Say hello to the new Pixel Watch 3.

At the annual Pixel event on Western ArchivesTuesday, Google announced its new addition to the Pixel Watch series, which is available in two sizes for the first time: 41mm and 45mm.

That's a lot more screen real estate than on the Pixel Watch 2, which was only available in 41mm — and not just because of the bigger variant. The 41mm version of the Pixel Watch 3 has smaller bezels, meaning it has a 10% larger display than its predecessor. If you opt for the 45mm variant, you'll get 40% more screen, which should make a pretty big difference in nearly all usage scenarios.

The display has been improved in other ways, too. The Pixel Watch 3 sports Google's Actua Display, which has up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness.

Despite these improvements, battery life hasn't taken a hit. It's still rated at 24 hours of normal use (on both variants). If you turn on Battery Saver mode, the Pixel Watch 3 will deliver as much as 36 hours of battery life.

A couple of new features are there to help you manage your workouts and rest better, including a new, more detailed running dashboard in the Fitbit app, as well as readiness and cardio load tracking, telling you how much time you need to recover before your next workout.

Another new feature is the Morning Brief, a summary of your key health and fitness metrics, including sleep data, progress towards your weekly exercise goal, weather info, and more.

Some key details remained the same compared to the Pixel Watch 2, though. The chip that powers the watch is still Qualcomm's SW5100. And the Pixel Watch 3 (both variants) still has 2GB of SDRAM and 32GB of storage memory.

Loss of Pulse feature

As such, the Pixel Watch 3 can be a live-saving smartwatch for the unlikely event that you find yourself in a freak accident, or you're suffering the worst of your current illness condition. Loss of Pulse isn't available in every country, though; the list of countries at launch is the U.K, France, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
