If you’re an Android user who has been staring longingly at the wrists of people with smartwatches, but haven’t had the impetus (or the cash) to buy one yourself, this may be your chance. The last-gen Google Pixel Watch 2 is currently on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google for about $149, a savings of $100 off of its usual price of $249 and only $4 more than its lowest past price of $145.

The 41mm Pixel Watch 2 is Google’s second try at creating a smart watch that would compete with the Apple Watch, and while it doesn’t quite come up to the standards of the latest Google Watch 3, it is still a solid and useful device. It comes with sensors for heart rate tracking, skin temperature, and stress management, Emergency SOS and fall detection, and a safety check feature for when you’re trying to get home okay in tricky situations. It also has a battery that will last you all day — something that its predecessor lacked. Read our review.

On the other hand, if you’re determined to get the latest model of Google’s watch, the 41mm version of the Pixel Watch 3 is also on sale at Amazon and Google for $299.99, which is $50 off its usual price of $349.99. Our reviewer found that the Watch 3 offered a multitude of tweaks and improvements that added up to a better experience, including a brighter display and smaller bezel, even better battery life, and a bunch of fitness and health updates, including custom running workouts and a revamped daily readiness score.

On the other hand…

• If you’re an Apple Watch enthusiast, Nomad is running a sale in honor of 10 years of the Apple Watch where you can get $10 off all sorts of Apple Watch accessories by using the code 10YEARS at checkout. It includes such things as the Rocky Point Band, a snazzy titanium watch band; a 65W power adapter, and the Base One Max 3-in-1 charger.  
• I recently unearthed my old Ultimate Ears UE Boom speaker, which I got over 10 years ago, and while it still works, I’m wondering whether I should update using Woot’s sale of the latest Wonderboom Play Bluetooth speaker for $36.99, a savings of $53 over the market price of $89.99. Ultimate Ears speakers are known for their great sound, and the WonderBoom Play offers up to 10 hours of music per charge along with an IP67 rating, so it’s perfect for summer parties.  
• If you’re looking for a low-cost but efficient tracker, the UGREEN FineTrack Smart Finder is now available at Amazon for $12.59 using the on-page coupon, which is a savings of $7.40 over its usual $19.99 price. The FineTrack uses the Apple Find My network to help you keep track of your keys, bags and other items; it features a replaceable battery (and doesn’t require a case).
• And finally, back to Google: the Pixel Buds A-series wireless earbuds are on sale at Amazon for $59, $40 off the usual $99 price. These are not Google’s top-level earbuds, but they are comfortable and offer good sound and IPX4 water resistance. Read our review.
