There hasn't been a better opportunity for Android users to get a Google Pixel Watch, provided they don't mind being a bit behind the times: Woot is currently selling the first generation GPS + Cellular Google Pixel Watch for $79.99, 76% off the original $329.99selling price. This is the cheapest the wearable has ever been, according to price tracking tools.
(Note that Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it'll be $6 to ship.)
The original Google Pixel Watch came out in 2022, so you won't be getting the latest tech (that would be the Google Pixel Watch 3). Still, it's under $100 and still pretty capable. The Pixel Watch is a stylish hybrid watch with some fitness features, but it leans more towards a smartwatch than a fitness-oriented watch, according to CNET's review. The health and fitness features use metrics from Fitbit, which Google acquired back in 2021).
The watch is only available on sale in its 41mm size. Since this is the GPS + Cellular (or LTE) version, you'll be able to use its features, make calls, send texts, and use apps independently of wifi signal or being near your phone.
What do you think so far?
The main downside of the Google Pixel Watch is its battery life—it lasts only a bit over a day, depending on your use. It's not the worst, since you'll be able to use it to track your sleep even after using it all day.
The Pixel doesn't work with Apple phones, but any Android phone is compatible. You can read more about the features in PCMag's “excellent” review.
