Best Buy US drops Pixel Watch 2 price to $300, original Pixel Watch is down to $200

Peter, 11 January 2024

Google acquired Fitbit in early 2021 and launched its first smartwatch the following year and the sequel the year after that. Now both are available with a discount from Best Buy.

The Google Pixel Watch 2 features a new(er) chipset that improves battery life – having to charge too often is always a pain point for smartwatches. It also adds skin temperature and skin conductance sensors.

The watch is available with a $50 discount. This puts the Wi-Fi version at $300, while the version with LTE connectivity is $350.

To be fair, the upgrades on the 2023 model aren’t that big and the original Google Pixel Watch costs 33% less– down to $200 after an $80 discount. There are some other differences, e.g. the original has a stainless steel frame, while version 2 switched to aluminum (that made it a bit lighter, but it’s 36g vs. 31g, so you might not notice).

Google has committed to 3 years of major OS updates for the original Pixel Watch and five years of patches. It launched with Wear OS 3.5 and has already received Wear OS 4 and it still has a while to go before it loses support.

But this product is so old already. Who would want to buy this even discounted?
