Google's Pixel Watch 3 gets major display upgrade and comes in two sizes

Available in 41mm and 45mm cases

At its annual Made by Google event on Tuesday, the company announced a rare feature for a wearable: Pulse Loss Detection. Available only on the Pixel Watch 3, the feature can tell when the wearer's pulse has stopped beating.


A weak or missed pulse is a sign of a serious medical emergency that can be caused by a variety of factors, including cardiac arrest, poisoning, and other life-threatening situations. In these moments, Pixel Watch 3 can save a life. If it detects a missed pulse, it's set to automatically call for emergency help so you can get the medical attention you need right away.

Google noted that responding to emergencies often depends on having someone nearby to call for help. The current system is set up to respond quickly, but it assumes that someone is nearby. The company stressed that most emergencies happen when people are alone, highlighting how important it is to have a system that allows people to act on their own.


Additionally, the tech giant stressed how important it is to act quickly if someone stops having a pulse, especially since half of these situations happen when no one is around. The Pixel Watch 3 can make a big difference in this regard, with a smart heart rate sensor and AI that detects if the pulse has stopped. If so, the watch double-checks with additional sensors and automatically initiates emergency protocols.


Pulse loss detection not yet available everywhere

Google's pulse loss detection feature has been approved for release in select European markets, including the UK, but is still waiting for approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. The life-saving technology is set to release on the Pixel Watch 3 in September, with Google promising to bring it to more regions in the future.
