The Pixel Watch 3 can be considered an iterative upgrade over its predecessor, but the experience has been polished enough for it to feel like a solid product that can compete against other great smartwatches on the market right now. What makes it particularly delightful, though, are the smaller software changes that integrate it tighter into Google’s ecosystem. The Pixel Watch 3 comes with several Google Home-related changes that play into this theme, making the watch a good companion for those of us with a smart home.
When you open the Google Home app (v2.74.65.4) for the first time on the new Pixel Watch 3, you are guided through everything new in the app. Most of these are true, but controlling light groups and the favorites tile are not specifically new. The other features highlighted here are indeed new and launching on the Pixel Watch 3, but could/should come in an app update or feature drop to older Pixel Watches and other Wear OS smartwatches, too.
