The Pixel Watch 3 Is $100 Off

Are you a Android user who constantly looks at Apple Watch owners with envy? You’re in luck, because the Pixel Watch 3 is marked down to just $200 at Amazon in multiple colors. I spotted three discounted colors of the 45mm aluminum version: matte black, champagne gold, and polished silver.

Although Apple users have always had the Apple Watch, it took Google a little while to catch up on its first-party hardware offerings. They’ve come a long way in recent years, enough that previous generations of the Pixel Watch are capable enough to recommend them, while still getting deep discounts. This version benefits from many of the Wear OS updates from recent years, while only missing a few features from the updated Pixel Watch 4.

The Pixel Watch’s health and fitness tracking has received a number of improvements since Google purchased FitBit in 2019. This model has improved tracking of heart rate and sleep data, and can automatically detect what type of workout you’re doing. Unfortunately, one of our editors didn’t have the best experience with the AI-powered running coach, but that’s more the fault of the AI ​​and less of the precise measurements.

One of the advantages the Pixel Watch has over the Apple Watch is its looks. Round watches tend to look more natural, and the rounded glass dial has a unique, sleek look that stands out, although you’ll have to choose from bands designed specifically for the Pixel Watch. We were impressed with the battery life of the larger version, which was capable of running for around 24 hours on a single charge with one or two activities tracked per day. This should be enough to get you through the day and track your sleep, provided you’re not constantly working out.

Ultimately, there’s a reason the Pixel Watch tends to stay at the top of our list of favorite smartwatches for Android users. It’s particularly stylish and particularly suited to Pixel smartphone owners, so an attractive discount makes it an even more attractive choice.
