That’s because the 2022-released Wear OS device, which is obviously not getting any younger, has just hit a new record low price of $119.99 over at Woot. Before you even think it, no, these crazy cheap units on sale there for a limited time only are not refurbished or pre-owned, although they do come with a 90-day warranty that’s likely to prove too short for some prospective buyers.
Then again, if you want full 1-year coverage from the smartwatch’s manufacturer itself, you’ll have to cough up an extra 25 bucks at Woot parent Amazon right now and settle for a Wi-Fi-only Pixel Watch variant available in a single silver case color paired with a “Chalk” active band.
Woot’s totally unprecedented and presumably unbeatable new deal, meanwhile, gives you a choice between four different color combos (at least if you hurry), not to mention that your 120 bucks are amazingly enough to get you standalone cellular connectivity on your wrist in addition to GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi support.
Once again, I have to highlight that this is by no means a perfect smartwatch, suffering from a whole slew of software issues (still) while offering sub-par battery life (even by the mediocre standards of the Wear OS ecosystem) and only coming in one 41mm size that’s obviously unlikely to satisfy all of its potential owners and wearers.
All that being said, the software is really not so bad that it harms the value proposition at an ultra-low price of $119.99. Not when you also consider that gorgeous circular touchscreen, the super-stylish overall design, handy Google Assistant support, and not-terrible overall performance. “Not terrible” is perhaps the best way to describe this device on the whole, while this particular offer is objectively pretty great.
