[Update] A renewed Pixel Watch 2 is a steal at under $80 on Amazon

The Pixel Watch 2 is a solid option if you can live with the single-size option, but at under $80, it’s a steal.

Update 05/21: The sub-$80 deal emerges again as the black Pixel Watch 2 has dipped below the $80 barrier – to $75 – again if you want a very cheap and reliable entry into Wear OS 6 later this year. If you want a cheap Android phone companion this might be the best value proposition out there right now.

Update 05/15: While the insanely cheap $75 Pixel Watch 2 stock is slowly dwindling, you can still grab one for a similarly incredible $85. Even that $10 increase is still a steal given that this is a great wearable to pair with your Pixel or any other Android phone, and given the Wear OS 6 update is due to come to this wearable, it’s even more of a steal.

We’ve said it here time and time again that while there are lots of new and upcoming smartwatches vying for your hard-earned money, you can get some serious bang for your buck by buying a slightly older wearable at a substantially discounted price. Considering that, a renewed Pixel Watch 2 is an absolute steal at Amazon – provided you are happy with a smaller wristwatch.

Although we recommend the 45mm Pixel Watch 3 to most people, the $399 start price is still pretty steep. The 41mm Pixel Watch 3 is, for all intents and purposes, the same wearable as the Pixel Watch 2. It utilizes the same Snapdragon Wear W5 Gen 1 chip, 32GB storage, and 2GB onboard RAM. The 41mm watches even have the same 306mAh battery tucked inside. If you just want a deeply integrated accessory to pair with a Pixel phone or practically any other Android phone, for that matter, the Pixel Watch 2 is still an incredibly solid experience.

Amazon currently has the Pixel Watch 2 listed from just $75 right now via the “Amazon Renewed” storefront. That’s a substantial saving even on the discounted $149.99 Pixel Watch 2 on the Google Store. It usually retails for $249.99, while the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 is still $299.99 when on sale. The first-generation Pixel Watch is a tough sell even at $49.99 on Amazon’s refurbished center, but the sequel is a great buy given just how similar it is to the latest model.

For under $80 the Pixel Watch 2 is a steal in our book. Plus Amazon’s return guarantees and the company’s money-back policies are second to none.
