Of course, pricing remains a concern. Earlier reports suggested that Google plans to useolder processing hardware to power the Pixel Watch, potentially reducing itsperformance or battery life. Obviously, we’ll have to get our hands on one to see how that shakes out. In the meantime, today’s report does suggest that the Pixel Watch will be far from a budget wearable — even if it’s not the most expensive device on the market. 9to5Google reports that the cellular version will launch for $399, excluding any carrier deals or trade-in offers.
That’s a pricey gadget, more expensive than the cellular versions of the Watch 5. It’s unclear how Google plans to price the GPS+Wi-Fi variant, though $299 or $349 seem like safe bets. Either way, it’s far from the affordable wearable many might’ve been hoping for — especially once youconsider the proprietary bands. We’ll need to wait until this fall to find out whether it’s worth your hard-earned cash.
