The Pixel Watch 4 launches on October 9, so Google is spending these two Prime Big Deal Days to clear out its Pixel Watch 3 stock. Problem is, Google has made the Pixel Watch 3 so darn cheap — $170.99 at Amazon (32% off) — that anyone weighing the Pixel Watch 4 at $349 might reasonably decide to grab the cheaper model for half the price!
The largest savings come from grabbing the 45mm Pixel Watch LTE for $284 ($115 off) for a larger display and standalone cellular support, instead of paying $499 for the Watch 4 45mm LTE. It really depends on how much you're willing to spend, and whether you can accept missing out on the new model's satellite SOS support.
✅Recommended if: You own a Pixel phone and want the best integration between your smartwatch and Google apps and services, with Gemini tying the experience together; you want a sporty watch with health insights, but would rather have smarts than weeks of battery life.
❌Skip this deal if: You can't live without the upcoming Pixel Watch 4 perks like a slight battery boost, new skin temperature sensor, dual-band GPS, a larger and brighter display, and emergency satellite connectivity (LTE only).
You can study our Pixel Watch 4 vs. Watch 3 guide if you're uncertain whether this deal is a trap. The newer model has the latest Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip, but with no performance boost, only satellite for the LTE models and dual-frequency GPS support.
While the Watch 4 has a larger display, our Watch 4 hands-on tester noted that its domed style "may not appeal to anyone," meaning the flatter Watch 3 might be a better fit even if its display only hits 2,000 nits instead of 3,000 — still plenty bright for both indoor and outdoor use!
While I'm personally excited for the Watch 4 with its slight battery boost, faster charging, and Gemini Raise to Talk, I can't deny that the Watch 3 is very easy to recommend at this price. Only the Galaxy Watch 7 at $149 is a better deal, and you may prefer the Pixel Watch 3 because of its unique style and Fitbit integration.
