Should you buy the Pixel Watch 4 now that Google's latest in-house wearable device is on sale at a new record high discount in its most affordable variants? Not... so fast if you think you can live with the older and only slightly humbler Pixel Watch 3... at the right price.

Yes, the search giant's 2024-released Apple Watch rival can be had at a lower-than-ever price of its own in a 41mm size sans cellular connectivity. You may need to hurry if you want to take advantage of Amazon's latest and greatest discount on an entry-level Pixel Watch 3 model, though, both because the e-commerce giant could put an end to this promotion at any moment and because the timepiece itself might be approaching its discontinuation.

After all, Best Buy was clearing its inventory a little over a month ago, and even Amazon appears to be gradually running out of stock for certain models and colorways. At the time of this writing, you can slash 80 bucks off a list price of $249.99 in Champagne Gold and Polished Silver hues (with Hazel and Porcelain bands, respectively), but if you're not quick, one or both of those variants could go away before you get a chance to order them.

Keep in mind that the Pixel Watch 3 was not released at a starting price of 250 bucks a year and a half ago, instead originally fetching $349.99, so compared to that, you're actually looking at saving no less than $180.

More importantly, you can get what's still undeniably one of the best smartwatches you can pair with a (new or old) Android phone at a simply unbeatable price. Yes, the Pixel Watch 4 is better (or a lot better) in many ways, but I believe the superior value proposition right now may actually be with the older and significantly cheaper edition.

I also think you only need to take a brief look at our in-depth Pixel Watch 3 review from 2024 (or even just a look at the smartwatch's beautiful design) to understand where I'm coming from and appreciate (in addition to said design) the excellent overall performance, brilliant software support, all-day comfort, accuracy and reliability of the health monitoring technology, and Google's efforts to regularly fix bugs and improve the overall user experience.
