Google claims the Pixel Watch 3 supports a peak brightness level of 2,000 nits, which is double that of last year’s model, and can drop to 1 nit in dark conditions. The bezels are more than 16 percent thinner than its predecessor.
Google says the Pixel Watch 3 lets users plan complex running programs and can display data like cadence, stride length, and vertical oscillation. It also supports new fitness and cardio tracking features to help users focus on recovery. Fitbit users will have access to the Morning Brief feature, which provides a summary of their health information, as well as overnight changes related to any metric.

The Pixel Watch 3's battery life remains unchanged, with the wearable offering up to 24 hours of battery life with the always-on display enabled. Google says the watch can last up to 36 hours in battery-saving mode. However, the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 supports 20 percent faster charging speeds than the company's second-generation smartwatch.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 Specifications
Google's new Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the company's first TWS earbuds to feature the company's Tensor A1 chip. The company claims the processor is 90 times faster than the speed of sound when processing audio, and that it's twice as effective at active noise cancellation (ANC) compared to the first-generation Pixel Buds Pro, as well as Google's Silent Seal 2.0 technology, which is said to also suppress noise at higher frequencies.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature 11mm dynamic drivers, and the company says the Tensor A1 chip delivers more optimized music playback via a dedicated signal path. It also features updated algorithms that are designed to improve the Clear Calling feature, which reduces ambient noise during phone calls. They also support seamless audio switching between Pixel devices, including the Pixel Watch.
Meanwhile, the Conversation Detection feature pauses media playback and turns on transparency mode when the wearer is speaking, and re-enables ANC and resumes playback when the conversation is over. The TWS headset also supports Google's Find My Device network, showing them on a map and allowing users to call the earbuds and charging case when they are nearby.
