GOOGLE PIXEL WATCH 3
Pixel Watch 3 introduced a new, larger size (45mm). We scaled up the iconic design, while also making some important updates to increase active area by 12% over the last generation, and reducing bezels by 17%, and doubling the brightness to 2K Nits.
BIGGER, BETTER
We extensively researched the right diameter that sits comfortably on the wrist, while maximizing display.. Along with the new size, we introduced a new housing color, nature inspired Hazel in a beautiful matte finish..
PERFORMANCE LOOP BAND
We introduced a new type of band alongside Pixel Watch 3, the Performance Loop. Soft, comfortable and micro adjustable, its a versatile band that was designed with the upmost detail in mind.
EXPANDING THE COLLECTION
Alongside adding an additional larger sku, we also worked on expanding our existing band collection 45mm versions to offer comparable choice and versatility. We launched with 45mm Active, Sport, Performance Leather, Woven, Classic Leather and Metal Links bands.
