We've rounded up the best places to get your hands on one for less right now, and we'll continue to update this page as offers come and go.
How much does the Pixel Watch cost?
The Pixel Watch is available with or without cellular connectivity, and it comes in a couple of different sizes. Here's how pricing breaks down for the latest model, the Pixel Watch 3:
- 41mm Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi): $350
- 41mm Pixel Watch 3 (cellular): $450
- 45mm Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi): $400
- 45mm Pixel Watch 3 (cellular): $500
You can still get the previous-gen Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 if you know where to look, and these often cost a bit less given they are no longer the shiny new model.

One of the biggest differences between the Watch 3 and other models is that the Pixel Watch 3 now comes in two different sizes, a larger 45mm version and the existing 41mm size. You now no longer need to pay to see your Fitbit Readiness Score, giving you a score out of 100 regarding things like sleep, activity and more. This watch also has a large focus on running, helping you with things like your pace.
Best Buy has knocked $50 off nearly all Pixel Watch 3 configurations, which drops the starting price down to just $300. Plus, the tech retailer has its own trade-in program where you can save even more in exchange for your old smartwatch.
Buy your new Pixel Watch 3 straight from the source and you'll save $50 automatically. You can also save up to $350 when you trade in another similar device, and if you choose to add 4G LTE plan to your new watch, Google is offering two years of data for free.

The original Pixel Watch is a little more difficult to come by these days, especially at a price worth paying considering the newer models available at discounts. It's still possible to get refurbished models of the original watch at a cheaper rate, so it's well worth looking at if you are on a tight budget.
If you're considering a Pixel Watch but don't want to spend a fortune on the newest model, going for a refurb of the original model is one way to save a decent chunk of change. Back Market has refurbished OG Pixel Watches from just $83. It's a cheaper way of dipping your toes into the smartwatch waters.
