Recently we talked about the cost of manufacturing Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, now analysts from CounterPoint Research calculated how much money Google spends on one Pixel Watch smartwatch.

According to their data, it costs about $123 to make one Pixel Watch. We are talking about the LTE version of the watch, which is estimated at $399. More than a quarter of this amount is spent on the chipset and memory. Let me remind you that the gadget uses an Exynos 9110 chip from Samsung, a co-processor MIMXRT595S from NXP, 2 GB of RAM and a 32 GB storage device from Kingston.

The display is supplied by BoE, the protective glass is by Corning. Together, these elements account for 17.2% of the total amount. Casing, water protection, and thermal treatment are in third place in terms of expenses (14.7%).
