Ever since the Google Pixel Watch 4 came out this summer, the Pixel Watch 3 became “old,” which means you can expect a better price for it. And right now, Walmart is selling the wifi-only 45mm Google Pixel Watch 3 for $224.33 (originally $399.99) after a $175.66 discount. It might have been supplanted by the Pixel Watch 4, but the Pixel Watch 3 is still a great fitness watch in 2025, and it’s at a great price right now.
Certainly there is not enough of a difference between the Pixel Watch 4 and the Pixel Watch 3 to warrant an upgrade if you already own the latter. The main differences are the 4’s ultra-fast charging, satellite SOS, and dual-band GPS. But if those things aren’t very important to you, the Pixel Watch 3 can still get you the latest Pixel software features for much less money.
The Pixel Watch series has never been known for its long battery life, although the third generation improved the battery significantly, to 36 hours. That might not be anywhere near what you can get from competitors like Garmin, but the Pixel makes up for it with other features. The display is bright and can be seen outdoors on a sunny day while wearing polarized glasses, a big plus for outdoor enthusiasts. It offers a ton of fitness metrics, including recovery and running dynamics that are perfect for casual fitness, according to Lifehacker senior health editor Beth Skwarecki’s review. The GPS tracking is good, but not perfect, so sticklers should probably go with a different option if this is an important feature. The sleep and heart rate monitor are reliable, however. Keep in mind the Pixel Watch 3 is all touchscreen, and there are no physical buttons, which is a pro or con depending on your preferences.
What do you think so far?
If you’re not a professional athlete and are looking for a health- and fitness-focused smart watch that will save you money in the Android ecosystem, the Pixel Watch 3 is a great buy right now.
