This year, Google expanded its lineup of Pixel Watches to include two models — a 41mm and a 45mm Google Pixel Watch 3. The addition of the 45mm model means that buyers will need to choose a watch band carefully. While bands for the Pixel Watch 2 will still work for the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 (and vice versa), you’ll need to make sure to purchase one specifically designed for the 45mm Pixel Watch 3 model if that’s the size you have.
To add some confusion, note that certain bands are available in small and large sizes designed to fit different-sized wrists. When necessary, you will be prompted to select a band size.
Below is our list of the best bands for the Pixel Watch 3. Since the watch is still new, this list is not very extensive. However, it will expand over time as new bands are introduced, so be sure to check back frequently for updates.
Google Pixel Watch Woven Band (41mm and 45mm versions)
The best official Pixel Watch 3 band
- Lots of colors available
- Versions for 41mm and 45mm models
- Lightweight, excellent for workouts
This textured band comes in six colors, ranging from subtle Ivy to the bright Lemongrass. There are separate versions for the 41mm and 45mm Pixel Watch 3 models, with each size available to fit wrists measuring between 140mm and 215mm around. Price is certainly a factor here though, as these “official” Pixel Watch 3 bands are pricier than most third-party options. Unfortunately for now, the number of third-party options is limited.
Google Pixel Watch Crafted Leather Band (41mm and 45mm)
The best leather Pixel Watch 3 band
- Italian leather
- Stainless steel clasp and lugs
- Small and large bands available
- Expensive
- Limited color selection
Featuring impressive Italian leather and elegant stitching, this band comes in two colors: Obsidian and Moondust. It is available in small and large band sizes for both the 41mm and 45mm Pixel Watch 3 models. The small bands are designed to fit wrists measuring 140mm-180mm around, while the large bands are suitable for wrists measuring 175-215mm around. It’s important to note that these bands are not water- or sweat-resistant. Additionally, the clasp and lugs are constructed from stainless steel.
Google Pixel Watch Active Sport Band (41mm and 45mm)
The best sport Pixel Watch 3 band
- Impressive list of colors
- For both models, in two different sizes
- Sweat- and water-resistant
- Somewhat pricey
If you’re the sporty type, then you need to consider this Google Pixel Watch 3 band directly from Google, which is made of durable and waterproof silicone with perforations, and are available for both Pixel Watch 3 models in small and large sizes. The bands are breathable and cool when in use, a real bonus for sweaty exercises. The silicon band is sweat- and water-resistant, comes with plastic clasps and stainless steel lugs, and is available in six colors at launch.
Spigen Lite Nylon Solo Loop Band (41mm only)
The best comfortable Pixel Watch 3 band
- Super price
- Three colors
- Steel connector and zinc alloy buckle
- Only available in one size for 41mm Pixel Watches
Originally designed for the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2, this impressive band from Spigen also works with the 41mm Pixel Watch 3. Made from nylon and featuring a steel connector and zinc alloy buckle for durability, this band is available in three colors: Navy, Black, and Khaki. Suitable for wrist sizes ranging from 120mm to 215mm, this band is ultra-comfortable and comes at a great price. Perhaps the only negative is that it isn’t yet available for the larger Pixel Watch 3, but we imagine a larger size is on the way.
