Best Pixel Watch Deals: Take Advantage of the Latest Discounts and Trade-in Offers on Our Favorite Android Smartwatch
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
The Pixel Watch 3 launched in September 2024, quickly earning CNET's top spot for the favorite Android smartwatch. Combining advanced fitness tracking capabilities with convenient smart features, this wearable has a lot to offer.
Amazon and several other retailers are only offering some small direct discounts, but you can score some substantial savings with an eligible trade-in or activation of a new line at select carriers. If the latest Pixel 3 is still a little out of your budget, there are also some deals on more affordable previous-gen models. With that in mind, we've rounded up the best places to get your hands on the Google Pixel 3 for less. We'll continue to update this page as offers come and go.
The Pixel Watch is available with or without cellular connectivity, and it comes in a couple of different sizes. Here's how pricing breaks down for the latest model, the Pixel Watch 3:
41mm Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi): $350
41mm Pixel Watch 3 (cellular): $450
45mm Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi): $400
45mm Pixel Watch 3 (cellular): $500
You can still get the previous-gen Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 if you know where to look, and these often cost a bit less since they are no longer the latest model.
These Pixel Watch deals will help you get your hands on one without paying full price. We've gathered the best Pixel Watch deals from retailers and carriers to help you find one with extra savings.
One of the biggest differences between the Watch 3 and other models is that the Pixel Watch 3 is available in two sizes, a larger 45mm version and the original 41mm size. And you now no longer need to pay to see your Fitbit Readiness Score, giving you a score out of 100 regarding things like sleep, activity and more. This watch is focused on running, helping with things like pace.
Best Buy has knocked $48 off the Pixel Watch 3 in champagne gold, which reduces the price to $302. In addition, the tech retailer runs a trade-in program where you can save even more in exchange for your old smartwatch.

If you purchase the Google Pixel Watch 3, you can save up to $450 with trade-in offers via Verizon. The exact trade-in amount depends on the condition, year and brand of the device.

Purchase two of the Pixel Watch 3 (or any Pixel Watch) on a 36-month installment plan at AT&T, and you'll get up to $450 off the starting price of the pair. You must add at least one new line and activate both watches on your wireless plan to get the savings, which will be in bill credits over 36 months.
See at AT&T
Those adding a compatible device (like the Pixel Watch 3) at T-Mobile can save up to $110 on the Pixel Watch 3; it will score you the 41mm model for just over $4.59 per month. The discount is applied as bill credits over 24 months.
See at T-Mobile
The Pixel Watch 2 is no longer the latest model in Google's stable, but it's still a solid smartwatch and can be found at a discount if you know where to look.
Google will take some cash off the price if you trade in an older smartwatch. The exact amount depends on what you are trading in. The newer your trade-in device is, the more you can save.
See at Google
The Pixel Watch 2 lists for $250 at Best Buy, which is the standard price for the model. No further deals are available. The only way to save more is if you have an older smartwatch to trade in.
See at Best Buy
The original Pixel Watch is a little more difficult to come by these days, especially at a price worth paying considering the newer models are often discounted. It's still possible to get the original watch refurbished at a cheaper rate, so it's well worth looking at if you are on a tight budget.
If you're considering a Pixel Watch but don't want to spend a fortune on the newest model, choosing a refurbished model is one way to save a decent chunk of change. Back Market has refurbished OG Pixel Watches from just $65. It's a cheaper way to dip your toes into the smartwatch waters.

When choosing laptop deals, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time. Our team of experts has tested hundreds of laptops to ensure we're bringing you the best options at the best prices. Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, including laptops. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know up front so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed. Other ways to save With potential tariff-related price hikes, now might be the best time to get these kinds of prices on laptops. There's a chance we may not see the same kinds of prices during the next shopping event. Make sure to check out Best Buy and Walmart for even more deals if you can't find one you like on Amazon.

