The Android faithful have more smartwatch options than ever, but there are a few obvious starting points. If you’re on a Samsung smartphone (like the Galaxy S25 series that’s launched today), you should probably go for a Galaxy Watch. For almost every other brand, the Google Pixel Watch 3 should be at or near the top of your list.

If you’ve perused our list of the best Android smartwatches and find yourself arriving at the same conclusion, you can come back here and take advantage of a Verge-exclusive discount from Wellbots that brings the 41mm wearable down to $289.99 ($60 off) when applying promo code 60VERGE at checkout. That’s just $10 shy of the all-time low. You can use the same code to get $60 off when selecting the 45mm version, dropping its price to $339.99.

If the Pixel Watch 2 was a decent improvement over its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 3 is a comparative stunner. If you’re in it for fitness, we feel it’s one of the best Fitbit-powered wearables available, with features like FDA-cleared EKGs, AI-generated workouts with automatic tracking, and daily readiness scores with load management. Of course, you also get comprehensive support for Google services, including Assistant, Gmail, Calendar, and Wallet. The Pixel Watch 3 brought additional upgrades to the lineup for the first time, too, like offline Google Maps, and improved battery life. Plus, you can now control more Google devices, such as Nest doorbells and cameras, or even Google TV.

Three more deals to start your weekend

• You can get a four-pack of Tile by Life360 Mate Bluetooth trackers for $55.99 ($24 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Tile, which works out to about $14 per piece and matches the all-time low. The Bluetooth tracker is compatible with both Android smartphones and iPhones, offering basic item tracking when you’re within 350 feet. You can also double-tap a button to locate your phone, so putting on on your set of keys or your daily carry bag is ideal. With a $14.99 a month Life360 Gold subscription, you can also discretely send SOS alerts to contacts or hail emergency services.
• The original CRKD Nitro Deck for Nintendo Switch is matching its record low of $39.99 ($10 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and CRKD’s online store. It’s an ergonomic Switch cradle that replaces your finicky Joy-Con controllers with a pair of Hall effect analog sticks, plus four programmable buttons and turbo control. It also supports gyroscopic motion controls and rumble. It plugs into the Switch or Switch OLED using their USB-C ports, with passthrough charging available through its own USB-C port. It doesn’t support passthrough video, however — you’d need the Nitro Deck Plus ($69.99 at Amazon) with a USB-C adapter for that.
• Verge readers can get a pair of Google Pixel Buds A for $69 ($30 off) at Wellbots with exclusive promo code 30VERGE. That’s their second best price to date. They’re a solid, affordable pair of wireless earbuds for anyone needing an affordable backup pair. You won’t get top-line bells and whistles we like, such as active noise cancellation, but they’re comfortable to wear and sound just as good as the original Pixel Buds. Although you can use them with iPhones, the Pixel Buds A work best with Android phones, as you’ll get support for Fast Pair, location tracking, in-ear detection, EQ, and more features available in the companion app. Read our review.
