Pixel Watch 3: How to Pre-order
According to our Google Pixel Watch 3 review, notable improvements when compared to previous iterations of the watch include up to 40% more usable screen space, a brighter display, faster charging, advanced running data, a revamped readiness score with training guidance, deeper integrations with Google apps and more. The only downside noted was the fact that Fitbit Premium is still necessary to take advantage of some AI-powered health metrics.
Pre-ordering your Google Pixel Watch 3 is simple. First, you can choose whether you want the 41mm or the 45mm size. Then you can pick your color. Next you'll decide if you want to upgrade to 4G LTE, so you can stay connected even when your phone isn't close by. You'll also have the option to get up to $350 back when you trade in an eligible smartwatch. Last but not least, you can add device protection for $4/month.
Although there are currently no deals on the smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is definitely something to get excited about — especially if you're in the market for a watch to complement your Google smartphone. We recommend pre-ordering the Google Pixel Watch 3 today.
