This Google Pixel Watch 3 deal is a great option if you can't wait for the Pixel Watch 4

This bundle saves you $120 on our top Android watch and a pair of Pixel Buds

If you're an Android user in the market for a new smartwatch, there's a compelling bundle deal on the Google Pixel Watch 3 that's worth checking out. Amazon is offering the watch and a pair of Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $508.99—a $120 saving on their typical combined price.

Now, we need to address the elephant in the room. Yes, the Google Pixel Watch 4 is expected to be announced later this month. However, as we've been reporting, the latest rumors suggest the new watch might not actually ship until October.

That makes this deal a very interesting proposition for anyone who wants a top-tier Android watch on their wrist right now, without paying full launch-day prices for the next generation.

Originally priced at $628.99, the bundle will now only cost $508.99. That's a hefty saving of $120 just in time for the back-to-school season.

Why we still recommend the Pixel Watch 3:

Even with its successor on the horizon, the Pixel Watch 3 remains a top smartwatch recommendation for most Android users—particularly if you don't have a Samsung phone.

As we noted in our full review last year, this was the generation where Google finally fixed the biggest issues that held back its predecessors, transforming it into a stellar all-round device. Its combination of clean Wear OS software, excellent Fitbit-powered health tracking, and a standout design puts it ahead of the pack.

The single biggest game-changer was the introduction of a larger 45mm case size. This solved the Achilles' heel of the first two generations: battery life. In our testing of the 45mm model, we found it could comfortably last beyond 48 hours, even with the always-on display active. This elevated it from a frustrating daily charger into a reliable, multi-day companion you can trust for sleep tracking and more.

That's not to say it's perfect. The most significant compromise, and a key reason why some may still want to wait for the Pixel Watch 4, is its lack of dual-frequency GPS. While its standard GPS is solid for most, serious runners (and other outdoor trackers) will likely crave the improved accuracy that this typically brings. However, if top-tier GPS accuracy isn't your absolute priority, the Pixel Watch 3 is a superb choice.

This bundle effectively gives you a significant discount on our favorite Android watch, with a pair of solid earbuds thrown in as a bonus. If you want the best all-round smartwatch experience right now, this is an excellent way to get it for less.
