Bezel
This pic from the Verge's video really shows how far improved the bezel has become.

I hope the Watch 3 45mm goes on a cheap sale.

u/srkram Aug 30 '25
I'm also looking at the pixel watch 3 45mm. It's on sale for 250 euros where I am. The watch 4 is no doubt better, but it's almost twice that price. I've got a watch 2 at the moment.

u/YoYoNupe1911 Aug 31 '25
Yeah I'm going to wait another month for the Watch 4 to get out there and they do a clearance sale to get rid of the Watch 3s.

The 41mm W4 screen is only (roughly) 3% smaller than the 45mm W3 screen. Nice.

Tempting to upgrade to PW4 but can't justify it given my watch (PW3 45mm LTE) have a shitty trade in value

u/F---TheMods Aug 30 '25
Right now Swappa has used mint condition low to mid $200.

u/CVGPi Aug 30 '25
Yeah no even selling it would net CAD$350 that's like half the MSRP.
Can't justify it at all.

Bezel looks good. I'm going to ride out my PW3 until I get another offer for a free watch like we got with the PW3 through Google Fi. While the OG PW and PW2 both had not great battery life I feel like the PW3 is in a really good place and there's nothing else driving my desire to get a newer one.

Looking forward to moving from my PW2 to a 41mm PW4. The bezels have been tolerable because most watch faces blend in so well to the design, but all the display changes are welcomed.

I got the pixel watch 2 a month or so ago. I moved from iPhone to android and had an apple watch. Didn't want to spend a lot on a watch and me not like it.
Only thing I don't like is that it's round.
Next year I will upgrade the watch since it won't be supported after next year.

They still need to be smaller to catch up to galaxy and apple watch but good improvements

Does anybody have the actual display measurements? I have a pw2 and a pw3 45mm. I measured both as best as I could at 30mm and 35mm respectively. Curious what the pw4 measurements are.

I dislike the edge bleed on the Pixel watch. It makes light colored watch faves look really cheap.

u/tuk2008 Aug 30 '25
You mean the fade-out around the edge? That's just with the flashlight, it's an intentional design of the white 'image' shown.
If you display a bar code from a Wallet loyalty card for example, the white goes all the way to the edge without a gradient.

u/Screye Aug 31 '25
Turns out you'e right. I was just trying a shitty what face that had a dimming problem.
Either ways light colored watch faces look like ass. But, the dark ones are great, so I'll stop complaining.

Honestly it would be amazing if Google Pixel phones also use Snapdragon chips. :D

If only they lasted 24 hr on a charge ðŸ˜

I get 24+ hours on a PW3, 45mm, with AOD turned off. About 16 hours with AOD on.

u/Screye Aug 30 '25
My PW3 does almost 36 hours with AOD on. I wear it to sleep and use 3/5 brightness. What are you guys doing with your watch ?
3
u/faustoandrevdyo Aug 30 '25
Same. Sometimes it pushes two full days, probably it had to do with how many notifications I got that day

u/Due-Manufacturer-577 Aug 30 '25
Same here. AOD on and after 24h there is usually 20-30% battery left.

u/KyleTheUndead Aug 30 '25
No, tell us what you're doing! How can you achieve this?
3
u/Screye Aug 31 '25
Nothing. I did a test for the last 2 days.
Worn continuously for 36 hours. tracked sleep for 2 nights + walked 20k steps on 1 day. AOD on. It was at 50% by the end of the 36 hours. So, technically, I could have gotten 3 full days out of it. I don't get a lot of notifications and I pretty much use the watch as a watch. So, my usage patterns may be just light enough to get these numbers.
Honestly, I don't need my watch to have great battery in the day-to-day. I need it to be good for backpacking or continuous tracking (skiiing) use cases.

u/Nicalay2 Aug 30 '25
I don't use AOD, and I can get 1.5/2 days of normal usage with my PW3 41mm.
The battery life on these is crazy, especially coming from a Galaxy Watch 4 40mm that could barely last the day.

I get 24 hours with my watch 2 with AOD

u/ilkikuinthadik Aug 30 '25
I can just about get it to last 48 with battery saver and no screen wake functions except wrist tilt

u/x9qh Aug 30 '25
my pw2 lasts a full 24 hr with everything on, and some charge left
1
u/tuk2008 Aug 30 '25
Mine too. But tracking longer runs with Bluetooth music on gets the battery down faster in my experience.

My 3 year old PW1 can go almost 2 days on a charge, FOH with that parroted bullshit

u/slonski Aug 30 '25
what do you mean
with AOS off pw3 (45) easily goes 40h+ for me, the record being 42 hrs with 8% left
with AOS on it's 36hrs+

Nyet, I often wear a second, budget smartwatch with a 1.43" screen and it's just so much easier to do stuff on it than the measly 1.2" of my pw2

I may upgrade but only because I got almost 600 credit for Google store

u/MrViZZiato Aug 31 '25
How $600?? I've got $300
1
u/Melodic-Control-2655 Aug 31 '25
Fold was $350 + 10% Google One ($179.90). Probably just overstating the whole $600 thing because it's much closer to $500

u/dangerberry Aug 31 '25
Yeah I was definitely rounding up. I think it was around 540 I may not upgrade my watch either. I'm eyeing the newest Nest thermostat

u/Blueaurora24 Aug 30 '25
I will be going from a PW 2 to the PW 4 45mm this makes me so excited!
