We are officially in the thick of spring, and Google is celebrating by dropping some seriously enticing discounts. And right now, you can grab the Pixel Watch 4 for $40 off at Best Buy and the Google Store. That drops the 41mm Wi-Fi model down to $309.99 and the larger 45mm version to $359.99. But you have to act quickly, as this entire spring promo vanishes this Sunday, April 26th.
The Android watch to beat
I really believe the Pixel Watch 4 is one of the best Android wearables you can buy right now. I’ve had the larger 45mm model on my wrist since it launched, and I honestly don’t have any complaints. The immediate standout is the domed 3,000-nit display, which is really bright and easy to read even when you’re out and about in the midday sun. And thanks to a more efficient processor and a beefier battery, the 45mm model is easily pushing 45 hours of battery life.
You are also getting all the premium fitness tracking you could ask for, plus dual-frequency GPS that actually keeps your runs accurately mapped when you’re surrounded by tall city buildings or thick trees. And because it’s a Google device, the software integration is flawless, giving you quick access to offline Maps, Wallet, and a super intuitive raise-to-talk gesture for Gemini.
A completely repairable design
But honestly, the biggest reason I think this is the perfect time to buy has nothing to do with the software. As we covered recently, the Pixel Watch 4 isn’t just another disposable piece of tech; it is the new gold standard for smartwatch repairability.
For the first time in the Pixel Watch lineup, breaking your screen or dealing with a degraded battery after a couple of years doesn’t mean you have to throw the whole watch away. You can actually get it fixed. That completely changes the value proposition of spending over $300 on a wearable. It finally feels like a safe, long-term investment rather than a gadget you’ll have to replace in 12-18 months.
I know that a lot of you might be holding onto older Wear OS watches, waiting for a device that actually feels complete before making the jump. Between the battery life, the repairable design, and this $40 discount, I think this is the moment to pull the trigger.