I use these 15 hidden Android shortcuts, and you should too
Joe Maring / Android Authority The number of hidden Android shortcuts is mind-boggling. Once you include core apps, there are hundreds, and not all are created equal. Some are niche and depend on how you use your phone. Personally, I'm never going to be much of a one-handed mode or split-screen user, but those features have their fans. My favorite hidden Android shortcuts have much broader appeal. Once you hear about them, you'll be amazed that you were getting by without them. They're listed below, grouped by the app or system area they relate to. Editor's Note: This list was compiled using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus and a Google Pixel 8, both running Android 15. Many hidden Android shortcuts are brand-specific, so if you're on Moto, OPPO, or another brand, you might find that the exact shortcuts differ. Hidden Android camera shortcuts Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Galaxy S25 Everyone uses their phone camera, and some of these might already be familiar to you. You probably know that you can press a volume button to take a photo — it's one of the most intuitive tricks out there. But there's more to uncover, and once you get the hang of these gestures and button presses, you might never launch the camera from the home screen again. 1. Double-press the power button to open the camera app This works even if your phone is locked, and it's a super handy tip if you didn't know it already. Sometimes you need to take a picture quickly before you miss the moment, and the crucial couple of seconds it might take you to unlock your phone and hit the camera icon on your home screen could be the difference. Instead, just double-press the power button, and you're ready to shoot. 2. Double-press the power button again for a selfie Even if you knew the trick above, you might not realize that another quick double-tap of the power button flips your camera around. Should you happen to see your celebrity hero passing by on the street and need to get to the front camera of your phone quickly enough to capture a selfie, double-press the power button from your lock screen to open the camera app, then immediately double-press again to get the selfie shooter ready. 3. Hold the shutter to record video in photo mode Sometimes you're ready to take a photo, then you realize you should be filming the spectacular moment unfolding before you. Instead of moving your thumb or finger to flick to video mode, just hold the shutter button while still in photo mode. It will record a video for as long as you keep it pressed. Hidden Android keyboard shortcuts Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Most of these typing tricks come from Gboard — Google's default keyboard on many phones and a popular download on other devices. That said, many also work on Samsung's keyboard, even if it feels like you're fighting the interface half the time. How does the autocorrect on that thing manage to be so confident and so wrong simultaneously? 4. Swipe the spacebar to move the cursor This is probably the best-known and most useful Android keyboard shortcut. It's very fiddly to tap the cursor back into a specific point in the text you've been typing, and this tip means you don't have to. Hold down the spacebar and immediately swipe left or right to move the cursor through your text. 5. Swipe from the backspace key to delete full words This takes a little getting used to, but it is very much worth it. Rather than holding backspace to delete your message one character at a time, press down and swipe left relatively slowly. It will delete a word at a time, stopping when you release the hold or reach the other side of the keyboard with your swipe. 6. Hold the '?123' key and swipe to a symbol Ryan Haines / Android Authority It can be annoying to hit the '?123' key to grab one number or symbol, then have to press it again to get back to your letters. Instead, hold the '?123' key and swipe to the number or symbol you need. It will appear in your text, and when you release the hold, you'll be back at the main keyboard. 7. Hold the period key for punctuation options As much as I love the shortcut above, there's an even faster way to get to some of the alternative punctuation options. To quickly bring up the likes of parentheses, ampersands, and many more, hold the period key to the right of the spacebar. While holding, swipe to the punctuation you want, and release. 8. Tap shift to cycle through lowercase, uppercase, and capitalized If you forgot to capitalize a name or want to put a word all in capitals for emphasis, no rewriting is needed. Just highlight the word and hit the shift key. As you tap, it will cycle that word between lowercase, uppercase, and capitalized. Hidden Android browser shortcuts Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As the default browser on most Android phones, these shortcuts are primarily from Google Chrome. However, they also work in other browsers like Firefox, Edge, and even Samsung Internet, depending on your device and version. If you spend as much time in your mobile browser as I do, these gestures can make everything feel a bit snappier. 9. Swipe across the URL bar to switch tabs It doesn't take long to press the tabs icon (the little square with a number in it) and select another tab, but you can get to an adjacent tab even quicker this way. Swipe left or right across the URL address bar to jump between them — no need to open the full tab view. It's particularly handy for comparing info or multitasking. 10. Swipe down on the URL bar to open the tab switcher This trick saves you even less time, as it's the difference between tapping an icon and swiping down. That said, it can be handy if you're mainly using your left thumb to browse, as I am. Swiping down on the address bar pulls up the tab switcher instantly, so you can jump to a specific page or close the ones you don't need. 11. Tap and hold the tab icon for quick options Want to open a new tab or close the current one without diving into menus? Just long-press the tab icon to bring up a few handy shortcuts. It's not really any quicker than the three-dot menu for a new tab or incognito tab in terms of taps, but again, it's cleaner and easier if you're stretching part of your left hand across. Other hidden Android shortcuts Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Old vs. new Quick Settings tile list in Android These are a bit of a grab bag that don't quite fit into the other categories, but are still incredibly useful. Most are built into Android, but a couple are specific to Samsung and Pixel phones and may need enabling in the settings. 12. Swipe down with two fingers to expand Quick Settings If you've disabled the split layout in One UI 7, as I have, this shortcut is a great way to jump straight to the toggles. Swiping down from the top of your screen normally shows notifications first and requires a second swipe to access your Quick Settings. But if you use two fingers instead, you get the full Quick Settings panel right away. 13. Tap the clock in the notification panel to open the Clock app (Pixel only) On Pixel phones, tapping the clock in the top-left corner of your notification panel opens the Clock app. It's perfect for quickly setting an alarm, and makes so much sense that it's hard to believe everyone doesn't know this one already. 14. Back tap to toggle the flashlight (Pixel only) Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority On Pixel phones, you can enable a 'Quick Tap' gesture that triggers an action when you double-tap the back of the phone. Assign it to the flashlight, and you'll get a near-instant torch. On Samsung, you can set up something similar using the Good Lock app and the RegiStar module. It's a little more effort, but handy if you use the flashlight often. 15. Long-press the flashlight tile in Quick Settings to adjust brightness (Samsung only) I can't believe how long I went without knowing that the flashlight has different brightness levels. If you're on a Samsung phone, try long-pressing the flashlight icon in your Quick Settings. You'll get a slider that lets you adjust the brightness. It's ideal for when you don't need full blast but still want a bit of light. Bonus: Activate Lockdown Mode from the power menu This is a bonus tip because I admit I've never had to use it, but that's just the point — it's no use learning it after the time you need it arrives. Lockdown Mode is a privacy feature that disables biometric unlock, trusted devices, and lock screen notifications. It's there when you need maximum security, perhaps during travel or protests. It also protects you from juice jacking. You'll need to enable it first in your security settings, but once it's on, long-press the power button and tap 'Lockdown' to activate it. Only your PIN or password will unlock the device from that point.

