The box of the Google Pixel Watch 3 contains the watch itself, a wristband in two sizes (small and large), a USB-C charging cable and a quick start guide. The charging cable is a USB-C magnetic charging cable that was specially developed for the watch.
Unfortunately not :-(

Yes, the watch should also be compatible with Swiss mobile phone providers, including Swisscom.
However, our recommendation is always to first ask your mobile phone provider directly whether this model is supported.
You can activate Wingo via Swisscom Prepaid (one-off 20.-). Complicated, but it worked straight away (without changing anything with the device SIM and with simultaneous ringing).
If anyone has the same problem, I proceeded in roughly the same way (Wingo and Pixel 9 Pro XL, I think it works similarly for other mobile phone providers):
1st On PC: ordered Swisscom Prepaid eSIM and start setup with QR code.
2. on smartphone: Scan QR code with camera and set up eSIM
3. on smartphone: Press "Mobile network" in the Watch app and do nothing yet (Swisscom should now be suggested instead of "none")
4. on the PC: order a second SIM from Wingo ("for other watches" selected, takes a few minutes, incl. new registration in my.wingo portal)
5. on PC: Configure Second SIM in my.wingo portal -> QR code should be displayed
6. on smartphone: Press Scan in the Watch app in the "Mobile network" and now scan the Wingo QR code -> activation takes a moment
7. on the PC: Complete the configuration in my.wingo Portal
8. in Settings > Network & Internet > SIM cards > deactivate the Swisscom card again
Test with smartphone in flight mode worked, outgoing and incoming calls
Yes, the Google Pixel Watch 3 also works with Galaxus Mobile Multi SIM, but via a diversion.
There has to be a Swisscom SIM in the device. I got myself a Swisscom prepaid eSIM that was active within minutes with an existing Swisscom account.
As soon as this eSIM is active on the smartphone, the "Mobile network" setting becomes visible in the Pixel app and an eSIM QR code can be scanned.
My watch is now connected to Galaxus Mobile. Phone calls still won't work, maybe someone here has some advice?
The Google Pixel Watch 3 allows you to answer incoming calls and initiate calls by connecting to your phone via Bluetooth. Here are some important details:
- Call management: the Pixel Watch 3 supports answering and starting calls via Bluetooth as long as the phone is nearby and connected.
- Speaker: The watch has an inbuilt speaker that can be used for calls. However, there is no specific information on how loud the speaker is. However, it is generally the case that smartwatch speakers are suitable for short conversations, but may not be as loud as a normal phone.
It is important to note that speaker volume can be subjective and may vary depending on the environment. However, if you need clear and reliable call management, the Pixel Watch 3 should meet your needs.
