TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The "Made by Google" event will kick off tonight at 6 pm ET on YouTube, with Google officially announcing its new products, including new Pixel phones and watches—but retailers, phone carriers, and the Google website itself are already offering preorder deals for the new products. With a Pixel 11 Pro preorder, you'll get $250 off the new Google Pixel Watch 5 (originally $499.99) or $200 in Google Store credit. This deal only applies if you buy the unlocked version and not directly from Google Fi, Verizon, or AT&T.
