Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm, Champagne Gold)

Is the Google Pixel Watch 3 compatible with iPhones?

No, this smartwatch only works with Google Pixel phones and Android devices running Android 10.0 or newer. It cannot connect to iPhones or iOS devices. The watch requires the Pixel Watch app and Google services that are not available on Apple devices.

How accurate is the GPS tracking for running?

The built-in GPS provides precise location tracking for outdoor activities. It connects to multiple satellite systems for enhanced accuracy during runs, walks and cycling. The GPS works independently without needing your phone nearby, making it ideal for phone-free workouts.

What's included with Fitbit Premium integration?

The watch includes advanced Fitbit features like personalised workout recommendations, detailed sleep analysis and stress management tools. Google AI uses your fitness data to suggest optimal training plans. However, some premium Fitbit features may require a separate subscription after the trial period.

How long does the battery actually last during GPS use?

The 24-hour battery life applies to typical daily use including notifications, heart rate monitoring and occasional GPS. Continuous GPS tracking for long runs or hikes will drain the battery faster, typically lasting 6-8 hours. The USB-C fast charging can quickly top up the battery between activities.

Can I make phone calls directly from the watch?

This Wi-Fi model cannot make independent phone calls as it lacks cellular connectivity. You can answer calls when connected to your phone via Bluetooth. For standalone calling, you would need the LTE version of the Pixel Watch 3.

What health metrics does the watch monitor continuously?

The watch tracks heart rate, sleep patterns, stress levels and body temperature throughout the day. It also monitors heart rate variability for readiness assessment. The ECG feature can record electrocardiograms when manually activated, though this requires proper positioning and stillness.

How does the fall detection feature work?

The watch uses accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to detect sudden impacts and unusual movement patterns that suggest a fall. If a hard fall is detected and you don't respond within 60 seconds, it can automatically contact emergency services and share your location with designated contacts.

What's the difference between 41mm and 45mm sizes?

The 45mm version offers a larger, brighter display that's easier to read during workouts and in bright conditions. It also has slightly better battery life due to the larger battery capacity. The 41mm is more compact and lighter, making it more comfortable for people with smaller wrists.
