It is available in two sizes…including the new 45 millimeter model and even though the screen is brighter and easier to use overall than the previous generation…it can run for up to two days on a charge. That’s a very big improvement. Speaking of the previous generation…Google, to its credit, is now bringing Wear OS 5 to both the Pixel Watch 1 and Pixel Watch 2. The Pixel Watch 3 meanwhile…comes with a six month free trial of Fitbit Premium giving users personal recommendations. That normally costs ten dollars a month or 80 dollars a year.
