Though it has only been available since October of last year, we have already seen some solid deals on Google’s Pixel Watch , which won a CNET Editors’ Choice Award for 2022.
Officially unveiled alongside the Pixel 7 series of phones at Google’s October media event, the Pixel Watch is the company’s first crack at a first-party smartwatch. Though Google has made Wear OS software available to other smartwatches for years and finalized its acquisition of Fitbit in 2021, the Pixel Watch is the first all-Google smartwatch.

The Pixel Watch features a round display, interchangeable bands and customizable watch faces. Wear OS has been redesigned for the round display, and the watch features all of the Google apps you would expect, plus fitness features powered by Fitbit smarts. It runs on an Exynos 9110 processor along with a coprocessor and should last for 24 hours per charge, according to Google. It features accurate heart rate tracking and can take an ECG from the wrist, and will be updated with the ability to take blood oxygen saturation measurements. Similar to Apple Watch, fall detection is also built in.
Interestingly, unlike other Wear OS smartwatches, Pixel Watch is only compatible with Android. In a move akin to Apple’s approach with the Apple Watch, you’ll have to remain within the Google ecosystem to enjoy Google’s new wearable.
The Pixel Watch retails at $350 and is available now.
What colors does the Pixel Watch come in?
The Pixel Watch is available in four different finishes: matte black with an obsidian active band, polished silver with a charcoal active band, polished silver with a chalk active band or champagne gold with a hazel active band. The bands are interchangeable, and many third-party options are already available for endless customization options.
How much does the Pixel Watch cost?
Pixel Watch is available with or without cellular connectivity with prices starting at $349. Here’s how the pricing breaks down in full in the US:
- Pixel Watch: $350
- Pixel Watch (cellular): $400
Best Pixel Watch deals
AT&T is offering the Pixel Watch for just $5.56 per month with a new line on an eligible installment plan over 36 months. That makes the LTE watch just $200 — a 50% saving.
Buy two Pixel Watch devices at Verizon and save $400, essentially scoring the second device for free. You’ll need to add at least one new line and activate both devices on your wireless plan, then the $400 will be applied as bill credits. Other deals include as much as $180 off when you trade in your old smartwatch or a free Pixel Watch when purchased alongside an eligible Android phone.
You can also go straight to the source for your Pixel Watch order by purchasing at the Google Store. Like at other retailers, the Wi-Fi-only model is $350, but you’ll also nab six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of YouTube Music Premium for free.
Right now this watch is listed at full-price. But if Amazon is your preferred retailer, we have seen the Pixel Watch drop as low as $299 for the Wi-Fi model, so you may want to wait for another sale if you aren’t in a hurry. Either way, you’ll get six months of Fitbit Premium included with your purchase, too.
