Google Pixel Watch 2 is now $300, HP 14-inch Chromebook hits $159, DJI drones, more

A discount down to $300 lands on the Google Pixel Watch 2 at its second-best price yet. It comes joined by the original model at $200 for those who don’t need the recycled build and larger battery, as well as this 14-inch HP Chromebook for just $159. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Google Pixel Watch 2 lands at second-best price of $300

Amazon is now offering the second-best price on Google Pixel Watch 2. The company’s latest wearable drops down to $300 for the GPS model from its usual $350 price tag. This is $50 off, the best price in months, and comes within $14 of the all-time low set just once before in a 1-day sale back in December. Keep reading for all of the details, and we also walked away with a favorable opinion in our hands-on review, too.

The new Pixel Watch 2 debuts as Google’s second-generation fitness tracking experience. While the same design remains as before, there’s now an all-new heart rate sensor on the inside that comes powered by Fitbit’s updated AI for better insight into your overall health. Longer battery life is another perk, upping wear time to 24 hours with its always-on display.

Google powers the whole package with the new Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip and its 4nm prowess, which we noted was a significant upgrade over the original model. This discounted model comes with one of Google’s standard silicone bands, too. There’s a full array of colors available for both the straps and the exterior casing. 

If you can live without the 100% recycled build, larger battery, and Qualcomm chip on the newer model, the original Google Pixel Watch is still an unmatched value now that it’s also on sale. Amazon now has it marked down to $200 from that original $350 price tag – though we have been tracking it closer to $250 as of late. It’s matching the all-time low and is one of the first times it has dropped this low.

Score a 14-inch HP Chromebook for just $159

Best Buy is offering a 14-inch HP Chromebook for just $159. It only has 4GB of memory and 64GB of onboard storage, but instead of paying the usual $299 going rate that we’ve been tracking over the past few months, you can take $140 off. That brings it down to a new all-time low while beating our previous mention from over Black Friday by an extra $40.

Perfect for a compact everyday carry upgrade to complement your main desktop, or just as a student’s first machine, it’s hard to argue with a $159 Chromebook. This HP model has a 14-inch HD screen and comes powered by an Intel Celeron chip. There’s 64GB of onboard storage and if that isn’t enough, there’s also a microSD card slot.

Dock your Android smartphone in Razer’s Kishi V2 controller grip

Amazon is now offering the Razer Kishi V2 USB-C Mobile Gaming Controller for $82. This drops the iPhone 15 and Android gamepad down from its usual $100 price tag in order to mark the best price cut in months. We did last see it on sale for $5 less in December last year, and now it’s $18 off as the fourth-best price to date.

Whether you’re looking to step up the Apple Arcade experience or take advantage of more ergonomic gameplay for diving into Genshin Impact, Among Us, and Call of Duty Mobile, Razer’s Kishi V2 controller grip is a must. Relying on a USB-C connection that delivers passthrough charging and an adjustable design, these are compatible with a wide variety of handsets including the latest from Apple like iPhone 15, whether you’re rocking the 15 Pro Max or one of the smaller handsets. It also supports just about all of the popular Android smartphones.

Skullcandy Dime 3 are the most affordable earbuds we’d recommend

Amazon is now offering the Skullcandy Dime 3 True Wireless Earbuds for $26. Today’s deal applies to two different styles and drops each from the usual $30 price tag. This is only the second discount to date and is also the second-best offer so far at within $1 of the all-time low. We further break down what’s new below the fold or over in our hands-on review.

The new Skullcandy Dime 3 are the company’s affordable pair of earbuds. They’re the third-generation pair, and have a lot to show for being the latest iteration of the lineup thanks to some improvements like an increased 20 hours of playback, Tile finding tech for keeping tabs on location if they get lost, as well as multipoint Bluetooth pairing.

DJI’s Mini 3 Pro folding drone shoots vertical video at $600

Amazon now offers the DJI Mini 3 Pro folding quadcopter for $600. This is the first drop we’ve seen from the usual $759 price tag and marking a new all-time low at $159 off. We’ve only ever seen bundles on sale in the past, and now anyone who just wants to score the drone with its companion remote can score the best discount ever. You can also step up to the Mini 3 Pro with one of the DJI RC screen remotes at $729.99 over at Best Buy, down from $910 and matching the all-time low. Take a look at the full specs in our coverage at DroneDJ.

This time around with the DJI Mini 3 Pro, the entire drone weighs in under 249 grams while still delivering 34-minute flight times and a robust set of obstacle avoidance tech. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is already a notable solution for aerial photography thanks to the ability to record 4K HDR videos, but there’s also a rotating gimbal that makes this the first DJI drone to be able to capture vertical video for sharing to your smartphone. Alongside the drone, you’re also getting the DJI RC controller with a built-in display.
