It’s finally August! We’re now just days away from Google‘s latest Pixel device launch. We’ve already seen extensive details on the Pixel 9 lineup. Now, thanks to a report from Android Headlines, we have the final piece of the Pixel Watch 3 puzzle: pricing.

As previously rumored, Google is expected to launch two Pixel Watch 3 models: a standard size and a larger variant, possibly called the Pixel Watch 3 XL.

The smaller model, likely measuring 41mm, is reported to start at $349 for the Wi-Fi version, unchanged from its predecessor. However, the LTE model sees a $50 increase and will retail at $449. The larger Pixel Watch 3 XL coming in 45mm size will retail for $399 for the Wi-Fi model and $499 for the LTE variant. 

The Pixel Watch 3 series retails at a higher price compared to some of its competitors. For example, the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 starts at a lower price of $299 for its 40mm Wi-Fi-only version. Google categorizes Pixel Watches as premium-segment wearables and the trend seems to continue with the Pixel Watch 3.

Beyond pricing, previous leaks have hinted at several new features and upgrades for the Pixel Watch 3. Both models are said to feature an Actua display with up to 2,000 nits peak brightness, an upgrade from the predecessor’s AMOLED screen with 1,000 nits brightness. 

Feature-wise, the Google Pixel Watch 3 will have the ability to view Nest Doorbells and Cameras on the watch for added convenience. Users can access Maps offline and use Google Wallet for payments. Additionally, the smartwatch will allow users to control their Pixel phone’s camera, switching between photo and video modes.

For health and fitness tracking, the Google Pixel Watch 3 will support advanced running metrics, including custom runs, audio and haptic cues, and various metrics to improve form. The device will feature a readiness score to determine if you’re ready for a workout or need to rest. The cardio load will measure your heart rate to assess if you’re under or overtraining. 

Google is also introducing a new Morning Brief feature summarizing each metric, including sleep quality and readiness score. The Pixel Watch 3 will reportedly offer a 24-hour battery life with AOD enabled and 36 hours with battery-saving mode.

Google’s annual “Made by Google” events were usually held in October-November. This time Google surprised everyone and announced that the next event will be held in California in August. This big event is expected to launch the Pixel 9 series, Pixel Watch 3 XL, and the new Android 15 version.

Google surprises everyone by making the big event earlier

While Google was expected to hold its new event between October and November, the latest official announcement surprised everyone. The “Made by Google” event was announced to be held on August 13th. This surprised many users and Google has moved all plans earlier. We don’t know why Google is doing this, maybe their new products are officially ready for release. That’s why they might be doing the new event earlier.

At the Made by Google event, Google will announce the Pixel 9 series, the Pixel Watch 3 XL, and the new Android 15 version. Pixel 9 series consists of 4 different models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. While announcing the new Pixel 9 series, Google also plans to introduce the Pixel Watch 3 XL. One of the reasons to be curious about this event is Android 15. With the announcement of Android 15, stable Android 15 updates will gradually start to be rolled out to devices. The new Android operating system is expected to offer users a more optimized experience.

Google threw its hat in the ring with the Pixel Watch series, entering the competitive smartwatch market a couple years ago. Pixel Watch and Watch 2 featured a clean design with rounded edges and modern design lines. The newly leaked render images of the Google Pixel Watch 3 XL also seem to continue Google’s classic design approach.

One of the common complaints on the Pixel Watches has been the small screen size. With the new images leaked by the Android Headlines team, confirming that Google is finally working on a smartwatch with a larger screen. Two different models are expected launch: Pixel Watch 3 and Watch 3 XL. Both watches are likely to have the same specs, with the only difference being a larger screen and a larger battery in the XL model.

Google Pixel Watch 3 XL features only one button, the digital crown. According to leaks, the Pixel Watch 3 XL will come with a 1.45-inch display, slightly larger than the previously released Pixel Watches with a 1.2-inch display. Additionally, the thickness of the watch is 13.89mm. The dimensions of the Watch 3 XL are 45mm x 45mm x 13.89mm.
