It took a little time for the Google Pixel Watch 3 to come in two sizes — 41mm and 45mm — but that just means there are now more options to protect it while wearing it on your wrist. Since the smaller of the two sizes is identical to the previous two Pixel Watch models, cases and protectors for those will fit the newer one just the same. But it’s a different story for the larger of the two, where accessories aren’t yet as abundant.
Regardless of which size you choose to go with, there’s some variety to consider. You could go with a hard case or a softer one, or maybe a rugged case and band together for the ultimate protection. Whichever way you want to go, these options will have you covered.

Give your Pixel Watch 3 some cover with these cases and protectors
The Pixel Watch 3 has one of the most exposed screens and bezels of any smartwatch available, which makes protecting it all the more important if you’re worried about long-term durability and performance. Whether you choose to go with fuller protection or something more modest, you have different ways to go about it.
The best of the bunch is the Caseology Vault, courtesy of its textured finish and thin profile that offers both a measure of protection and a sense of style — and you can get it for either the 41mm or 45mm size.
For something more conspicuous and rugged, the Spigen Rugged Armor Pro is more elaborate, making the Pixel Watch 3 look far tougher than it does on its own. It’s a considerably thicker case connected to a tougher silicone band, a combination that may come in handy whenever the situation requires some extra peace of mind.
For something more affordable, the Spigen Thin Fit is a sleek and low-key hard case that doesn’t look too thick or take away much from the Pixel Watch’s attractive frame. Nicely cut to reveal the buttons and digital crown, the slimmer profile suits Google’s watch well, no matter whether you choose the black or clear variant.
