Battery life woes were perhaps the biggest crux of the original Google smartwatch. When Google launched the Pixel Watch 2, some of the issues were alleviated with more efficient power usage and a fast charging cable. However, the poorly executed Power Saver mode remained, in my opinion, a flawed feature across both smartwatch generations. Fortunately, the Google Pixel Watch 3 finally fixes it with two important changes: auto-on and auto-off.
