With a faster processor and improved sensors, Google's Pixel Watch 2 (review) was a welcome update over the original Pixel Watch. However, the smartwatch's round build remained unchanged, with a 1.2-inch screen in a 41 mm case size that some fans griped as miniscule. Google is now rumored to bring two variants of the Pixel Watch 3, and that may include one with a bigger display.

Google Pixel Watch 3's bigger display and battery

As cited by 9to5Google's unnamed source, Google is rumored to launch the Pixel Watch 3 in two sizes later this year, which will introduce a new option with a larger display. There are no details on what the exact screen radius or dimensions of the larger Pixel Watch 3 are. However, the internet search giant should likely retain the 41 mm as the smaller option.

While all these are just mere speculation, the bigger Google Pixel Watch 3 may also feature a larger battery capacity to compensate for the increased viewing real estate and a possibly higher display resolution. More importantly, the larger battery capacity is the expected solution considering the short battery life happens to be one of the biggest shortcomings of the two Pixel Watch generations.

You can forget about Quick Charging the Pixel Watch 2.

Apart from the display and battery, we just don't know whether other notable differences in specifications and functions would make it a more capable smartwatch apart from the size.

Will it be called the Google Pixel Watch 3 Pro?

At the same time, it's unclear what this new Pixel Watch 3 variant will be called. With the current naming convention of Google's Pixel devices, a Pixel Watch 3 Pro is a fitting choice, although we're not heavily betting on it if there are no distinguishable features apart from the footprint.

Google could announce the new Pixel Watch 3 in October, which is the same time as the Pixel 9's expected debut. Interestingly, we might receive surprises in the upcoming Google I/O where Android 15 and the mid-range Pixel 8a will take center stage. Moving forward, we should hear more details uncovered about the smartwatch lineup.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
