The Google Pixel Watch 3 drops to $280 ahead of Black Friday
The Pixel Watch 3 is one of the smartwatches that’s available for a lower price than usual in early Black Friday deals. Just a couple of months after Google debuted the wearable, it has hit a new record low price of $280. That’s a solid discount of $70 on the Wi-Fi-only 41mm model.
The LTE-enabled version of that size is on sale too, but only if you opt for the matte black aluminum case with an obsidian band. That Pixel Watch 3 model has dropped by 17 percent to $373.

The Pixel Watch 3 is our pick for the best smartwatch for Android users. It’s Google’s finest Pixel Watch yet. It has a display with a 60Hz refresh rate. The screen can drop to just 1 nit of brightness while you’re asleep (or perhaps at the movies) to help conserve battery life. The smartwatch can run for over 24 hours on a single charge. Handily, the Pixel Watch 3 charges faster than previous models too.
Thanks in part to the help of Fitbit’s knowhow, the wearable is a great activity tracker. Functions include detection and custom running plans, along with the ability to track other metrics such as Cardio Load. However, you’ll need to stump up for a Fitbit Premium plan to access more in-depth coaching. Some software quirks and slight bulkiness are other drawbacks of the Pixel Watch 3.
Other features include the likes of weather forecasts, calendar alerts and map directions that you can access via Google Assistant voice commands. In the end, we gave the Pixel Watch 3 a score of 84 in our review, with Engadget deputy editor Cherlynn Low calling it a “a serious smartwatch [that’s] ready for the competition.”
