Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityBattery 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.Battery Saver on the Pixel Watch 1 and 2Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityFeatures like Battery Saver mode should be automatic and seamless, but we found the experience cumbersome on the Pixel Watch 1 and 2 because the mode needed to be enabled manually. When the power gets low enough, you receive a notification that you must actively tap to turn on Battery Saver. Unfortunately, this notification is easy to miss, meaning I was sometimes left with a dead device if I didn’t see my watch’s low-battery alert.Compounding the uselessness, Battery Saver also doesn’t turn off automatically once the device is charged back up. The watch stays in its lower power mode until manually told otherwise. This means I can easily go a whole day with notifications disabled because I forgot to turn Battery Saver mode off once I charged my watch, which is deeply frustrating, to say the least.Battery Saver on the Pixel Watch 3Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityTo my delight, the Google Pixel Watch 3 introduces much-needed improvements to Battery Saver mode by adding two new settings, which make it behave more like the Batter Saver mode we know on our phones.The first setting lets the watch automatically switch into Battery Saver mode when it reaches 15% battery. This is a no-brainer solution that makes the feature much more powerful. I’ve been testing it, and it
