In ourGoogle Pixel Watch 2 reviewwe called it “lighter, faster, and definitely better than the original” – so what will the third generation of the smartwatch offer? A larger size for larger wrists, according to the latest from the rumor mill.
As per sources speaking to9to5Google, thePixel Watch3 will have a 45mm size option, to go with the existing 41mm size. It’s something that a lot of people have been requesting, apparently, and it seemsGoogle’s engineers have taken note.
This rumor isn’t a completely new one – we heardsimilar unconfirmed rumblingslast month, though specific sizes weren’t mentioned – but this is now more evidence that a bigger Google Pixel Watch 3 is indeed on the way, perhaps later this year.
It’s a move that makes a lot of sense too. TheApple Watch 9comes in 41mm and 45mm sizes of course, while you can pick up theSamsung Galaxy Watch 6in 40mm and 44mm sizes, so Google is a bit late to this particular party.
New earbuds on the way?
From the same source, 9to5Google has heard that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are in development, following up from theGoogle Pixel Buds Prothat launched in 2022. There’s no yet on when they might actually see the light of day.
There haven’t been many previous leaks and rumors around either the Google Pixel 3 or the Google Pixel Buds 2 Pro, but it would appear that Google is still committed to the wider Pixel device ecosystem as we go further into 2024.
Most recently in Wear OS smartwatch news, theOnePlus Watch 2has arrived, with an impressive 100-hour battery life – helped bynew battery-saving innovationsin Wear OS that we’re hopeful are going to show up on the Pixel Watch 3 too.
