If you can't afford the Pixel Watch 3 at its otherwise remarkable Black Friday 2024 discounts of up to $120 but still prefer Google's clean Wear OS software approach over Samsung's more intrusive One UI-skinned experience, the Pixel Watch 2 might just be the best smartwatch for you right now.

Released more than a year ago at a base price of $350 and permanently marked down to $250 in an entry-level variant sans cellular connectivity on the heels of its sequel's launch a few months back, this undeniably stylish intelligent timepiece is currently as cheap as it's ever been.

That's thanks to an Amazon Black Friday Week discount of $70 from $350 with only Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth support in tow and a slightly deeper $100 slashed off a $299.99 list price in a 4G LTE-enabled variant. These are not completely unprecedented markdowns, mind you, but they are likely to go unbeaten this holiday shopping season... and beyond.

That's because it's really hard to imagine any major US retailers will be able to make the Pixel Watch 2 even cheaper anytime soon (or ever) once you consider all the key specs, features, and capabilities of this bad boy, not to mention that winning circular design and high-quality OLED touchscreen.

For its newly reduced prices, the second-gen Pixel Watch offers loads of health monitoring and fitness tracking tools for an overall value proposition that's pretty much impossible to eclipse right now. We're talking everything from potentially life-saving ECG technology to an always useful blood oxygen sensor, as well as a fancy sensor that measures your stress levels throughout the day, and of course, a good old fashioned heart rate monitor and sleep tracker as well.

What's interesting about the Pixel Watch 2 is that it's almost identical to the Pixel Watch 3 in many ways, which makes the extra expense associated with buying the newer edition quite hard to justify. Bottom line, you're looking at one of the best Black Friday smartwatch deals available this year, and although you still have plenty of time to go until Christmas, you probably shouldn't waste any of it waiting for a larger discount than $70 or $100 that may never arrive.
