2. You want a durable smartwatch

The Pixel Watch 3 is a sleek, minimalist smartwatch, but its design is dominated by curved glass that leaves the display exposed. In contrast, the OnePlus Watch 3 is built like a tank, featuring a sapphire crystal face with an 8+ rating on the Mohs hardness scale, a stainless steel case with a titanium bezel, IP68 dust and water resistance, a 50m water pressure rating, and MIL-STD-810H certification.

The OHealth smartphone app provides post-workout insights, including running dynamics, but its home screen isn’t customizable. Some tiles appear empty, and you can’t arrange data for quick, glanceable access. That said, if you’re looking for accurate tracking and a solid set of basic features, the OnePlus Watch 3 could be a great fit.

The Pixel Watch 3 also offers deep Fitbit integration and is optimized for runners, with dynamic coaching features that help you reach your goals using just the watch. It tracks advanced health and wellness metrics, and the overall software experience feels more polished. Plus, as a Google product, the Pixel Watch 3 is guaranteed to receive more frequent software updates.

The Pixel Watch 3 also incorporates LTE support so you can pay a minimal fee to your carrier and leave your smartphone behind as you workout and still stay connected. There are rumors that a future OnePlus Watch may include LTE support.

3. You need emergency services and no one is around

At Google’s launch event last fall, the company showcased its Loss of Pulse Detection feature, and I spent time speaking with doctors about how it works. This technology feels especially personal to me — five years ago, my father suffered a cardiac arrest while sitting in his recliner. His wife didn’t find him for at least 15 minutes, and by then, it was too late.  

Google uses advanced algorithms to be able to detect if a watch was removed on purpose or if the person wearing it is in a trauma state. I look forward to hearing stories of lives saved by Google with this feature.
