Now that Made by Google 2024 is officially wrapped up, you know what time it is: preorder time. The company announced the arrival of the brand-new Pixel 9 smartphones, Pixel Buds Pro 2, and the Pixel Watch 3 — all of which are now available for preorder. At the time of writing, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is available at the Google Store, Best Buy, and Amazon. Once your preorder is placed, your new bling should ship out by its release date on Sept. 10.

There's a lot that's new when it comes to the Pixel Watch 3, and the most obvious is that there's a new 45mm size that contains a bigger display, longer battery life, and better power efficiency than the 41mm version. Both can be purchased with WiFi or LTE configurations, but if you're an avid smartwatch user, we'd say just spring for the data so you can use your tech wherever you find yourself. You'll also have the ability to use maps while offline, take notes on the Recorder app, and use Call Assist, which answers and holds phone calls for you while you find a quiet place to talk.

The fitness tracker capabilities have also gotten a decent upgrade, including more accurate heart rate tracking and advanced running features like form adjustments thanks to Fitbit's proprietary built-in tech. And speaking of heart rate tracking, the Google Pixel Watch 3 also introduces loss of pulse detection, which is exactly what it sounds like: If the watch detects a loss of pulse, it'll ask if you're OK. If you don't answer, it'll alert the proper emergency services to get you the help you need. So yeah, your Pixel Watch can now possibly save your life.
