The Google Pixel Watch, in either champagne gold with a hazel band or polished silver with a charcoal band, is down to $109.99, $170 off its usual price of $279.99.

Launched in 2022 as Google’s first smartwatch (the stainless steel build is 80% recycled, so Google gets some sustainability points here), the Pixel Watch blends Wear OS with Fitbit’s health-tracking expertise, and does everything you’d expect from a premium smartwatch—texts, calls, contactless payments, smart home controls, fitness tracking, among others. Plus, it works with any Android 8.0+ device, not just Pixels, so you’re not locked into Google’s ecosystem. Here’s everything you need to know about the Google Pixel Watch.

The Pixel Watch comes with a 5ATM water resistance rating, allowing for shallow water submersion. However, Google doesn’t provide an official IP rating for dust resistance, which might be something to consider if you plan on taking it into rough environments. Additionally, its AMOLED display is covered by a domed layer of Corning Gorilla Glass for better durability, but there’s no raised bezel for extra protection against accidental bumps. That said, the display is smooth and highly responsive, with no noticeable lag, and its visibility is strong both indoors and outdoors. Internally, it runs on an Exynos 9110 chip paired with a Cortex M33 co-processor and 2GB of RAM. Google claims this setup helps improve heart rate tracking without draining the battery too quickly, and in practice, it does last a full day—about 25 hours with the always-on display enabled, notes this PCMag review.

On the fitness side, the Pixel Watch leans heavily into Fitbit’s ecosystem, tracking heart rate, sleep, and daily activity while supporting 40 workout modes—CrossFit, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, etc. It also includes an ECG app for detecting atrial fibrillation and Fitbit’s Active Zone Minutes to help you hit recommended activity goals. If you’re into data, the included six-month Fitbit Premium trial unlocks extra insights, guided workouts, and mindfulness sessions. After that, it’s $9.99 a month, so you’ll need to decide if it’s worth the subscription. The latest iteration of Google’s wearable, the Pixel Watch 3, will introduce pulse loss detection by March. If that is something you care about, it might be worth waiting for the upgrade.
