Google is gearing up to address a longstanding issue with its upcoming Pixel Watch 3.

While details about the specific dimensions of the two sizes remain unconfirmed, the report suggests that the larger variant could feature a slightly larger battery. This move aligns with the trend set by competitors like Samsung and Apple, both of which offer users a choice between different watch diameters in their respective smartwatch models.

Up until now, Google has only provided the Pixel Watch in a 41mm option. While this compact size has been appreciated by many users, there has been a growing demand for larger watches with more screen real estate and enhanced battery life. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 and Apple's Watch Series 9, for instance, offer users options ranging from 40mm to 47mm, catering to a diverse audience with varied preferences.

The introduction of a larger-sized Pixel Watch 3 could prove to be a strategic move for Google, allowing the company to expand the appeal of its smartwatch to a broader audience. For users who prioritize the aesthetic and functionality of larger watches, this potential development may mark a significant shift in the Pixel Watch lineup.

Despite the anticipation surrounding the size options, there is currently no information available regarding any changes to the display of the upcoming Pixel Watch 3. However, a hint from a previously filed patent adds an intriguing layer to the speculation. The patent suggests that Google is exploring the integration of new gesture recognition sensors in the next Pixel Watch, aiming to simplify navigation on the smartwatch while working within the confines of limited screen space.
