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. Here are the best deals you can find so far.

Google is offering bundle and trade-in deals for the Pixel 11 and the Pixel Watch 5. 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. Google is also offering up to $600 back in trade-in credits.

Other models, like the Google Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, also have similar deals. If you just want one of the Pixel phones, there are trade-in deals if you get it with Google Fi, Verizon, or AT&T. There are also extra trade-in credits for the Pixel Watch 5 and two years of data for the Pixel Watch 5 LTE.

Preorder deals from Best Buy

Best Buy is offering the best gift card preorder deal. You can get up to $350 in Best Buy e-gift cards when you pre-order a new unlocked Pixel phone.

If you want to go for trade-ins, you can bring the cost of the Pixel 11 down to $99 with qualifying products, specifically if you trade in a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold for a Google Pixel 11 Pro 256GB. For the Pixel Watch 5, Best Buy is only offering trade-in deals.

What do you think so far?

Preorder deals from Amazon

Amazon is also offering gift card deals (matching those from Best Buy) and is the only retailer to offer discounts on bundles for the Pixel Watch 5. Here are the deals:
