If you wanted a larger variety of cheap Pixel Watch bands to choose from, Google is answering the call by bringing more of its official bands to Amazon. This is an unprecedented discovery (spotted by 9To5Google) for Amazon shoppers because until now, you could really only get most of Google’s bands through Google itself. At least if you wanted to buy from Google directly. However, Amazon now sells a wider selection of Google’s watch bands, and all of the options that have recently landed are the more affordable options.
That being said, there’s never really been much of a shortage of Pixel Watch bands. If you went to Amazon last month, you’d find a pretty wide selection of bands from third-party brands and sellers. These included options from more recognizable brands like Spigen and Caseology. There were also plenty of options from small brands that may be more questionable in terms of quality. The thing is, it’s hard to argue with Amazon’s quick turnaround time in terms of delivery. Which no doubt leads many to choose what’s available instead of waiting for Google Store purchases to arrive.
Now, you don’t have to make that decision. You can get official Pixel Watch bands from Google through Amazon. Not to mention, they’re seemingly less expensive than they are through Google.
There are four cheap Pixel Watch bands to choose from
With regard to the new bands that have popped up, there are four different models. This includes the Active Band, the Sport Band, the Woven Band, and the Crafted Leather Band. You will also find these in a variety of colors. Even the new Bay color is available if you want your band to match your Android-powered Pixel 8 Pro.
For the Active Band, you can pick it up in Bay, Porcelain, Hazel, and Black. The Sport Band has the most options with Black, Hazel, Porcelain, Moondust, and Coral. Then both the Woven and Crafted Leather options have two available colors each. There’s Bay and Sage for the Woven Band and Moondust and Obsidian for the Crafted Leather Band. These will run you from $40 to around $73.90 depending on which one you pick. Again though, the prices are cheaper than Google. The Crafted Leather Band, for example, is $80 directly from Google. On Amazon, it’s $73.90.
Deliveries should be much faster
If you’d prefer to stick with Google directly, that’s certainly your choice. Keep in mind though that delivery times are likely to be further out. In checking on the Active Band and Crafted Leather Band, both wouldn’t arrive until at least May 11. With the latest arrival date being May 13. Amazon however would have the Active Band delivered by May 5 if you pick the Black or Hazel colors, and by May 7 for Porcelain and Bay. It’s worth noting that delivery times may be different for you based on where you live and how far you live from an Amazon distribution center.
Chances are though, that it’ll still be faster than Google in most if not all cases. If you’re in need of a new Pixel Watch band and want it to show up quickly, Amazon has you covered.