The CEO of startup Rilla gives his employees up to $1,500 a month to live closer to the office—But there's a catch
Companies offer all kinds of unusual benefits these days, from wellness retreats to executive gap years. At AI startup Rilla, employees get the chance to take advantage of a vanishingly rare corporate perk: a rent stipend to cover the high cost of living in New York City. But there are some strings attached. To receive the money, up to $1,500, employees have to live within 10 to 15 minutes of the company's Long Island City-based office, and are expected to work around 70 hours a week in person. Sebastian Jimenez, Rilla's CEO and co-founder, says that the rent stipend is an incentive meant to limit commuting time so employees can designate it to their jobs instead. 'One of our core principles is to maximize productive time,' says Jimenez, who started the company in 2019, and lives within a five minute walk to the office. 'If you live 30 minutes away from the office, that's an hour a day that you could be working.' So far, around a dozen out of roughly 80 employees have taken Rilla up on the rent offer. And it's certainly a tempting proposal given the perennially high cost of New York City rent. In the last year alone, the median rent for properties in New York City increased 5.6% to $3,397, according to data from The rent benefit is just one example of Rilla's hardcore work culture. The company uses a '996' calendar; employees are expected to work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days per week. Jimenez says the company also frequently holds off-site events on Sundays. Jimenez rejects the 'work smarter not harder' concept, and says the only way for teams to be successful is to put in the most hours possible. However, he does advocate for a full night's rest. 'We want them to take care of themselves, to work out, to eat healthy. We want them to maximize their time and still sleep eight hours a day,' he says. 'They can do this and still have one or two hours of leisure time in their day outside of work, which is plenty of time to do the important things in life.' In addition to the rent benefit, the company also allows employees to expense at least two meals a day, and covers gym memberships. It also appears to offer generally high compensation for various roles. A product designer role has a salary of $110,000 to $230,000 per year, according to Rilla's website, and a software engineer can make $200,000 – $300,000. People working in sales have an annual salary average of around $350,000, says Jimenez. Rilla might be an extreme example when it comes to intense work hours, but companies are increasingly more comfortable asking workers for more. In a cost-cutting environment, leaders are being tasked with finding ways to get more productivity out of their employees without hiring additional people. In an internal memo to employees in February, Google co-founder told employees that 60 hour work weeks are the 'sweet spot' for productivity. And a recent report from Microsoft found that the average work day is stretching later, with meetings after 8 p.m. rising 16% since last year, and around 29% of workers checking their inboxes after 10 p.m. Rilla does go out of its way to let job candidates know exactly what they're signing up for. Job postings on the company's website tell workers not to apply if they're not excited about 'working 70 hrs per week in person with some of the most ambitious people in NYC.' The company also lays out these expectations on a 'culture deck' that all potential employees are required to read before accepting a position, says Jimenez. He doesn't necessarily recommend other companies follow suit, and he knows that kind of work schedule doesn't work for most people. He says most of the people he hires are startup founders themselves, or D1 athletes fresh out of college; anyone who is 'used to working 13 hours a day' and 'always wants to be busy.' 'This is by no means the way to run every startup,' he says. 'This is just the way it works for us.' This story was originally featured on Sign in to access your portfolio
