Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, we can start refocusing on the deals and discounts that matter most to us (instead of every deal all at once). And if you’ve been shopping around for smartwatch deals, the following offer may be of interest to you: For a limited time, when you purchase the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro (with 51mm band) directly through Amazon or Garmin, you’ll only pay $750. At full price, this model sells for $1,000. The Garmin Fenix 8 is out already, but if you don’t mind having an older model, this deal saves you a nice chunk of change.

Why you should buy the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro

Whether you’re looking for a digital companion to track vitals on your daily jog or you’ve been looking for a way to get more exercise inspiration in general, the Fenix 7X Pro is a great way to jumpstart and maintain a healthier lifestyle. With its 1.4-inch sapphire solar-charged display and 51mm polymer case with a titanium bezel and rear cover, the 7X Pro looks fantastic, is tough as nails, and has a number of intuitive buttons and touchscreen controls.

The watch is designed to last up to 37 days on a full charge (when set to smartwatch mode), so you won’t have to worry about the Fenix 7X Pro losing precious battery when you need it most. We were also glad to learn the watch has a built-in flashlight with a red safety light feature and Strobe Mode, which lets you match light patterns to your running cadence. You’ll also be able to use the ECG app to measure the electric signals of your heartbeat to help you determine whether you have an irregular heart rhythm, along with a boatload of other health-tracking tech.

It’s hard to say how long this discount is going to last, though Cyber Week smartwatch deals like this one have gone pretty quickly in the past. That being said, today might be the best day to save on the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro. Save $250 when you order through the manufacturer, and be sure to check out our roundup of the best fitness deals for even more endurance-adjacent offers!

Smartbands or smartwatches immediately make you think of some wearable built for keeping track of your health and physical activities. But in Rome, they are being used to help the elderly. The new watches are being deployed to senior citizens to help them stay safe during the dangerous heatwave that has swept across Europe.

According to Reuters, the city is using electronic bracelets as part of a €400 million support scheme for older residents. The program, backed by EU post-COVID funding, currently covers about 700 people.

If there’s one thing that annoys me about using a smartwatch outdoors, it’s squinting at the screen under bright sunlight. Whether I’m checking directions on a walk or glancing at a notification while cycling, a dim display can quickly turn a premium smartwatch into a guessing game.

That’s why the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 leak immediately caught my attention. But after reading through it, I couldn’t shake one nagging thought: all these upgrades probably won’t come cheap.

There are already plenty of mental-health chatbots online, but they all run into the same problem. The user still has to reach out first. That is not always easy when someone is stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply unsure how to put their feelings into words.

Researchers at the University of Ottawa are working on a different kind of AI assistant. It is designed to read emotional cues in real time through signals from devices people already use, including smartwatches, smartphones, and earbuds.
