Google's upcoming Pixel Watch series aims to address the criticisms faced by its predecessors. A significant leak suggests that the Pixel Watch 3 will come with improvements in display, battery life, and more. Insiders have disclosed several details about the forthcoming smartwatch; let's delve into them.
Google Pixel Watch 3: What are the new upgrades?
The leaks shared with AndroidAuthority provide a sneak peek at the Pixel Watch 3. Early reports suggested that the smartwatch would come in two size variants, which this leak confirms. The smart wearable will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Both sizes will offer cellular and WiFi options, with the larger version possibly being named the Pixel Watch 3 XL.

Users of the original Pixel Watch often complained about the display and battery life. The Pixel Watch 3 might address these concerns with thinner bezels, now measuring just 4.5mm compared to 5.5mm on its predecessor. Additionally, the screen will feature a peak brightness of 2000 nits, up from the 1000 nits offered by the Pixel Watch 2. UWB support, which was anticipated for the Pixel Watch 2, may finally debut with the Pixel Watch 3.
This aligns with earlier reports where the smartwatch was spotted in FCC certification. The inclusion of UWB means the Pixel Watch 3 will support Find My Device and may also offer functionalities like a Digital Car Key, as various carmakers already support this technology. Finally, Google is likely to launch the new smartwatch in multiple color options, including Silver, Black, and Gold cases, paired with Hazel, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Rose Quartz bands.
