It’s been a couple of weeks since the Samsung Galaxy deals of Prime Day ended, but don’t tell that to Amazon, which is still selling the 40mm Bluetooth version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for only $200. That’s how much it was going for during the shopping event, so we’re not sure if this $100 discount on the wearable device’s original price of $300 is a generous offer or simply a mistake. Either way, you probably have limited time to take advantage of this bargain, so if you’re interested, complete your purchase for the smartwatch right now.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6

The arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 doesn’t make the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 obsolete — in fact, it even makes the previous-generation version a better purchase if you can get it with a discount. Our Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 versus Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 comparison reveals that outside of the upgraded processor and a few new health features, there’s no huge reason to go for the latest version of the smartwatch.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 features a sleek design and slim bezels surrounding its 1.3-inch circular display with AMOLED technology. It’s powered by Google Wear OS 4 with Samsung’s One UI 5 for access to a wide range of apps with various purposes, in addition to a comprehensive suite of fitness tracking features. The smartwatch’s BioActive sensor will monitor your heart rate and all of the usual health statistics, and it can also perform an ECG, check your blood pressure, track stress levels, and many more. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 works perfectly with other Samsung Galaxy devices, so it’s an even more excellent smartwatch if you’ve heavily invested in this ecosystem.

If you’re on the hunt for smartwatch deals, we highly recommend taking advantage of Amazon’s offer for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. From the 40mm Bluetooth model’s sticker price of $300, a $100 discount brings its down to just $200, which is the wearable device’s sale price during Prime Day. There’s no telling how much time is remaining before the bargain ends, so if you want to get the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 on your wrist for much cheaper than usual, you should proceed with the transaction as soon as you can.

Bloomberg reports that preorders open July 16, with shipping scheduled to begin in October. The ring can collect readings during the day and overnight, then display the results through an iOS or Android app.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The EU has a habit of pushing tech companies to adopt meaningful changes in their product. It's the reason your iPhone finally has a USB-C port, and it's also why companies now have to offer spare parts and repair support for electronics for several years after launch. So naturally, many of us assumed wearables were next in line for mandatory swappable batteries. Turns out, the EU just went the other way.

So what did the EU announce?
