Google’s official Pixel Watch bands are as low as $5 right now

Google’s Fitbit Air might be sweeping the fitness landscape right now — I, for one, think it’s an excellent tracker at its core — but for plenty of Android users, you just can’t swap sway from a real smartwatch. If you’ve been looking to refresh your existing Pixel Watch, you can pick up one of Google’s official bands for as low as $10 right now, and you won’t even have to give up your timepiece to do it.

I didn’t need a Fitbit Air, but it’s been a great Pixel Watch companion

I’ve had a Pixel Watch of some sort on my wrist nearly every day for the past few years, largely because I’ve come to really value the tracking I get out of what is now Google Health. But, now, there’s another option in the Fitbit Air, a screen-less tracker that, for me, has come to serve as a brilliant little companion to my Pixel Watch.

Review: I want to love Belkin’s 3-in-1 Pixel Watch charging dock, but Google ruined it [Gallery]

Four generations in, perhaps the most annoying thing about Google’s Pixel Watch lineup is the lack of accessories and, in particular, charging stations. The appeal of a multi-device charging station that tops off your phone, earbuds, and smartwatch is obvious, but one that Pixel Watch owners are sadly left out of. Belkin is now showcasing what is easily the best Pixel Watch-compatible charging station I’ve seen, but Google’s seeming inability to stick with a decision basically ruins it.

This $8 Pixel Watch band feels just as good as Google’s, and comes in more colors too [Gallery]

Bands have been by far the biggest headache of owning a Pixel Watch, at least for me. Google’s first-party collection is surprisingly expansive, but also pricey. In the third-party space, options are often limited or of low quality, but I recently picked up a super cheap Pixel Watch band that feels just as good as Google’s “Active Sport” band, but at a fraction of the price.
