The Android faithful have more smartwatch options than ever, but there are a few obvious starting points. If you’re on a Samsung smartphone (like the Galaxy S25 series that’s launched today), you should probably go for a Galaxy Watch. For almost every other brand, the Google Pixel Watch 3 should be at or near the top of your list.
If you’ve perused our list of the best Android smartwatches and find yourself arriving at the same conclusion, you can come back here and take advantage of a Verge-exclusive discount from Wellbots that brings the 41mm wearable down to $289.99 ($60 off) when applying promo code 60VERGE at checkout. That’s just $10 shy of the all-time low. You can use the same code to get $60 off when selecting the 45mm version, dropping its price to $339.99.
If the Pixel Watch 2 was a decent improvement over its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 3 is a comparative stunner. If you’re in it for fitness, we feel it’s one of the best Fitbit-powered wearables available, with features like FDA-cleared EKGs, AI-generated workouts with automatic tracking, and daily readiness scores with load management. Of course, you also get comprehensive support for Google services, including Assistant, Gmail, Calendar, and Wallet. The Pixel Watch 3 brought additional upgrades to the lineup for the first time, too, like offline Google Maps, and improved battery life. Plus, you can now control more Google devices, such as Nest doorbells and cameras, or even Google TV.
