Google’s Pixel Watch 2, our favorite Fitbit smartwatch, is cheaper than ever
Given how popular health-related New Year’s resolutions are, it makes sense to expect that a ton of good smartwatch deals will drop in January. This year is no exception, with retailers discounting everything from the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to more budget-friendly options like the Apple Watch SE and Fitbit Inspire 3. And now, a great Google Pixel Watch 2 deal has popped up that our Android readers will particularly appreciate. Right now, Google’s Pixel Watch 2 has returned to its all-time low price of $299.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
Our favorite Fitbit smartwatch boasts even more Fitbit-powered health features and Google apps than its predecessor, including automatic workout tracking and access to Google Calendar and Gmail. What’s also great is that you don’t need to own a Google Pixel phone to get the most from the smartwatch, as is the case with Samsung’s watches. Most features are available to all users, which is why the Wear OS 4 wearable is also our top Android pick for non-Samsung users. It helps, too, that the Pixel Watch 2 lasts longer and can charge much faster than its predecessor, reaching 50 percent in about half an hour.
Don’t worry, Apple aficionados, we’ve also got a good deal for you today. If you’re looking for a portable power bank to juice up your iPhone, right now the Anker 622 Magnetic Battery (MagGo) has returned to its best price of $39.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. It’s also available for the same price directly from Anker, though you’ll have to use the promo code WSPEU5CTPZ to buy it there.
Like Apple’s now discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack, the power bank delivers 7.5 watts of power to your smartphone. However, the 5,000mAh battery pack boasts double the battery capacity of Apple’s accessory. It also comes with a sturdy built-in foldable kickstand that’s strong enough to prop up even Max-sized iPhones. Plus, unlike its predecessor, it now comes with a USB-C port that offers passthrough wireless charging, so you can prop up your phone and use it as a wireless charging pad.
