Early price cuts on connected watches ahead of the official Black Friday sales window brought significant discounts across multiple brands, with Frandroid reporting reductions led by a 200-euro drop on the Google Pixel Watch 4 at Boulanger.
The 45mm Bluetooth version of the Google Pixel Watch 4 fell from 449 euros to 249 euros at Boulanger, representing a 45 percent discount during the early sales period. PhonAndroid noted that this specific model features an AMOLED LTPO display with a peak brightness reaching 3,000 nits, alongside a variable refresh rate of 1 to 60 Hz. Les Numériques confirmed the pricing across major French retailers, listing the 45mm silver and porcelain configuration at 249 euros at both Boulanger and Fnac. Google equipped this larger format with a dual-frequency GPS and an improved battery life that reaches up to 40 hours with the always-on display active, or up to 30 hours on the 41mm variant. Charging from empty to 50 percent takes roughly 15 minutes.
