Saw this deal that scores you a free Google Pixel Watch valued at $649 if you get on a Pixel 7 Pro Telstra plan.

Personally I think Telstra's plans are too expensive. If you want to avoid getting on a plan but want the free watch, you can buy the phone outright, but you need to have a telstra service in order to claim the watch.

So if you couple the telstra 30$ sim for 15$ deal that's on ozbargain already, you can get that telstra service to be eligible to buy the Pixel 7 Pro and claim the Google Pixel Watch.

    Almost like the Pixel Watch is underwhelming, selling poorly and they've got to give it away now.

    • ce5himm on 17/03/2023 - 20:24

      So the watch is not good?

      • hotphil on 17/03/2023 - 20:33

        Off the top of my head:
        Poor battery life, based on several years-old chipset, proprietary straps, huge bezels, design is love-it/hate-it, runs Wear OS

            @ce5himm: I've had almost every Apple watch from the OG to S7. Switched to android and got a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Switched to Pixel and got a Pixel Watch.

            Based on my experience I love the Pixel Watch. Battery may be a little worse than GW4 but it charges soooo much faster and I have no complaints about the battery life.

        I got the pixel watch when I bought a P7p in December last year. The watch is very useful and has become a nice addition to my daily tech. Lots of faces, OLED screen and the battery EASILY lasts the whole day. I don't think it's worth anywhere near $600 however and getting it as a promo is a very good bonus.

        • Draco on 17/03/2023 - 21:49

          Battery not great compared to galaxy watch 4 or 5 or 5 pro in my opinion

            @Draco: Yes because both of those watches have larger batteries.

            @Draco: Personally, at least for the use I do , I don't feel any need of having a longer lasting battery as I get at bedtime with 30-40% battery left ..

        • hotphil on 20/03/2023 - 09:21

          One whole day! Wow.

      • liongalahad on 17/03/2023 - 22:33
        +5

        I own the pixel watch (non LTE) and absolutely love it. Battery life is ok for my use. Never got any issue I just charge it 1 hour before going to bed and half hour in the morning when I wake up. Doing so I usually still have 40% left before putting it to charge at night, with normal everyday use. If I'd skipped the morning charge, I'd get at night with 25-30% left and charge it only once a day.

        I owned other WearOs watches before and this one is the first one I'm truly happy about. It just works so smoothly and goes really well if you also have a pixel phone (as I do).

        Best $300 I've spent this year (bought it on gumtree, in perfect conditions).
        Having said this, I agree that the full $650 price is a bit too high and personally I would not spend that amount on it ( or on any smartwatch)

      The Samsung watches are better in almost every aspect than the pixel watch, and that's not Samsung's credit

      • Nillionaire on 22/03/2023 - 13:33

        Every aspect except aesthetic

    • misterpotatomato on 17/03/2023 - 23:04

      It's not that. They are outselling Samsung watches at the moment, only second to Apple.

      https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/pixel-watch-sales-powe…

      Taste is subjective but I think the pixel watch design and interface is much better than Samsung's. A design Google can build on, instead of Samsung which can't make up it's mind whether to keep the rotating bezel or not (watch 4 had it, watch 5 didn't, watch 6 looks like it might)

      • dealsucker on 17/03/2023 - 23:11

        Second to apple because they also count fitbits

      • luminair on 19/03/2023 - 15:37

        I think give away also count as sales, so I'd say at least 20% of that figure needs to be deducted.

    Why is this a deal since the free watch is a promo that is not exclusive for anyone who purchases this from Telstra. It's a google promo.

    • CodeXD on 17/03/2023 - 22:18

      It is still a deal.

      Or are you asking why this deal is associated with Telstra?

      • dlakers3peat on 17/03/2023 - 23:15

        Yeah why is it associated with telstra when you get the same phone from officeworks for instance.

        • CodeXD on 17/03/2023 - 23:23

          OP saw the deal on telstra page, so they posted the link to the deal.

          You can create a new post if you want with link to google page listing the free watch promo.

    • Nillionaire on 23/03/2023 - 16:09

      ? When submitting the claim, you can't change your place of purchase from Telstra.com.au so how can you claim if you purchase from somewhere else?

          2nd Gen Nexus 7 was orders of magnitude better.

          Owned both, still own both. Although I sat on (read: folded completely in half) one of my 2nd gen and immediately repurchased the same model and it is still going strong. I am still looking for a small form factor tablet to replace it.

            @henno: Maybe it was the nexus 10" tablet I was thinking of I thought it was the first. It was really great and if the battery didn't die on mine after many years I would still be using it probably

    Considering it's not super hard to find/wait for a deal on the p7p. I paid $1137 for the 256gb in December Last year not $1499 that Telstra are asking. Plus you have to do some joining thing, just to get the first gen pixel watch. Idk seems pretty average to me. I guess if you were hell bent on getting both rn it's an ok deal.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/03/2023 - 08:34

      Also paid $1,137 for the 256GB P7P just before Xmas. Can't see the bargain here

  • Arkhxm on 17/03/2023 - 23:42

    Anyone know if you cab get Telstra to price match Optus and still get the watch?

  • coffeeinmyveins on 17/03/2023 - 23:53

    Hardly a deal if the watch is shite and the Pixel 7 Pro was $999 a few months ago anyway..

  • slankets on 18/03/2023 - 03:09

    Clearing out inventory for Pixel Watch 2 (and Pixel 8 Pro?) - good deal if you're in need of it. Otherwise wait for the upgraded models in Oct-Nov.

    • hotphil on 20/03/2023 - 09:25

      The complete lack of any rumour or leak for a second Pixel Watch doesn't look good if you're wanting one. Neither does having to dump unsold inventory. Presumably it's the latest on Google's kill list.

  • ankor on 18/03/2023 - 08:20

    Although you miss out, it seems best to wait until a version 2 or 3 of a new tech release comes out. The pixel watch v1 just seems very overwhelming. I'm not going to be a test dummy for google. Ive already fallen for them once with the pixel 6 pro, which imo is a good phone that should have been great.

  • pegasusx on 18/03/2023 - 08:22

    I have had the watch LTE version for 3 months since launch with the P7pro. The watch has it's positives and negatives.

    Great UI and integration with the P series. I mainly use it for health monitoring and SMS. Heart rate monitor is very accurate. I have a Garmin HRM and it's on par.

    Battery life is poor*. If I trek out to the areas with poor reception with Telstra, the battery drains quickly. I thought it was a problem with the watch and I had replaced it via Google. (Kudos to them for sending one out before returning my original one). With full charge initially (5am). And say a 3-4 hour exercise / bike session. And with full health tracking on and medium apps use. Battery is 5% by 9pm.

    I returned it after not being happy with it. I really look forward to gen 2 addressing these issues. Esp the battery life.

    For the rrp 649 it's not worth it. For $300 it's a. Expensive HRM.

  • SamGB996 on 30/03/2023 - 12:55

    Trying to get on this deal… I bought the $2 prepaid sim and have activated this (though not recharged) and it shows as a service in my account. But if I try to go through to checkout and buy the phone, I eventually get a message saying this can only be bought if I have an active telstra service. Live chat advised their documentation says this must be post-paid or Internet service.

    Any ideas? Comments above seem to say only a prepaid service is needed.

    • eamon on 06/04/2023 - 17:23

      No Telstra service required. I just bought the phone outright from a Telstra store this afternoon and have had my claim for the watch approved just now. The guy in store had to create a MyTelstra Id for me, but I didn't have to port my current mobile service over or buy any other telstra services.

  • denlife on 05/04/2023 - 16:54

    Has anyone received their watch yet? Or any update on the tracking website?
