Highlights
- Pixel Watch 3 XL features a 45mm width and 1.45-inch display

Google’s wearable lineup is about to grow with a larger version of the Pixel Watch 3 that dropped last month.
9to5Google had tipped us off about this supersized model the tech giant was working on earlier in the year, and now here come the first renders spilling info on display size and aspect ratios.
Pixel Watch 3 XL renders
The leaked renders, courtesy of @OnLeaks and Android Headlines, show off the rumoured “Pixel Watch 3 XL.”
This larger dimension, already announced in March, is a staggering 45mm wide to allow for a 1.45-inch display.
While the general size is the same, the Pixel Watch 3 XL is set to be a good deal thicker.
According to the source, the next generation would then be 13.89mm in thickness-as compared to a pixel Watch 2 whose profile was 12.9mm, or a millimeter or so more.
Details regarding the increase in the size of the batteries are, however, not well demonstrated.
Band Compatibility Concerns
One of the downsides of larger sizes is compatibility with existing bands.
Google has “slightly altered,” according to the claim, the band system for use with the new watch-making it “larger” and incompatible with the new size requirements.
This quite strongly suggests that current bands probably won’t be compatible with the Pixel Watch 3 XL, exactly as the company seems to have had in mind from the very beginning.
The larger model, the 45mm Pixel Watch 3 XL, seems to feature lesser bezels than the previous model.
While the “XL” moniker on the larger variant is weird, this is very Google-like in similarity to previous positions.
User Demand and Future Revelations
The addition of a larger size option for the Pixel Watch 3 answers one of the most prevalent user requests thus far.
As the launch date approaches, further details regarding the Pixel Watch 3 lineup are expected to emerge in the following months, stoking excitement among wearable fans.
