The US Google Store has launched a fresh set of New Year’s deals heading into 2026, bringing back several familiar discounts across Pixel Watch, Pixel Buds, and streaming hardware. If you missed the last round of promotions that wrapped up recently, this new window offers another chance to save—especially if you’re shopping for a smartwatch or earbuds.
Pixel Watch 4: $50 off at Google Store, deeper discounts at Amazon for LTE
The headline smartwatch deal is on the Wi‑Fi and LTE versions of the Pixel Watch 4. Google is once again taking $50 off via its own store, but there’s a key wrinkle: Amazon is currently offering a larger discount on the cellular models.
Here’s how the current pricing breaks down for Pixel Watch 4 in the US:
- PW4 41mm Wi‑Fi: $299.99 at the Google Store; $299.99 at Amazon
- PW4 41mm LTE: $399.99 at the Google Store; $349.99 at Amazon
- PW4 45mm Wi‑Fi: $349.99 at the Google Store; $349.99 at Amazon
- PW4 45mm LTE: $449.99 at the Google Store; $399.99 at Amazon
In practical terms, that means shoppers who specifically want LTE connectivity may find the most aggressive pricing at Amazon right now, while Wi‑Fi buyers are seeing price parity between the two retailers on the models listed above.
What Wi‑Fi vs. LTE means for Pixel Watch buyers
If you’re weighing which version to buy, the decision often comes down to whether you want your watch to stay connected away from your phone. Wi‑Fi models rely on your phone (or a known Wi‑Fi network) for data, while LTE models are designed for cellular connectivity when paired with a compatible plan. LTE can be a better fit for runners and commuters who want calls, messages, or streaming without always carrying their phone, but it typically costs more up front—making the size of the discount especially relevant.
Pixel Watch 3 discounts: 41mm LTE and 45mm Wi‑Fi/LTE price cuts
Google’s New Year’s 2026 deals also reach back to Pixel Watch 3, with markdowns varying by size and connectivity. The 41mm LTE model is discounted by $50, while the 45mm lineup gets larger cuts depending on the configuration.
- 41mm Pixel Watch 3 LTE: $50 off to $299.99
- 45mm Pixel Watch 3 Wi‑Fi: $70 off to $229.99
- 45mm Pixel Watch 3 LTE: $100 off to $299.99
For shoppers prioritizing value, the 45mm Pixel Watch 3 Wi‑Fi pricing stands out as one of the steepest percentage drops listed, while the 45mm LTE version also gets a notable $100 reduction.
Deal deadline: January 10, 2026
These Pixel Watch discounts are time-limited. Google’s promotion window for the watch deals ends on January 10, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so anyone hoping to lock in the pricing should keep that cutoff in mind—especially if you’re coordinating a purchase with a carrier plan for an LTE model.
Pixel Buds deals: Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a
Audio is also part of the New Year’s promotion, with discounts on both premium and more affordable Pixel Buds models.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are discounted by $50 to $179 at the Google Store, with the same price also appearing at Amazon.
Meanwhile, the Pixel Buds 2a get a smaller discount—$20 off—bringing them to $109 at the Google Store, with a matching offer at Amazon.
Choosing between Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a
Within Google’s earbuds lineup, the pricing gap between the discounted Pixel Buds Pro 2 ($179) and Pixel Buds 2a ($109) may help clarify which tier makes sense for your budget. The “Pro” branding typically signals the flagship option in a lineup, while “a” models are generally positioned as the more accessible alternative. If your goal is simply to get into the Pixel Buds ecosystem at a lower price, the 2a discount may be enough; if you want to buy the higher-end model during a sale window, the $50 reduction on Pixel Buds Pro 2 is the larger markdown.
Bundle deal: Fitbit Charge 6 + Pixel Buds 2a for $199.95
One of the more eye-catching promotions is a bundle that pairs the Charge 6 with Pixel Buds 2a for $199.95. To get the bundle price, you need to add both items to your cart.
It’s worth noting that the report flags new Fitbit hardware is coming in 2026, which may matter if you’re debating whether to buy a tracker now or wait for the next generation. In general shopping terms, bundles can be a smart way to reduce total spend if you were already planning to purchase both categories (fitness tracker plus earbuds), but timing becomes part of the value equation when new devices are expected within the same year.
Google TV Streamer: $25 off through January 4
Beyond wearables and audio, Google is also discounting the Google TV Streamer by $25, dropping it to $74.99 until January 4. The same deal is also available at Amazon.
If you’re shopping for a streaming device, this earlier end date matters: the Google TV Streamer discount closes sooner than the watch deals, so it may require faster decision-making if it’s on your list.
How to decide which New Year’s deal is most worth it
Because several of these offers overlap across retailers and product categories, it helps to narrow down your purchase by use case:
- If you want the best LTE Pixel Watch 4 price: Amazon’s current $100 discount on cellular models results in lower listed prices than Google Store for those configurations.
- If you want a Google Store smartwatch deal before it expires: Pixel Watch promotions run until January 10, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
- If you want earbuds at a reduced price: Pixel Buds Pro 2 are $50 off to $179, while Pixel Buds 2a are $20 off to $109.
- If you want a tracker + earbuds combo: The Charge 6 and Pixel Buds 2a bundle is $199.95 when both are added to cart.
- If you want the streaming deal: Google TV Streamer is $74.99, but only until January 4.
Conclusion
Google’s New Year’s 2026 deals bring back straightforward savings on Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Watch 3, Pixel Buds, and Google TV Streamer, with clear deadlines depending on the product category. If LTE is your priority, the current pricing at Amazon may be more compelling, while Google Store still offers broad discounts across its own lineup for a limited time.
