Original Google Pixel Watch Sells for $80
There hasn’t been a better opportunity for Android users to purchase a Google Pixel Watch, as long as they don’t mind being a little behind the times: Woot is currently selling the first generation GPS+ Cellular Google Pixel Watch for $79.99 , which is 76% off the original sale price of $329.99. According to price tracking tools , this is the cheapest wearable device ever.
(Please note that Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous US states. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, shipping costs $6.00.)
The original Google Pixel Watch came out in 2022, so you won’t get the latest technology (that will be the Google Pixel Watch 3 ). However, it costs less than $100 and is still quite functional. The Pixel Watch is a stylish hybrid watch with some fitness features, but according to a CNET review , it’s more of a smartwatch than a fitness-focused watch. The health and fitness features use Fitbit metrics, which Google acquired back in 2021).
The watch is only available in 41mm size. Since it’s the GPS+Cellular (or LTE) version, you’ll be able to use its features, make calls, send text messages, and use apps regardless of a Wi-Fi signal or while you’re near your phone.
The main drawback of the Google Pixel Watch is its battery life – it lasts a little more than a day, depending on the intensity of use. This is not the worst thing as you will be able to use it to track your sleep even after a full day of use.
Pixel doesn’t work with Apple phones, but is compatible with any Android phone. You can read more about the features in PCMag’s “excellent” review .
