The Google Pixel Watch 3 continues Google’s refined smartwatch approach with its signature circular design, available in two sizes (41mm and 45mm). It features an aluminum casing and tempered glass, maintaining a sleek, premium aesthetic.
In contrast, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra marks the company’s first foray into rugged smartwatches, sporting a square-ish design with titanium and sapphire crystal for enhanced durability. Built for extreme conditions, it’s bulkier but far more resilient than the Pixel Watch 3.
Display and Hardware: Size vs. Clarity
Google’s Pixel Watch 3 offers a 1.2-inch display on the 41mm model and a 1.4-inch screen on the 45mm variant, both with vibrant AMOLED panels. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra, however, boasts a larger 1.5-inch display, providing more screen real estate for notifications and fitness tracking.
Under the hood, both run Wear OS 5, ensuring smooth performance and access to the same app ecosystem. However, the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s titanium build and sapphire glass give it a clear edge in durability.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you prioritize affordability and a sleek, minimalist design, the Pixel Watch 3 is an excellent pick. But if durability, a larger display, and premium materials matter more, the Galaxy Watch Ultra justifies its higher price tag.
Ultimately, the choice depends on whether you value elegance or toughness in a Wear OS smartwatch.
