The Pixel Watch 3 is now official and pre-ordering can be the best way to get a bargain, especially when Google is effectively giving you the smartwatch for free with this amazing trade-in deal.
We’ve seen some pretty good trade-in deals on the Google Store before, including a Pixel 8a for just £9, but this offer will get you the latest flagship for nothing, plus additional perks.
In the US, Google is offering up to $350 trade-in on the Pixel Watch 3. Since it starts at $349.99 for the 41mm Wi-Fi model, you won’t be paying anything if you opt for the cheapest. You’ll need to trade in an Apple Watch but it doesn’t even need to be the latest model.
Google is accepting the Apple Watch Ultra, Ultra 2, Series 9 and Series 8 for this price. There are also more decent trade-in offers if you have a Google, Samsung or Fitbit wearable.
In addition, you also get 6 months of Fitbit Premium for free with your purchase (usually $59.94), and anyone opting for an LTE model will get two years of free data via Google Fi Wireless.
Though there are some caveats to the mobile data element as my colleague Michael Crider explains.
