Following the recent leaks about its wristband options, promotional material for the Pixel Watch 3 has emerged online, showcasing several significant features, including display enhancements and advanced health metrics.
Display Upgrades
According to Android Headlines, the Pixel Watch 3 will come in two models with notable display improvements. One model will offer “10 percent more screen” compared to the Pixel Watch 2, likely the 41mm version, while the other will offer “40 percent more screen,” likely the 45mm version. Both models will feature Actua displays, similar to those found on the Pixel 8, capable of reaching a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, double that of the Pixel Watch 2. The promotional material also mentions the displays will be “ultra responsive,” which may indicate a higher refresh rate, although specifics aren’t provided.
Fitness and Health Features
The Pixel Watch 3 will include “Advanced Running Metrics,” a tool for creating custom cardio workouts. This feature provides real-time guidance through audio and haptic cues, directing users on when to sprint, cool down, or maintain pace during exercise.
Additionally, the “Morning Brief” feature will provide a daily summary of vital health metrics, including sleep quality and a readiness score for the day. The watch will also introduce “Cardio Load,” a metric that tracks heart performance, potentially advising users on whether they’re overexerting themselves or not pushing hard enough.
First-Party App Enhancements
Outside of fitness, Google plans to update several of its first-party apps. Notably, Google Maps on the Pixel Watch 3 will support offline maps, allowing users to navigate without a data connection.
These leaks suggest that the Pixel Watch 3 will offer significant upgrades in both hardware and software, with a particular focus on fitness and health features.
