In reality, my main cellphone is an iPhone, so the one cause I get to maintain utilizing my Pixel Watch 2 is as a result of I’ve Android telephones sitting on my desk (the Pixel 8 Professional specifically). The $1,000 Pixel 8 Professional that sits on my desk syncs with the Pixel Watch 2 and… makes it work. In any other case I’d have to modify to Android, and nobody is loopy sufficient to do this! Duh…
Jokes apart, I actually did develop to love my Pixel Watch 2, so it’s not a shock I’m now moderately excited to search out out the Pixel Watch 3 may convey a bunch of upgrades that’d make me… improve.
Pardon my French, however the Pixel Watch 1 kinda sucked, which isn’t the case with the Pixel Watch 2. That being mentioned, I’ve a protracted record of “issues that also want fixing”, and I believe the Pixel Watch 3 could be the one to handle my complaints as a Pixel Watch 2 consumer.
Right here’s why…
My 2023 Pixel Watch 2 has the identical bezel dimension because the 2019 Galaxy Watch Energetic, and that’s… not cool.
Evidently, the Pixel Watch 1 had many flaws I outlined in a number of tales right here on PhoneArena, which is why I used to be prepared to go away it (and the concept of the Pixel Watch) behind… if the Pixel Watch 2 didn’t ship. Nevertheless it did!
Google put collectively a strong Pixel Watch 2, with far longer battery life, a correct charger, and a processor that doesn’t decelerate throughout fundamental duties. However this didn’t make my Pixel Watch 2 excellent in any respect, and I did what I normally do once I don’t like a chunk of tech – I obtained paid to complain:
Right here’s a throwback to my Pixel Watch 3 wishlist from November 2023:
Quick ahead to at present, the most recent leaks and rumors across the Pixel Watch 3 appear to vow (just about) what I requested for! And I’m really (like genuinely) wanting ahead to the rumored 45mm Pixel Watch 3, which appears like one thing a “smartwatch particular person” would say. And as we already established, I’m undoubtedly not that man.
Gemini on the Pixel Watch 3? Feels like a no brainer.
Anyway… Whereas the rumored 45mm model of the Pixel Watch 3 already sounds thrilling (given how small the 41mm watch is), having spent much more time with the Pixel Watch 2, I’ve a number of extra recommendations for Google.
The VivoWatch 3 took main inspiration from the design of the Pixel Watch, however did one factor higher – the thinner bezels. That’s precisely what the Pixel Watch 3 ought to appear like too!
Even when I’ve small fingers (and I actually do), the 41mm Pixel Watch 2 has been method too small, and a few UI components are simply exhausting to hit – just like the tiny button that brings again your ongoing timers. Severely, it’s the dimensions of a booger. A small booger.
The plain apart, addressing the entire particular needs in my upgraded Pixel Watch 3 wishlist could be the various cherries on high of the Pixel Watch cake ( hate the cake reference however I couldn’t give you something higher).
Let’s be clear, Google’s solely objective needs to be to make the Pixel Watch 3 the default Android smartwatch for me, and (extra importantly) precise Android customers. So, let’s hope the Pixel Watch 3 can get there! That being mentioned, the competitors isn’t sleeping.
