How to choose the right Apple Watch deal at Target

The first thing you need to do is pick your watch. Luckily, we have an extensive guide comparing the Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch 9. To boil down something complex, the Apple Watch 9 is the technically better watch but if you aren’t a power user, you might prefer the SE 2, which is cheaper. The Apple Watch 9 has 2,000 nits of brightness to the SE 2’s 1,000, for example, making it easier to see in sunlight. It also has a low power mode that can essentially double its battery life. You’ll also get a whole host of extra sensors on the Apple Watch 9 for more robust health monitoring, though nothing essential is “missing” from the SE 2. Be sure to check out our Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch SE 2 reviews for a view of our lived experiences with the devices.

Next, you’ll need to make some purchasing decisions. Here’s where things get a bit tricky, as stock is limited. At the time of this writing, for example, when you initially click on the SE 2 you’ll see that the “GPS | Cellular” option is grayed out and listed as out of stock. This is misleading and is actually only the case when combined with the other settings. For example, if you bump the size up to 44mm, you’ll see that the cellular option is available and the plain GPS version is the one grayed out. In other words, if you find something you like, don’t give up immediately when an option appears out of stock.

To shop for your Apple Watch at Target, tap the button below. You’ll be able to pick from an Apple Watch SE 2 for $50 off or an Apple Watch 9 for $130 off. That makes the watches as low as $200 and $270, respectively, but they can still go up after you make configuration changes. Once you’re done, be sure to check out other Labor Day deals so you can find other good deals where this came from.

The wearable on your wrist can predict blood pressure crisis events days in advance
A hypertensive crisis can lead to acute organ damage, and the abrupt spikes in blood pressure are also linked to stroke, kidney damage, fluid backup in the lungs, and heart attack. Research says wearable devices can provide a warning 3 days in advance.

In the domain of wearable devices, we have reached a stage where they are available in a variety of form factors. You can go with a smartwatch, something a little more subtle like a smart band without a screen, or even a smart ring. And as the form factors have continued to evolve, so have the capabilities and the sensing hardware. What started with basic light-based heart rate tracking has now reached a stage where smartwatches are capable of tracking multiple metrics, such as taking electrocardiogram readings, tracking sleep, looking for signs of sleep apnea, or even detecting spikes in blood pressure levels.

Now, fresh research courtesy of the American Heart Association claims that these mass-market wearable devices can help predict episodes of dangerously high blood pressure, or hypertensive crisis, up to three days in advance. The research was conducted over a period of 12 months and involved more than 4,000 participants living with stage 2 high blood pressure.

Wear OS is borrowing your phone’s status bar so you never lose track of time
Your smartwatch is finally getting the one thing it was weirdly missing.
The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

If you have ever opened an app on your Wear OS smartwatch and had no idea what time it was, Google is working on a fix. In October, the company launched a Wear OS canary emulator inside Android Studio. It lets developers try out new features and design tweaks well before Google ships them to anyone’s wrist.

The biggest addition in this build is a status bar that never leaves. It lives at the top edge of your round watch face, floats above whatever app you have open, and keeps the clock and your watch’s status icons in view.

Samsung AI Glasses

Samsung's first AI-powered smart glasses are finally getting closer to store shelves. According to a new report from South Korea's ChosunBiz, the company is planning to launch its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December, and if you're waiting to get your hands on them outside the US or South Korea, you might be disappointed.

For those catching up, we reported earlier in October that Samsung was planning a November launch. However, the latest report suggests the release has been pushed back by a few weeks. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed the new date, and there's still no word on how much the glasses will cost.
