Combo Deal: Get a Moto 360 and Moto G for Just $299
Motorola is currently hosting a 4-hour combo sale that will land you a Moto G (2nd gen) and a Moto 360 for just $299. That’s $129 off, in case you were wondering.
The Moto G is the current version, which unfortunately, is a 3G-only device. Still, it’s a great value for someone in need of a smartphone who doesn’t have a big budget or reason to buy a flagship. The Moto 360 is well, the Moto 360. It’s the best Android Wear watch you can buy for now.
The deal is only live until 3PM Central, which is 4PM Eastern or 1PM Pacific.

Deal: Grab a Verizon Moto G (1st Gen) From eBay for $40
For what is likely a limited time, Best Buy is selling the Moto G (1st Gen) for Verizon prepaid customers through its website and eBay, priced at just $40. This is the model from 2013, which features no LTE connectivity, but does have a Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, basic Android with minimal Motorola UI tweaks on top, 5MP rear-facing shooter, and a 4.5″ HD display.

Deal: Verizon Moto G is Just $25 at Best Buy for 4 Hours
Need a decent back-up phone? Best Buy is currently hosting a 4-hour sale on the Verizon Moto G that will get the phone in your hands for just $25. Sure, it’s the 1st gen model and doesn’t have LTE, but you never know when you might need a temporary replacement device. Or maybe your 12-year old needs his first phone? Or maybe you just like owning random prepaid phones? I don’t know, but whatever the reason, now is your chance to grab one for less than an IMAX Avengers ticket.
Note: Again, this phone doesn’t have LTE even if Best Buy’s listing claims that it does. Trust me, it doesn’t.
The deal ends at 3PM Central.
