Now that Google has officially announced the Pixel Watch 3 after a flood of leaks and rumors, Android users have even more wearables to choose from. Google’s latest smartwatch will launch on September 10 and will start at $349.99, while the last-generation Pixel Watch 2 will cost $249.99. Unfortunately, Google has discontinued the original model, though it’s still available for purchase from third-party retailers.
With nearly identical names and similar raised displays, it can be strenuous to tell which watch is which — let alone which one to buy. But they’re more different than you might think, and each offers more features and capabilities than its predecessor. The modern Pixel Watch 3 offers some advanced running features, for example, along with a 45mm configuration that’s probably the best option for those with larger wrists. Still, if price is your primary concern, the previous-generation model still has a lot to offer.
