The headline "Save $192" points to one specific deal: Best Buy sold the 45mm LTE Matte Black Pixel Watch 4 as an open-box "excellent" unit for $307.99, which is $192 below its $500 list price, as 9to5Toys reported. Separately, Google's Pixel Flex 67W USB-C charger dropped to $44.99 on Amazon that same day — but this is a phone-and-laptop wall charger, not a watch charger, so treat it as a bonus, not a bundle. The Pixel Watch 4 is Google's flagship smartwatch, launched in 2025. Both discounts are real, but each carries a catch worth understanding before you buy.

What the "$192 off" deal actually is
The $192 discount applies to one configuration: the 45mm LTE Matte Black model, sold open-box rather than new. Open-box means the item was returned or displayed, so the box may be unsealed even though the unit is graded "excellent." Best Buy priced it at $307.99 against the $500 sticker, per 9to5Toys. For reference, the Pixel Watch 4 launched at four price points: $349 (41mm WiFi), $399 (45mm WiFi), $449 (41mm LTE), and $499 (45mm LTE), according to Android Authority.
So the $192 figure only works when measured against the most expensive version. Prices fell because a successor is close. TechTimes reports Google's Made by Google event, where a Pixel Watch 5 is expected, is set for August 12, 2026 — and this open-box price hit a record low ahead of it.
Is there a cheaper path than the open-box deal?
Yes, and it may beat the headline deal for many shoppers. New — not open-box — 41mm units were spotted at $180 to $290 through Google Store coupons and credits, as tracked on Slickdeals. A new watch under $290 undercuts a $308 open-box unit, both in price and in peace of mind.
The trade-off is size and connectivity. The cheaper deals cover the 41mm model, often WiFi-only, while the $192 deal is the larger 45mm with LTE (cellular). If you want the bigger screen, longer battery, and standalone calling, the open-box route still has a place. Decide by asking what you actually need:.
- Want cellular on your wrist without a phone nearby? The 45mm LTE is worth the higher price.
- Fine tethering to your phone? A new 41mm WiFi unit at $180–$290 is the better value.
- Uneasy about an unsealed box? Buy new, even if the sticker is slightly higher.
The charger deal, and why it's not a watch accessory
The charger in the headline is Google's Pixel Flex Dual-Port 67W USB-C wall adapter, which fell to $44.99 on Amazon — 25% off its $60 price — on july 15, per 9to5Toys. That is a fast charger for phones and laptops, not for the watch.
The Watch 4 ships with its own Quick Charge Dock, which Google says reaches 50% in about 15 minutes, as Droid Life notes. You do not need the 67W charger to power the watch. Buying both is a convenience if you also own a Pixel phone — not a requirement.
The charger price already moved
Watch the framing here. The "25% off" pitch was outdated within days.
By July 24, the same 67W charger dropped to roughly $32.99 — about 45% off — according to a later 9to5Toys post. The lesson for a frugal buyer: a "rare deal" label is a snapshot, not a floor. Before you check out, confirm the live price and compare it against the most recent tracker, since accessory discounts on Google gear shift week to week.
What you're getting for the money
Specs help you judge whether even a discounted Watch 4 fits your budget. It runs a Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip, reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and delivers about 40 hours of battery on the 45mm model with always-on display, per GSMArena.
That battery figure matters most if you eye the open-box 45mm LTE deal, since cellular use drains faster. A day-and-a-half of runtime is competitive, but plan to charge nightly if you stream, track workouts, or leave the always-on screen enabled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the $192 discount apply to every Pixel Watch 4?
No. It applies only to the 45mm LTE Matte Black open-box unit at $307.99, measured against the $500 list price.
Do I need the 67W Flex charger for my Pixel Watch 4?
No. The watch includes its own Quick Charge Dock. The 67W charger is a wall adapter for phones and laptops.
Should I wait for the Pixel Watch 5?
If you want the latest model, the Made by Google event is set for August 12, 2026. Waiting may also push Watch 4 prices lower.
