet]

Great review! Any chance you could tell us how it performs tracking swim workouts? I've heard mixed things about swimming with the older versions.

[cosemdesiatsedem]

Definitely great Android smartwatch. Congrats Google.

[aviationka]

Great review! The best channel 🎉 I am looking for a new watch to track my sleep, heart rate, ECG and steps. I am between Google Watch 3 or Garmin Venu 3 what is your recommendation between those to watches ? Thanks in advance cheers

Body responses is more than stress fyi, it's also excitement as well

Had a lot of problems getting mine actually. Preordered it but when it got "delivered" there was something inside that wasn't what I ordered and not my watch. I'm assuming FedEX stole my watch but I'm not sure. Anyhow I was able to still get a full refund and I ordered it from Walmart which was delivered a few hours ago. I just turned it on. I previously was using the Pixel Watch 2 as my daily driver. While I have a rather nasty big collection of watches, I do feel like the Pixel Watch has been good to go to work with. I do admit my big reason to upgrade is the new size, I'm glad to be done with the 41mm and while I still would have preferred a 47mm watch, the 45mm feels SO much better then the 41mm. I'd say my biggest complaint right now is I'm tired of them using the prongs for charging and rather they just finally go back to Wireless charging.

Great start to the improvements but Google needs to Slim down those Bezels !!

[Hannibalbartha]

Great video. Is it possible to assess the sleep tracking accuracy of the watch in terms of light, heavy, REM sleep, and awake ?
