Google’s First Pixel Watch Now Costs $110
The Google Pixel Watch in champagne gold with walnut band or polished silver with charcoal band retails for $109.99, which is $170 off its regular price of $279.99.
Launched in 2022 as Google’s first smartwatch (the stainless steel casing is 80% recycled, so Google gets some green points here), the Pixel Watch combines Wear OS with Fitbit’s health-tracking expertise and does everything you’d expect from a premium smartwatch: texting, calling, contactless payments, smart home controls, fitness tracking, and more. Plus, it works with any Android 8.0+ device, not just the Pixel, so you’re not locked into the Google ecosystem. Here’s everything you need to know about the Google Pixel Watch .
Pixel Watch has 5 ATM water resistance, which allows you to dive into shallow waters. However, Google doesn’t provide an official IP rating for dust resistance, which is something to consider if you plan to use it in harsh environments. Additionally, its AMOLED display is covered with a domed layer of Corning Gorilla Glass for added durability, but there is no raised bezel for added protection against accidental impacts. That said, the display is smooth and very responsive, with no noticeable lag, and visibility is good both indoors and outdoors. On the inside, it is powered by an Exynos 9110 chip paired with a Cortex M33 coprocessor and 2GB of RAM. Google says this tweak helps improve heart rate tracking without draining the battery too quickly, and in practice it lasts a full day—about 25 hours with the always-on display on, as noted in PCMag’s review .
On the fitness side, the Pixel Watch leans heavily on the Fitbit ecosystem, tracking heart rate, sleep, and daily activity while supporting 40 workout modes—CrossFit, HIIT, Pilates, Yoga, etc. It also includes an ECG app to detect atrial fibrillation and Fitbit Activity Zone Minutes to help you reach your recommended activity goals. If you’re looking for data, the included six-month trial of Fitbit Premium unlocks more information, guided workouts, and mindfulness sessions. After that, it will cost $9.99 per month, so you’ll need to decide if the subscription is worth it . The latest version of Google’s wearable, the Pixel Watch 3, will come with heart rate loss detection by March. If you’re concerned about this, it might be worth waiting for an update.
