There’s a good chance theGoogle Pixel Watch 3is going to be officially launched later this month, and leaks around the smartwatch are continuing to appear – with the latest giving us an idea of its pricing.
This information comes courtesy ofAndroid Headlines, and puts the starting price at $349 (that’s roughly £275 / AU$535, thoughGoogleis unlikely to use a straight currency conversion). As you’ll see from ourGoogle Pixel Watch 2 review, that wearable also launched at a price of $349 in the US (and £349 / AU$549 elsewhere).
That’s for the 41mm model with Wi-Fi apparently, with the LTE-enabled version set to cost $449 (about £350 / AU$690). That’s a jump of $50 over the equivalentPixel Watch2 model, so it would seem the prices aren’t being kept the same across the board.
We’re also getting a bigger 45mm Pixel Watch this time around. That is set to cost $399 (about £315 / AU$615) for the Wi-Fi model and $499 (about £390 / AU$765) for the Wi-Fi+LTE model. Theoriginal Pixel Watchand the Pixel Watch 2 both came in one size, so there’s nothing really to compare these prices to in terms of previous models.
Price comparisons
If this pricing leak ends up being accurate, then the Pixel Watch 3 will be starting at a higher level than the recently unveiledSamsung Galaxy Watch 7, which can be yours from $299 / £289 / AU$549 and up.
The Pixel Watch 3 will also be competing directly with theApple Watch 9. The starting price forApple’s smartwatch is $399 / £399 / AU$649, so the Pixel Watch 3 is set to be slightly cheaper. Next month we’re probably going to see the unveiling of theApple Watch 10, which may change the calculations.
We’ve now seen plenty of information leak out around the Pixel Watch 3, though none of it is confirmed yet. The wearable is apparently going tocome with ultra-widebandthis year, as well as a selection of moreadvanced health features.
