What do critics say about the Google Pixel Watch 3?
Android Central90
Google's strongest watch yet with a much improved display, long-lasting battery and tight Pixel integration, though durability and GPS accuracy are weaker.
Tom's Guide90
The 45mm model is a standout Android wearable with 48-hour battery life and comfortable fit, while the small version offers few gains over the previous watch.
Digital Trends90
The best smartwatch Google has made, with a bigger size, great hardware, strong battery and health features; only minor flaws like scratches and paywalled Fitbit extras.
Tech Advisor90
A feature-rich watch in two sizes with excellent design, better battery in the large model and improving Fitbit integration; the main complaint is cost.
TechRadar80
A handsome, Fitbit-flavoured smartwatch in two sizes that suits Pixel and non-Samsung Android users, though the glass front is not very durable and the small one lasts about a day.
WIRED80
A polished, best-looking smartwatch that finally feels like the Apple Watch for Android, best in 45mm, with accurate tracking, though battery is about a day.
