Pixel Watch 3 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch: which is better?
Pixel Watch 3 is better if you use Google services heavily and want the cleanest Wear OS experience with Fitbit health integration. Samsung Galaxy Watch is better if you own a Samsung Galaxy phone — you get body composition (BIA), deeper Samsung Health integration, and Samsung-specific features like SmartThings control. Both run Wear OS, both have great hardware. Phone ecosystem usually decides.
