If you’re an Android user who has been staring longingly at the wrists of people with smartwatches, but haven’t had the impetus (or the cash) to buy one yourself, this may be your chance. The last-gen Google Pixel Watch 2 is currently on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google for about $149, a savings of $100 off of its usual price of $249 and only $4 more than its lowest past price of $145.
The 41mm Pixel Watch 2 is Google’s second try at creating a smart watch that would compete with the Apple Watch, and while it doesn’t quite come up to the standards of the latest Google Watch 3, it is still a solid and useful device. It comes with sensors for heart rate tracking, skin temperature, and stress management, Emergency SOS and fall detection, and a safety check feature for when you’re trying to get home okay in tricky situations. It also has a battery that will last you all day — something that its predecessor lacked. Read our review.

Our reviewer found that the Watch 3 offered a multitude of tweaks and improvements that added up to a better experience, including a brighter display and smaller bezel, even better battery life, and a bunch of fitness and health updates, including custom running workouts and a revamped daily readiness score.
