While I would recommend Google’s newest Pixel Watch 4 for most people looking at smartwatches on the Android side of things, there are still price drops big enough to look at the previous model. Today, there’s a deal on the Pixel Watch 3 that drops it to just $170. That’s pretty close to a 50% … Continued Read the original post: Here’s a Pixel Watch 3 for Only $170 Read more ›
