Should I pre-order or wait? (self.googlepixel)

Hey everyone, I've been excited for the pixel 8 lineup for quite a while and followed every leak that came through. And now that pre-orders come bundled with a watch, I'm really tempted to place one. But here in the UK, the prices feel especially crushing. So my question is, is it worth getting this bundle now or wait for a sale later.

P.S. I'm using a Rog phone now which has long been orphaned by Asus. I was hoping to switch to a supported device soon.

I bought the 7a on launch date and got the Pixel Buds with it (the bundle was at €509), and it turned out that the price went down later but then the bundle deal expired and so far, if we assign the Buds a value of €90 (as seen on Amazon), I still got a good deal overall even counting the small discount Pixel 7a got during the 25th anniversary. So I guess it might be the same with the 8 series?

Probably someone who bought the P6P or P7P could chime in with his/her experience?

Yeah, I'm thinking on the same line as well.
