Pixel Watch 3 leak shows thinner bezels and new 45mm model

The Pixel Watch 3 looks like it will have a larger screen than the Watch 2, thanks to thinner bezels. Leaked marketing materials shared by Android Headlines suggest that the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 will offer 10 percent more screen than the Watch 2 in the same amount of space.

The Pixel Watch 3 could also have a brighter display — up to 2,000 nits, double the peak brightness of the Pixel 2 — as well as 20 percent faster charging. The spec sheet, if legitimate, confirms the previously leaked 45mm Watch and states that both sizes will have up to 24 hours of battery life with always-on display enabled or up to 36 hours with a new Battery Saver mode.

The marketing materials also mention new fitness features, including the ability to create custom runs as well as “audio and haptic cues” that tell you when to sprint, cool down, or maintain pace. Additionally, a new Fitbit “morning brief” will offer a summary of health and fitness metrics to help you plan your workouts. These new features may eventually come to older models of the Pixel Watch, something Google has done in the past.

Other changes revealed in the leak include support for offline Google Maps, as well as the ability to view your Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell’s live feeds from the Google Home app. It also looks like you’ll be able to easily swap between photo and video when controlling your Pixel phone’s camera app from the watch. A previous leak suggests the Pixel Watch 3 will get ultra wideband support for better location tracking, but the marketing materials don’t mention that.
