Pixel Watch 5 LTE Drops $100 With 2 Years of Free Data

3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Nov 4

Summary

  • $100 discounts cut the Pixel Watch 5 LTE to $400 for the 42mm model and $430 for the 45mm version on Amazon.
  • The offer also includes a basic Google Fi data plan for two years, adding cellular service value beyond the 20% hardware price cut.
  • Both sizes share the same internals, with the choice mainly coming down to screen size rather than features.
  • Google’s latest Wear OS watch makes only modest upgrades over the prior model, but still offers about two days of battery life, 30-minute fast charging and strong health tracking.
