First Google Pixel Watch 3 renders surface revealing refined design

What you need to know

• The first renders of the Pixel Watch 3 reveal the smartwatch in black.
• The design looks identical to the Pixel Watch 2, including the circular display, rotating crown, and Assistant triggering button.
• However, the smartwatch is likely to be thicker than the previous model, probably due to a bigger battery.

The Google Pixel 9 series launch is months away, and another exciting product that should be launching alongside them is the Pixel Watch 3. While very little is known about the upcoming smartwatch, the first possible renders have now appeared.

The high-quality renders of the Google Pixel Watch 3 are shared by prolific leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka OnLeaks) in conjunction with 91mobiles. 

At first glance, the smartwatch looks a lot like the Pixel Watch 2 in terms of design, including the circular display accompanied by a rotatory crown on the side pane. The button to invoke the assistant is also present right next to it. The sensor pane at the rear also appears to be as familiar as the predecessor model.

The latest render of the Pixel Watch 3 shows it in a black colorway with the same strap. Since the previous version came in black, silver, gold, and blue variations, similar hues are anticipated for the successor. It wouldn’t be surprising if Google introduced an entirely new colorway, similar to what it did with the Pixel phones.
