"fine-tuned for fitness" the product presentation page scrupulously avoids talking about sport and systematically uses "fitness" instead.
Anyone who has ever tried to use Fibit + Google Health for their training knows that it's going to be a disaster.
This product seems destined for those who like something big and bright on their wrist.
In principle, this watch has no built-in GPS. One day's autonomy is therefore well below that any entry-level sport watches released in the last 5 years could offer.

- Beretta_Vexee 2y agoNo reference is ever made to a positioning system, whether GPS, Galileo, GNSS or Glosnav. DC Rainmaker confirms in its test that this watch is not equipped with a GPS chip. "Notably, the Pixel Watch 3 doesn't include dual-frequency/multiband GPS/GNSS. " https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/08/google-pixel-watch-3-hands-on.html https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/08/google-pixel-watch-3-han... It's not clear whether the watch has a single-band GPS or no GPS at all. The fact that they don't communicate one it is not encouraging.
- spywaregorilla 2y ago> "Notably, the Pixel Watch 3 doesn't include dual-frequency/multiband GPS/GNSS." That doesn't mean "no GPS" Weird cherry pick from a larger quote that clearly implies it has GPS: > Again, this is an area I’ll dive into during my in-depth review down the road, looking at both the heart rate accuracy in running, as well as various changes they’ve made around GPS/GNSS accuracy. Notably, the Pixel Watch 3 doesn’t include dual-frequency/multiband GPS/GNSS. However, as I’ve constantly said: I don’t care how a company arrives hardware-wise at an accurate GPS track, as long as they do so. We’ve seen companies with multiband implementations do worse than other companies without multiband. So as long as Google can deliver accurate GPS tracks, I’m happy.
- scblock 2y agoYou may wish to work on your reading comprehension. "Does not have multiband GNSS" is not the same as "no GPS", and the watch specifications clearly state is supports the GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellites.
