The Google Pixel Watch 3 is set to enhance workout experiences by enabling users to pair their smartwatch with a variety of gym equipment to share real-time heart rate data. This functionality aims to provide more accurate insights into workout performance, helping users track their fitness progress effectively.
According to Google, the Pixel Watch 3 is compatible with a range of gym equipment brands, allowing users to sync their heart rate data seamlessly. This integration includes several major fitness equipment manufacturers, ensuring that users can connect their watches to various machines for better monitoring during exercise sessions.
However, it’s worth noting that the latest supported list also highlights some gym equipment brands that are not compatible with the Pixel Watch 3. These include Garmin, Life Fitness, and TechnoGym. This incompatibility might be specific to certain models or types of equipment from these manufacturers. Google has mentioned that additional devices and apps will be added in the future, potentially expanding the compatibility range.
The process of pairing the Pixel Watch 3 with gym equipment is straightforward. Users can access the Quick Settings panel by swiping down from the home screen or watch face. From there, they should tap the “Connected Fitness” icon, followed by “Connect.” The gym equipment will provide instructions for pairing with the Pixel Watch 3. Users will need to follow these instructions and accept the pairing request to establish a connection. There is also an option to save this connection for quicker access in future workouts.
This feature aims to simplify the connection between wearable technology and gym equipment, enhancing the overall workout experience by providing real-time heart rate data and other metrics directly from the equipment.
