Google’s Pixel Watch 3 has a peak brightness of 2000nits, which is twice as bright as the second-generation Pixel Watch that was launched in 2023.
Google launched the Pixel Watch 3 in India on Tuesday, the company’s third-generation smartwatch. It offers up to 36 hours of battery life and comes in two display sizes. The launch coincided with the unveiling of the latest Pixel 9 series smartphones at the Made by Google hardware event. Google also introduced the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the first truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones equipped with a Tensor chip designed by the company.

Pixel Watch 3 Specifications
The Pixel Watch 3 features two display sizes — 41mm and 45mm — both equipped with Google’s Actua display, offering peak brightness of 2,000 nits, double that of the previous model, and the ability to drop to 1 nit in dark environments. The bezels are over 16 percent thinner compared to its predecessor.
The smartwatch allows users to plan complex run routines and track details such as cadence, stride length, and vertical oscillation. It also includes new readiness and cardio load tracking features to aid in recovery. Fitbit users will have access to a Morning Brief feature that provides a summary of health information, including overnight changes in metrics.
The battery life on the Pixel Watch 3 remains consistent with its predecessor, offering up to 24 hours of use with the always-on display enabled. However, with the battery saver mode activated, it can last up to 36 hours. Notably, the 41mm variant of the Pixel Watch 3 now supports a 20% faster charging rate compared to the previous generation.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 Specifications
Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the first TWS earbuds from the company to feature the Tensor A1 chip. This processor is claimed to process audio 90 times faster than the speed of sound and delivers twice the effectiveness in active noise cancellation (ANC) compared to the original Pixel Buds Pro, thanks to Google’s Silent Seal 2.0 technology that also targets higher-frequency noise.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 come with 11mm dynamic drivers and are designed for optimized music playback through a dedicated signal path provided by the Tensor A1 chip. Updated algorithms also enhance the Clear Calling feature, reducing ambient noise during phone calls. The earbuds offer seamless audio switching between Pixel devices, including the Pixel Watch.
Additionally, the Conversation Detection feature automatically pauses media playback and switches to transparency mode when the user starts talking, then re-enables ANC and resumes playback once the conversation ends. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 also integrate with Google’s Find My Device network, allowing users to locate the earbuds and charging case on a map and ring them when nearby.
