On the eve of the year's great shopping season, Amazon has quietly lowered the price of Google's first smartwatch from $349 to $299 for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth model. It is a small markdown, but it marks the first moment this new device has yielded to the pull of the bargain calendar, and its end date remains unknown. For Android owners weighing a wearable that threads Google's apps and Fitbit's health tracking into one wrist, the question is less about whether the price is fair than about how long the window stays open.
Google Pixel Watch Drops to $299 at Amazon in First Black Friday Discount
The first Pixel Watch deal arrives at $299, a $50 cut
Mark
So what actually changed here? The watch got cheaper?
Mimi
Yes. Amazon has the Pixel Watch at $299 instead of $349, a $50 cut, on the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth model, in all colors.
Mark
Why is that notable? Fifty dollars isn't unusual in Black Friday season.
Mimi
It's notable because it's the first discount the reviewer has seen on Google's first smartwatch. It's also similar to the cuts on the Galaxy Watch 5 and Apple Watch Series 8.
Luke
Worth noting that "first ever" is the reviewer's observation, not something Amazon or Google has stated.
Mimi
Fair. The article says they haven't seen this deal before, which is narrower than a verified price history.
Mark
And how long does it last?
Luke
Nobody knows. The piece says so directly. The urgency is advice, not a published end date.
Mark
Who is the watch actually for?
Mimi
Android users. It runs Wear OS and connects to Google services like Maps, Pay and Assistant, but it doesn't work with iPhones.
Luke
And the praise for fitness tracking comes from the outlet's own review. This article doesn't give test data, so treat it as one reviewer's verdict.
Der Puls
- Amazon has cut the Pixel Watch to $299, and the reduction is arriving before Black Friday has even begun.
- This is the first discount the watch has ever received, so shoppers have no pattern to predict when it might vanish.
- The offer covers only the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth model, while every color qualifies, leaving buyers to choose quickly among a narrow set of options.
- Its length is undisclosed, and the reviewer urges anyone interested to act now rather than wait for deeper cuts.

Amazon has lowered the price of the Google Pixel Watch to $299, down $50 from its usual $349. The markdown arrived ahead of Black Friday and, according to Tom's Guide, marks the first discount the watch has seen since its release.
The reduction applies only to the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version, and every color is included. Discounts on the Pixel Watch have been rare, partly because it is new and Google's first smartwatch. A $50 cut is in line with what shoppers are finding on other major models, such as the Galaxy Watch 5 and Apple Watch Series 8.
Tom's Guide praised the watch as a very good fitness device, built on Fitbit tracking with heart rate monitoring, a blood oxygen sensor, ECG support, and a 24-hour battery. It comes in one 41mm size and three colors, but accepts many interchangeable straps. Running Wear OS, it links closely with Google Maps, Gmail, Google Assistant and other Google services. The catch is that it works only with Android phones.
Amazon has not said how long the $299 price will last, so the reviewer advises acting quickly.
Amazon has dropped the price of the Google Pixel Watch to $299, a $50 cut from the $349 it normally costs. The markdown showed up ahead of Black Friday and, according to Tom's Guide, it is the first discount the watch has received since Google released it.
The price applies only to the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth model. Every color is included in the limited-time offer. The reviewer says this deal has never appeared before and that nobody knows how long Amazon will keep it going, which is the main reason the advice is to move quickly if you want one.
Discounts on the Pixel Watch have been scarce largely because it is new and is Google's first smartwatch. A $50 reduction is in line with what shoppers are seeing on other major smartwatches, including the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Apple Watch Series 8.
On the product itself, Tom's Guide calls it a very good fitness smartwatch in its Pixel Watch review. It uses Fitbit fitness tracking and supports Fitbit Premium. It also includes heart rate monitoring, a blood oxygen (SpO2) sensor, ECG support, and a battery rated for 24 hours.
Choice is narrower than with some rivals. The watch comes in a single 41mm size and three colors, though it works with a range of interchangeable straps sold in several materials.
The watch runs Wear OS, so it ties into Google Maps, Google Pay, Google Calendar, Google Assistant, YouTube Music, Gmail and Google Home. That integration is a major reason Tom's Guide placed it on its list of the best smartwatches, and the outlet describes it as the accessory Pixel phone owners have been waiting for.
There is one firm limit: the Pixel Watch works only with Android phones. iPhone owners are pointed toward Tom's Guide's roundup of Apple Watch Black Friday deals instead.
The outlet is also running a Black Friday live blog covering deals through Cyber Monday. Whether Amazon holds the $299 price or ends it early is the thing to watch, since the duration has not been disclosed.
