GoogleGoogle Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) Latest Model - Android Smartwatch, Heart Rate Tracking, Fitbit Advanced Running, Fitness Insights, 24-Hour Battery - Matte Black Aluminum Case - Obsidian Band - Wi-Fi

This is a fantastic watch. I've been a long-time Fossil smartwatch user. My Fossil Gen 6 watch started acting up, and I recently learned that Fossil has exited smartwatches. Once I switched to the Pixel 3, I was thrilled and do not miss my Gen 6 at all. I should have switched sooner.My 2nd Fossil replacement alternative was the OnePlus 2. The Pixel looked better (to me) and has Wear OS 5 which is the most recent version. It was hard to decide between the two using online descriptions and reviews, but I am happy with my choice. The Pixel battery life is better than the Fossil, even with the always on display, and easily gets me though the day. The charge may not last as long as the OnePlus 2, but I do not wear it overnight and instead put the watch on the charger, so the extra battery life is not an issue for me. Others may see this differently.The Pixel 3 screen is MUCH brighter and sharper than the Fossil, the processor is faster, and the watch operation is intuitive and easy to learn. Activating the watch, setting it up, and switching from the Fossil was quick and easy since most of the apps and info are tied to my Google account.Long-time irritants with the Fossil were how the end of the watch band kept flopping loose from its holder band, and how the crown button constantly activated when I sharply bent my wrist. The Pixel fixes both of these issues. The Pixel watch band is a bit tricky to attach at first (YouTube helps), but it works MUCH better than the Fossil and is more comfortable. The Pixel has a nice feature where you can rotate the watch display 180 degrees (make it upside down) so you can wear the crown button on the left side of the watch. No more accidental app activations, restarts, or 911 calls!My primary watch use is for business to monitor emails and texts, and to see/screen/take phone calls. All these work beautifully, and are handled much better than with the Fossil. Even the weather app is upgraded in the new OS, and there is a timer that can be added to the tiles. I use my watch secondarily for the health features, and I was sad (at first) to learn Google Fit would not be on the Pixel. I used Fit on the Fossil to track steps and distance walked. The new FitBit basic version is a true upgrade and gives me all the info I had before, plus a lot more. I did not opt for the free Premium FitBit trial.I bought and recommend a set of the plastic watch covers for scratch and impact protection, and a charging stand. Both work great.

LOVE this watch!I bought this to track POTS and monitor for other heart symptoms. It's great for the HR tracker, ECG app and bonus sleep tracking/fitness tracking.The battery life is slightly less than some other similar items, but the quality and the smoothness of use is worth it.

I painstakingly researched fitness watches for the past year. It was really important that I find something less than $350 that actually provided HR accuracy comparable with Polar monitors. All of the research led me to the Google Pixel 3 and it has not disappointed! I have tested it out and it lines up with my Polar band with only trivial deviations of just 2-5 bpm that only last a few seconds.Even during high intensity intervals in workouts, or when unexpected tachycardia events happen, it notices and picks up on the changes quickly. This thing blows Fitbit out of the water. I've struggled with Fitbit's inaccuracy for years. That information is important. For example, let's say you're trying to gain muscle mass and are balancing calories in/calories out as part of your plan. Fitbit is going to lead you astray. If it's not getting your HR correct, then it's not getting your calorie burn correct. For me, it was between 300-400 cals a day below what I was actually burning.If you need a watch with excellent HR accuracy for $350 or less, this is a great choice. I purchased the pink one because it was on sale for under $300 just for being pink, I guess :) I haven't had any issues with connectivity or user interface. The screen is clear and easy to navigate. Sleep info is also accurate.Make sure you buy a c port charger base though. It comes with the charger cable, but no base and it's not your standard USB connection. Happy training!

I bought this to replace my fitbit that suddenly stopped working. So far after 3 months this watch is working well. My phone is connected and the calls come through great. The display is great. I'm not sure it calculates my calories accurately when it tracks my spinning class, but that isn't a huge deal. I do recommend this item.

Absolutely love my smart watch! This is my first brand name smart watch and I'm very satisfied with it. I like that it has Fitbit technology integrated with it as well. It is comfortable to wear and I love that I can change the band easily. The battery life is ok but I do wish it lasted longer though.

I love the Google watch, it works well with the pixel phone, it wears nicely, also has Fitbit built in. It syncs great, definitely worth the money and much cheaper then other electronics watches.. it also charges quick when on charger sometimes faster then the cellphone.

I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. When my Fitbit Versa died I waited a while before buying another. Instead I tried a couple of cheaper watches but didn't like the app they used. I missed the Fitbit app. I didn't want to order another Versa so I decided to try the Google Pixel 3 even though the watch was round and not square as my previous watch. However, I find it much more comfortable to wear and it's more attractive than I thought it would be. I love how it functions and the choices of watch faces. I also like the fall notification feature since I'm in my 80's. I normally don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about something. I felt compelled to share my joy with this watch. Glad I bought it.
