You can buy the Google Pixel Watch 3 right now

After its announcement back in August, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is finally available for sale.

Users can pick one up from a range of retailers, starting at £349.

It has been a big week for smartwatch lovers. A combination of major global trade shows and international launch events from other brands has given us a range of new devices to paw over.

Last night brought us the all new Apple Watch Series 10 , for example. Before that, at IFA 2024 , we saw the launch of the rugged and reliable Amazfit T-Rex 3 .

Now, another new player has hit the market – and it's one you've already heard of. The Google Pixel Watch 3 was announced at the brand's launch event in August, and it's now available for purchase.

Priced from just £349 (approx. $456; AU$686) the Pixel Watch 3 is the latest iteration of the brands range. While it certainly appeared to be mostly an incremental upgrade, there are still a handful of specs worth shouting about.

For one, the watch now comes with a more high spec display. That's an Actua display, with up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness. Crucially, it also has just one nit of minimum brightness. That – combined with a 1-60Hz refresh rate – allows for an always-on display with a 24 hour battery life.

It's far from the greatest longevity on the market, though when compared to similar devices, it's a big step. The aforementioned Series 10, for example, will give up after a mere 18 hours.

Users will also have the choice between a 41mm and a 45mm display. Inside, the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset will power things, with a Cortex M33 co-processor for added performance.

It's ready for any situation, too. You'll get 5ATM of water resistance on board, which is good for a submersion of around 50m. Plus, it's IP68 water and dust resistance rated.

For anyone looking to snag a new smartwatch right now, there's a lot of options out there. The Pixel Watch 3 is certainly a solid sounding option, though, and could put Google's offering squarely on the map.
