We've covered Pixel Watch discounts before, but we think this one is taking things to another level. The Pixel Watch 3 is still a great buy in 2026. You're getting the same sleek design that the Pixel Watch is known for, along with software updates that will keep it fresh for years to come. Furthermore, this watch can connect using LTE, which means you'll always be connected no matter where you are.
One of the best Wear OS smartwatches for less
We really liked this watch when we first reviewed it. Not only are you getting a bright and vibrant AMOLED screen, but the chip inside makes all the software run buttery smooth. In case you were wondering, this watch features Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5 chip that's paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
This model will provide a full day of battery life, and can also handle pretty much anything you can throw at it thanks to its IP68 rating. Like many other smartwatches, you get excellent health and fitness tracking. Furthermore, the watch can help you better understand your body with additional tracked metrics as well.
Stay connected
And if all of that wasn't enough, you can stay connected without having a phone in your pocket thanks to the watch's LTE connection. Of course, you will need to get this connected to the carrier of your choice. But once you do, it's a convenient feature to have, especially if you just want the simplicity of staying in the know without having to respond.
Again, software updates are going to be critical here, with Google providing three years with this watch, which means you'll get all the latest Wear OS updates until 2027. Now, that doesn't mean the watch will stop working at that time. It just means you won't get any new software features after that last update.
