- Best for 45mm battery lasts well beyond a day (up to ~48h in Tom's Guide field test; ~day-and-a-half-plus Engadget; close to 2 days TechRadar); New larger 45mm size is more comfortable and readable than the 41mm.
- Skip if 41mm sibling has only mediocre one-day battery life is a dealbreaker.

What reviewers say about the Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm)
Three whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, Engadget, TechRadar) covered the Pixel Watch 3 hands-on and all praise the 45mm specifically. Tom's Guide field-tested the 45mm battery to up to 48 hours; Engadget saw at least a day and a half; TechRadar saw close to two days. Consensus: the 45mm is the model to buy, with strong health tracking and an attractive polished design, though the case runs thick and the 41mm sibling's battery is only mediocre. No RTINGS/Notebookcheck lab data found.

Where reviewers disagree Little cross-source disagreement on the 45mm itself. The split is by size and by hard numbers rather than opinion. TechRadar's reviewer lived mainly with the 41mm and only relayed the 45mm's ~2-day battery via colleague Lance Ulanoff (secondhand), so TechRadar is marked tested=false. Engadget's primary reviewer wore the 41mm and had colleague Sam test the 45mm, though both wore units in the field. Only Tom's Guide directly wore the 45mm and states a hard ~48-hour figure; Engadget's field observation is more conservative at 'a day and a half.' Regarding thickness: Engadget flags the 12.3mm case as too thick, whereas Tom's Guide notes the same 12.3mm but says it rests fine on the wrist — so the thickness complaint counts to one source.
The sources (3)
battery life (45mm, field-tested with ~45 min/day GPS, sleep tracking, AOD): up to 48 hours · charge time from under 15% to 100% (with 30W adapter): a little over an hour
I consistently was able to wear the bigger watch for up to 48 hours before needing to top it off with a charge.
the larger 45mm Pixel Watch 3 — which starts at $50 more than the 41mm model — is not only worth the upgrade but is also my new favorite Android wearable by a wide margin
Lengthy multi-week calibration period for metrics like Target Load
battery life (45mm, field use): at least a day and a half, a few hours longer than 41mm
Both Sam and I found our review units typically lasted at least a day and a half, with the 45mm version staying around a few hours longer in general.
It's SOOO much nicer to have the big one.
I also found the Pixel Watch 3 a little too thick.
It easily lasts close to two days on a full charge, and that's even with the always-on display working 24/7
one of the best-looking smartwatches around, and delivers mostly excellent performance
Battery life isn't stellar on the smaller 41-millimeter size

Source: androidpolice.com (verified 2026-06-15) · corroborated by 9to5google.com. Android Police review: 45mm weight 37 g, same display/ECG/OS/GPS as 41mm, 420 mAh battery; reviewer observed 'easily 1.5-2-day' use with AOD. battery_hr corrected to 24 — Google's official rating is ~24 hr with AOD on for BOTH 41mm and 45mm (verified via Google Store and Android Authority); the prior 36 was a reviewer real-world figure, not the manufacturer all-day rating that this index standardizes on. priceUsd corrected to $399 — official Google launch MSRP for 45mm Wi-Fi (LTE $499); prior value $400 was an unsupported round-up.
