The Pixel Watch 2 has a similar design to its predecessor, but it comes with several key upgrades that should make this Android wearable worth the investment for a lot of Google fans, including upgraded performance, automatic workout detection, added safety features, stress tracking capabilities, a new heart rate sensor and more. While we haven’t had the chance to try it out yet, we expect these changes to generate a lot of interest.

Finishes for the Pixel Watch 2 include matte black with an obsidian active band and champagne gold with a hazel active band — both of which are also available on the older model — as well as polished silver with a bay active band and polished silver with a porcelain active band. If you’re upgrading from a Pixel Watch, your data can be transferred through Google One.
The battery life for this smartwatch should last 24 hours, according to Google. This watch includes an always-on display and faster charging than the previous model. Some carriers — such as AT&T and T-Mobile — are offering discounts on the Pixel Watch 2 with the purchase of a new Pixel 8 Pro — but below you will only find deals that do not require you to purchase another device.Â
Best Buy is currently offering the Pixel Watch 2 (Wi-Fi) for $60 off its regular price of $350. And you can save up to $120 off the Pixel Watch 2 if you trade in the right items.Â
Target is also offering the Pixel Watch 2 for $60, which matches Best Buy’s current deal. Plus, Target Circle Card users can save 5% on their purchase.

Google’s first Pixel Watch features a round display, interchangeable bands and customizable watch faces. The Pixel Watch is available in four different finishes: matte-black with an obsidian active band, polished silver with a charcoal active band, polished silver with a chalk active band or champagne gold with a hazel active band. The bands are interchangeable, and many third-party options are already available for endless customization options.Â
Wear OS has been redesigned for the round display, and the watch features all of the Google apps you would expect, plus fitness features powered by Fitbit smarts. It runs on an Exynos 9110 processor along with a coprocessor and should last for 24 hours per charge, according to Google. It includes accurate heart-rate tracking and can take an ECG from the wrist, and will be updated with the ability to take blood-oxygen saturation measurements. As with the Apple Watch, fall detection is built in.
Interestingly, unlike other Wear OS smartwatches, the Pixel Watch is only compatible with Android. In a move akin to Apple’s approach with the Apple Watch, you’ll have to remain within the Google ecosystem to enjoy Google’s new wearable.Â
The Google Pixel Watch is currently $100 off if you grab it from the Google store itself. It’s still a great watch, so this is a pretty good deal.Â
Good news for Target fans: The retailer has knocked $100 off the standard Pixel Watch price as well. It’s worth noting that Target Circle Card holders can get 5% off their purchase, which can save you a little extra cash on your purchase.Â
Amazon is getting in on the savings as well, offering $100 off Wi-Fi and LTE Pixel Watch models. There’s a variety of colors to choose from with speedy Prime shipping.
Finally, we’ve got Best Buy, also with a $100 discount across all OG Pixel Watch models. You can also hand over your old smartwatch for an extra discount (up to $120).
