Unboxing the Pixel Watch 3: A First Look
A Reddit user, known as youreadusernamestoo, shared their early unboxing experience of the Pixel Watch 3, revealing several key details about the watch’s packaging and contents. Here’s what we’ve learned:
- Packaging Design: The Pixel Watch 3 arrives in a brown cardboard box, consistent with the design aesthetics of the new Pixel smartphones. The box is covered by a printed sleeve that showcases the watch and highlights its key features. To access the watch, users must remove a pill-shaped tab on the back of the sleeve.
- Box Layout: The main box contains an outline of the Pixel Watch 3 on the top, with two pull-out compartments inside. The bottom compartment houses the watch body, wrapped in translucent paper, along with a USB-C charging puck hidden underneath.
- Watch Bands: Unlike some previous models, the Pixel Watch 3 comes with the bands detached. They are neatly packaged in two separate trays located in the top compartment of the box. Additionally, the box includes a sleeve with the watch’s paperwork and a QR code that links to a Google support page with instructions on attaching the bands.
Key Features and Design Insights
In a separate Reddit thread, the user provided close-up images of the Pixel Watch 3, offering a detailed look at the watch’s design elements, including:
- Crown and Sensors: The images highlight the case back, showcasing the watch’s crown, sensors, and button layout.
- Band Attachment: The band attachment mechanism is clearly visible, along with some of the watch’s features printed on the back.
Final Takeaway
While early shipments of the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold have surfaced in Europe, most customers will likely need to wait until the official sale date to receive their devices. These early unboxing images provide an exciting sneak peek into what buyers can expect when they finally get their hands on Google’s latest wearables.
