Deal: The top-spec Pixel Watch 3 is now 50% off

Amazon has cut the Google Pixel Watch 3 to $199.99, down from its $399.99 recommended retail price. That is a straight $200 savings, or 50% off RRP, and it makes this a deal worth jumping on while the price is still live.

This is the larger 45mm LTE version of the 2024 Pixel Watch 3, so it can handle calls, texts, music, Google Pay, and Google Assistant on its own when activated on a compatible carrier. That gives it more freedom than a standard Bluetooth-only smartwatch, especially when you do not want to keep your phone in your pocket the whole time.

The watch also features a bright 45mm Actua LTPO AMOLED display with up to 2000-nit peak brightness, Gorilla Glass 5, and a lightweight aluminum case. Google says battery life is improved over earlier models, with up to 24 hours with the always-on display enabled or up to 36 hours in Battery Saver mode.

Health and fitness are a big part of the package too. You get Fitbit-powered tracking, heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking, advanced running tools, and workout readiness-style insights. It also includes safety and wellness tools, including loss-of-pulse detection in supported regions. On the connectivity side, it supports Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, GPS, and Ultra-Wideband, and it works with Android phones running Android 10 or newer.

It also holds a 4.4-star rating, which adds a bit more confidence to the buy. At half off, this is one of those smartwatch deals that stands out right away.
