💰 Deals & Price Drops

Apple Watch Series 11 dropped to $299 on sale as Google Pixel Watch 5 launches at $399, undercutting Google’s flagship by $100 at the exact moment of comparison. Cross-shoppers get a real Apple discount to weigh.

Marty’s Take:

The Series 11 discount isn’t Apple reacting to Pixel Watch 5, it’s Apple clearing inventory ahead of a fall refresh, timed to blunt Google’s launch headlines. Real signal: two credible $299-$399 smartwatches now compete for the same buyer. Check our best fitness tracker picks before assuming Apple’s price is the floor.
