Google’s venture into the world of smartwatches with the Pixel Watch series has garnered both praise and criticism. These watches are undeniably eye-catching in terms of design, but the constant battery drainage has been a major concern among users. As rumors swirl about the potential release of a Pixel Watch 3 XL alongside the regular Pixel Watch 3, hopes are high for improved battery performance.
Surveying our readers, we delved into the crucial question of whether enhanced battery life would sway their decision to opt for the Pixel Watch 3 XL. The results spoke volumes: a significant 82% of respondents stated that improved battery life would be the decisive factor in their purchase consideration. Only 11% were content with the larger size of the XL model itself, while 7% showed no interest at all.
A larger form factor in the rumored Pixel Watch 3 XL hints at a possibility for a bigger battery capacity compared to the standard Watch 3. Observing Samsung’s Galaxy Watches with various sizes, it’s evident that the larger variants typically house up to 30% more battery capacity. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that larger, high-resolution screens in bigger watches consume more power, potentially offsetting the advantage of a larger battery.
Despite the anticipation for Fall for the official release of the new Pixel Watches, Google has teased a surprise launch event on August 13, with the Pixel 9 series set to make an appearance. Given that Pixel Watches often debut alongside Pixel phones in October, there is a strong likelihood that the Pixel Watch 3 series, including the speculated Pixel Watch 3 XL, will be unveiled during this event.
