Forget the Pixel Watch 4, Google should make a Pixel Watch A-series

I've made the case for a Pixel smart ring before, but my other big ask for Google wearables in 2025 is a Pixel Watch Series-A, not the Pixel Watch 4.

Google has proven it can make a great smartwatch, the Pixel Watch is my favorite on the market every year, but it's time to expand the family to include a more budget-friendly model.

Not everyone can afford a flagship smartwatch and while purchasing a previous generation model can be a good value option, it's still not enough for many customers. The Pixel Watch 2 costs £239 at the time of writing.

I'm talking under £200/$200 in order to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE and other similarly priced smartwatches. Even Apple offers a wallet-friendly option in the Apple Watch SE 2.

Imagine a cheaper Pixel Watch 3 with an equally attractive design and features. Of course, Google will have to compromise on materials and specifications, but it's more than doable.

Google has made many great A-series devices over the years, some of the best mid-range phones you can buy, including the Pixel 8a and Pixel Buds, which also got the A treatment.

So why not the Pixel Watch? That’s a recipe for success if you ask me.
