The Google Pixel 3 Is Our Favorite Android Smartwatch and It’s Now $80 Off

Put the Google Pixel 3 on your wrist for just $270 before it’s too late.

If you’ve been on the fence about picking up a new smartwatch to monitor your health and fitness, now is a great time to take the plunge. It just so happens that our favorite Android smartwatch — the Google Pixel Watch 3 — is available with a solid $80 discount, but you’ll need to be quick. Limited-time deals like this don’t hang around for long.

Right now, you can score the 41mm watch for just $270 in your choice of four different colors. The 45mm watch is $115 off, and you can grab that for just $320. While neither of these prices quite match Amazon’s lowest, they’re still noteworthy savings.

The Google Pixel Watch 3 is our top choice Android smartwatch because of its attractive design, large screen and speedy charging. It also no longer requires a Fitbit Premium membership to access your readiness score. And it has plenty of tools that are great for runners. It’s important to keep in mind that, although the watch comes with Google Assistant, it does not include Gemini, Google’s AI.

Lisa Eadicicco, former tech senior editor, said in her review, «The Pixel Watch 3’s upgrades are enough to keep it as my top pick for a general-purpose Android smartwatch. If you’re anything like me and consider yourself a casual runner in need of a general-purpose Android watch that’s sleek and comfortable, the Pixel Watch 3 won’t disappoint.»

Why this deal matters
