Google is planning to address how its Wear OS wearable is too small, with two Pixel Watch 3 sizes in development for this year...

What other changes would you want to see in the Pixel Watch 3?

    Battery life. IMO it’s competing against Garmin watches that have 5-14 day between charges.

      Are they competing though? I think they’re competing more with Samsung’s watch and apples watch.

      Garmin doesn’t have much in the line of smart watches. Their watches are fitness watches.

        I think they are. The Venu line is a smartwatch.

          Ah okay. I have a forerunner and I’d never compare it to a pixel watch. If the venue is smarter then it makes sense.

          I wonder if they’re as “smart” or intuitive though. I have never used either so I’m just wondering.

      i dont know if it is but a 14-day battery life would get me to think about smartwatches.

        I have a Fitbit that has around nine days before it wants a recharge. That’s plenty.

      Definitely, I hope they optimize Wear OS more as battery life is among the main things keeping me from getting a smartwatch. Haven’t checked Garmin watches in a long time but now that I do yeah the Venu 3S is definitely tempting.

        I look at the Garmins periodically. They look great, but they don’t have assistant integration, which I think I want.
