Folks are already wondering when the next Prime Day is going to be announced, but why wait for that sale when you can already score some awesome Google Pixel deals at Best Buy? The retailer is dropping huge discounts on both Pixel phones and smartwatches today, with discounts of up to $250 available for a limited time. 

You can get some additional savings if you activate the device or process a trade-in through Best Buy, but the main focus is good old-fashioned discounts for those who prefer to buy their tech unlocked. Keep reading for a few of my favorite offers included in the sale, and again, don't wait if a particular device catches your eye: these are likely to be the best Pixel deals we see until Prime Day, and they won't last forever.
