Just in time for Presidents' Day, the Pixel Watch 4 has crashed back to its Black Friday price

Smartwatch deals aren't abnormal, but it's particularly refreshing to see newer releases score some sweet discounts this Presidents' Day. As one example, Amazon is offering $50 off for the Google Pixel Watch 4, bringing the price down to just $300.

The Pixel Watch 4 features the brilliantly smooth Wear OS 6, a 3,000 nit display with a quirky design, and battery and charging improvements over previous generations that make it a competitive pick. In our hands-on with the Pixel Watch 4, we point out the watch's improved performance speed and smoothness, thanks to an upgraded Snapdragon chipset.

The overall design is quite similar to the Pixel Watch 3, but the addition of a domed display beneath the glass gives it a unique feel that might not be everyone's cup of tea. We loved it, however, and we like to see Google keeping its design fresh and well-integrated with the latest Wear OS features. All in all, it's hard to go wrong with this watch if you were looking for something around the $300 price range.

✅Recommended if: you want one of the best Android smartwatches with Google's latest OS and features, and you prefer something that's a little on the smaller side; you need a watch with satellite SOS and dual-frequency GPS; you need something with swift charging speeds and a long-enough battery life to get through some serious outdoor adventuring.

❌Skip this deal if: you need something particularly rugged or with a sapphire glass option; you don't want a watch that will keep you tied into Fitbit Premium or other subscription options; you don't like the overall design of the Pixel Watch 4's unique display dome.

The Google Pixel Watch 4 is one of today's most competitive smartwatches, especially for those who have had previous Wear OS devices. We absolutely love the Gemini Raise to Wake feature, updates to Wear OS 6, and the battery life which now reaches to highs of 72 hours in Battery Saver mode, or up to 40 hours with the Always-On Display option. Charging takes about 15 minutes to reach a 50% charge, 25 minutes to an 80% charge, and 45 minutes for a full charge.

It also comes with Satellite SOS, dual-frequency GPS, a 3,000-nit AMOLED display, and a unique glass dome that quickly grew on us upon use.

As for sensors, the device features a compass, an altimeter, a barometer, a magnetometer, a 3-axis accelerometer, a gyroscope, a multi-path optical heart rate sensor, cEDA, SpO2, ECG, and far field skin temperature sensor.
