It’s May today. Well, today and the next 30 days, too. But we’re saying “Hello May” with code HELLOMAY at OnePlus to get great deals. For example, you can get the OnePlus Watch 2 — it’s a smartwatch with a special hybrid mode that you’ll need to keep reading to learn about — that you would normally have to pay $300 for. However, by just entering HELLOMAY upon checkout you’ll get it for $50 less, or $250. Tap the button to evaluate the watch yourself or keep reading to see what we liked about this watch and why this is considered one of the best smartwatch deals around today.

Why you should buy the OnePlus Watch 2

When we made our OnePlus Watch 2 review, we reviewed it as a smartwatch with an “excellent battery life and a lovely design.” The casing simply looks nice and the textured band is admittedly a step up from the competition and even the likes of what you’ll see on a standard nylon G-Shock band, as an example. And, of course, the screen — it has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with a crisp 466 x 466 display.

The watch works like many fitness trackers, with sleep stage measuring, Sp02 level checking (sorry Apple!), heart rate data, among others, without a subscription and without all of the pageantry of workout challenges and social engagement. You’ll control the watch with two buttons, one being a cosmetically rotating crown. The lack of being able to do something with the rotation initially bummed us out, but it’s the kind of thing that time (and a hot deal) really smooths out.

A unique feature of the OnePlus Watch 2 is its potential for an absurdly long battery life via a special ‘Power Saver’ mode which extends the watch’s 3 days of battery life to 12 days instead. Our review explains the mode perfectly: “When you enable Power Saver mode, you can access all of the watch’s health and fitness functions, the weather app, your alarms and timers, and notifications. It even looks just like normal Wear OS! However, features like the always-on display, Wear OS apps, and Google Assistant do not work.”

To get your OnePlus Watch 2 for just $250 and not the usual $300, all you need to do is tap the button below and enter the code HELLOMAY upon checkout. That code saves you $50 off of your watch, which is a pretty fantastic way to start the month. For alternative ways to track your health, be sure to check out these Fitbit deals.

Apple opens Siri AI to all developers, allowing more advanced third-party app controls
Developers can now teach Siri AI to handle multiple actions in a single request, bringing more advanced voice controls to iPhone apps.
Siri AI voice change

Apple's latest wave of beta software recently went live for developers, bringing several new features across Safari, iOS, and watchOS. Along with these changes, the company also announced something far more significant for third-party developers: it is finally letting them use Siri AI more deeply, opening up capabilities previously limited to a narrow set of supported actions. The company released a new developer preview that lets apps handle more complex requests, including booking restaurant reservations, checking deliveries, and placing orders. All by simply asking Siri.

Your iPhone’s StandBy mode is getting new clocks, Calendar, and Weather faces with iOS 27.3
A smarter bedside clock is coming in December.
StandBy mode on an iPhone with iOS 17.

StandBy on iPhone has always felt like an underwhelming feature to me. It does turn a charging iPhone into a glanceable display. However, until now, Apple has offered fairly limited customization options. Well, that seems to be changing. 

Apple’s first iOS 27.3 developer beta, released Tuesday, brings the new StandBy features. While they debuted on the iPhone Duo, they’re now available for other iPhones that support StandBy.

iOS 27.3 beta gets Fitness Gym Strength Plans

Apple's redesigned Health app has made a return in the first iOS 27.3 developer beta after an unexpected disappearance last month. First showcased in September, the Apple Intelligence-powered overhaul was briefly available for testing before Apple quietly pulled it from the iOS 27.2 beta in October. No explanation was offered.

But Apple's latest software update has another health and fitness addition that I find far more interesting. Apple Fitness+ is getting Gym Strength, a feature that could actually help people make better use of their time at the gym.
