Do the Pixel Watch 2 bands fit the Pixel Watch 3?
Did you just get yourself a Google Pixel Watch 3? The stock bands are nice, but we know many of you are wondering how much you can personalize these accessories to make your smartwatch look truly yours. You’re probably also wondering: do the Pixel Watch 2 bands fit the Pixel Watch 3? Let’s tell you all the Pixel Watch 3 band size details you need to know.
Do the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 bands fit the Pixel Watch 3?
Some Pixel Watch bands can be used interchangeably between different generations of the series, while others can’t. For example, the 41mm versions of the Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch 2, and Pixel Watch 3 can use the same bands, save for a couple of exceptions. The Metal Slim and Metal Mesh bands will not fit the first-generation Pixel Watch. Otherwise, all three use the same 20mm Pixel Watch 3 band size.
Of course, bands aren’t compatible with previous-gen Pixel Watches if you get the 45mm Google Pixel Watch 3. This is a new size, with a larger 22mm band size that won’t fit either the Pixel Watch or the Pixel Watch 2. Of course, the Pixel Watch 3 41mm is also excluded.
