Its U.S. launch prices in 2024 ranged from $349.99 to $499.99, depending on size and connectivity. Those are historical list prices—not current offers—and they do not verify the exact pre-launch pricing rumor.
What colors does the Pixel Watch 3 come in?
Google’s Pixel Watch 3 specifications list these case-and-band combinations. The band color does not indicate that the watch case has the same finish.
| Size | Case and included Active Band |
|---|---|
| 41 mm | Matte Black Aluminum Case / Obsidian Active Band |
| 41 mm | Polished Silver Aluminum Case / Porcelain Active Band |
| 41 mm | Champagne Gold Aluminum Case / Hazel Active Band |
| 41 mm | Polished Silver Aluminum Case / Rose Quartz Active Band |
| 45 mm | Matte Black Aluminum Case / Obsidian Active Band |
| 45 mm | Polished Silver Aluminum Case / Porcelain Active Band |
| 45 mm | Matte Hazel Aluminum Case / Hazel Active Band |
The selections are not identical by size: Champagne Gold and Rose Quartz combinations appear on Google’s 41 mm list, while Matte Hazel appears on its 45 mm list.
How much did the Pixel Watch 3 cost at U.S. launch?
In its announcement dated August 13, 2024, Google gave these U.S. launch list prices. It said sales availability would begin September 10, 2024; that historical date does not establish present-day stock or pricing. Google’s Pixel Watch 3 announcement is the source for the figures.

#1 Best Overall
- The Google Pixel Watch 3 is designed for performance, with advanced fitness from Fitbit[1,2]; the 45mm screen is twice as bright and 40% larger than before, making it easier to see your stats and info[1]
- Maximize your performance with advanced running features; build custom run workouts and get real-time guidance and advanced form tracking[3]
- Enhance your run routine with Fitbit Premium; Google AI uses your goals, past runs, and readiness to power personalized run recommendations[3]
- Know what your body is ready for each day with readiness; it uses sleep, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability to show if you’re ready to take on a workout or prioritize recovery[3]
- Cardio load measures how hard your heart works so you can see how hard you’ve pushed; compare trends to see if you’re under- or over-training[3]
| Size | Bluetooth/Wi-Fi launch price | LTE launch price |
|---|---|---|
| 41 mm | $349.99 | $449.99 |
| 45 mm | $399.99 | $499.99 |
Within each size, the LTE configuration launched $100 above Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. These are dated launch list prices, not current retail prices. The available evidence does not establish the exact amount or original source of the unofficial pre-launch rumor in the headline, so Google’s later announced prices should not be treated as confirmation of that rumor.

| Specification | 41 mm | 45 mm |
|---|---|---|
| Case diameter | 41 mm | 45 mm |
| Weight without band | 31 g | 37 g |
| Height | 12.3 mm | 12.3 mm |
| Included small band fit | 130–175 mm wrists | 150–185 mm wrists |
| Included large band fit | 165–210 mm wrists | 165–215 mm wrists |
The 45 mm model has a larger case and weighs 6 g more without the band. Wrist measurements for the included small and large bands overlap differently, so measuring your wrist against Google’s listed ranges is more useful than choosing by case diameter alone.
Google estimates up to 24 hours of battery life with always-on display and up to 36 hours in Battery Saver mode for both sizes. These are the manufacturer’s estimates, not independently measured results. Both models are 12.3 mm high.

What should you check before choosing a size?
- Color: Choose from the listed combination for the exact size you want; the two sizes do not share all finishes.
- Fit: Compare wrist circumference with the small- and large-band ranges above. Google’s listed weights exclude the band.
- Connectivity: Decide whether you need LTE; at launch in the U.S., LTE cost $100 more than the same-size Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version.
- Phone compatibility: Google says the watch works with most phones running Android 10.0 or newer and requires a Google Account and the Pixel Watch app. Check Google’s specifications for current compatibility details.
- Band replacements: Check the size and generation compatibility on the specific accessory listing before buying a replacement band.
