While the buzz surrounding Made by Google 2024 has largely focused on the Pixel 9, a recent leak sheds light on the pricing structure of the upcoming Pixel Watch 3.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the key takeaways:
-
Price Difference Based on Size: The leak, courtesy of Dealabs (known for accurate leaks on European Pixel products), reveals a price distinction between the 41mm and 45mm Pixel Watch 3 models. The smaller size is expected to retain its predecessor’s €399 starting price, the Pixel Watch 2. However, the larger 45mm variant boasts a €50 premium, bringing its base price to €449.
-
Cellular Connectivity Adds a Hefty Price Tag: The leak also suggests a significant price jump for opting for the cellular (4G LTE) version of the Pixel Watch 3. The 41mm with cellular connectivity is rumored to cost €100 more than the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth model, reaching €499. The price difference is even steeper for the 45mm variant, with the cellular option reaching a hefty €549, a €100 increase from the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth version.
-
US Pricing Likely Follows Suit: While the leak specifies European pricing, US pricing is expected to follow a similar pattern. The base price for the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 in the US will likely remain at $349, with the 45mm variant potentially starting at $399. The cellular upgrade is also expected to cost an additional $100, aligning with Apple Watch pricing but surpassing Samsung’s current $50 premium for cellular connectivity.
