Google's anticipated Pixel Watch 3, expected in October 2024, represents the company's next attempt to close the distance between what wearables promise and what they actually deliver — in battery endurance, physical fit, health intelligence, and long-term commitment. The choices Google makes here will reveal whether the Pixel Watch is a genuine platform or merely a companion piece to a phone.

Consumers benefit from increased competition driving innovation in smartwatch features, particularly longer battery life and advanced health tracking. However, premium features may remain locked behind subscription services (Fitbit Premium), potentially increasing total cost of ownership.
Potential regulatory focus on battery longevity standards for wearables, data privacy for health metrics collection, and subscription service transparency. EU regulations on repairability and e-waste may influence product design decisions.
