One of the best ways to improve your experience with any of the best tablets is to pair it with a stylus pen. And that is especially true if you have one of the best tablets for drawing, like an Apple iPad. Unfortunately, Apple’s stylus, the Apple Pencil line, is usually somewhat expensive. It’s opened the market wide for Apple Pencil alternatives, for sure. But right now you can get one of the most advanced Apple Pencils, the Apple Pencil Pro, at a reduced price of just $99. That’s $30 down from the usual $129, available at both Amazon and Walmart. Tap the button below to pick up the pencil or keep reading to see if it is the one for you.

Why you should buy the Apple Pencil Pro

The Apple Pencil Pro is pretty great, but first we need to see if it can work with your iPad. From the Amazon store page hosted by Apple, we can see that the Apple Pencil Pro works with the “iPad Pro 13-inch (M4), iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3), iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and M3), iPad Air 13-inch (M2), iPad mini (A17 Pro), iPad Pro 11-inch (M4), iPad Air 11-inch (M2)” models.

But, as we’ve said before, even in the current year, choosing the right Apple Pencil is not a trivial matter as all four makes of the Apple stylus are still in circulation. However, there’s a good case for the Apple Pencil Pro at this price. Using simple hand gestures you can switch brushes and change tools, saving you time and efforts when doing a lot of back and forth work between different styles when doing art. There’s even expert tilt and pressure sensing, giving you the feel of really writing on paper. The Apple Pencil Pro snaps rather strongly to the iPad via a magnet, which also charges it wirelessly, in a sort of “Qi” charging situation.

Getting the Apple Pencil Pro isn’t always a no-brainer, but at $99 it is the perfect time to get one. Again, that’s a $30 drop from the usual $129 price. You can get this deal at Amazon or Walmart, so be sure to tap the appropriate button below and get in on this deal while it is still around.

The Garmin Instinct 2 is over 30% off and Walmart and Amazon have the best price
A render of a Garmin Instinct 2 smartwatch.

You don't have to pay the big prices the Apple Watch Series 10 commands to get a good smartwatch these days. That's because smartwatch deals are bringing excellent discounts to slightly older models. Take the Garmin Instinct 2 as a good example. The "graphite" black version is available at both Amazon and Walmart for around $185. That's a savings of $115 off of the usual $300. Now, if you want to buy from Amazon due to an Amazon Prime membership, you'll have to hurry because (at the time of this writing) there are only 19 in stock. Walmart's not saying how many they have left, but you can guess this items is selling quickly either way. Tap the appropriate button below to see the watch or keep reading to see what the watch has to offer you.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct 2
The first thing to know about the Garmin Instinct 2 is that it is built to be lived in. It's got shock resistance, is able to go as far as 100 meters under the water, has a tough polymer case, and the fairly standard scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass for its cover. But that's just its body. The Garmin Instinct 2 will also conform to your adventures, with a fully 3D compass that includes an altimeter and GPS, and includes special hunting and fishing modes — like many Garmin smartwatches, the Instinct 2 has a more outdoorsy feel than standard. However, when you're sleeping, the Garmin Instinct 2 will track your sleep health for you and during the day you'll get fitness info in a system not unlike that of the best smartwatches. The battery life of the Garmin Instinct 2 allows for your adventures to last for up to 28 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.

A Garmin smartwatch deal worth buying: Save $250 on a Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar

Right now there are a few deals going on around the Garmin Fenix 7 line, but we've found one that's the best to buy today, combining a good price with great features. And that's on the 47mm Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar. It has the most features and a price worth looking at twice after the discounts are applied (it's just $650 from $900 after the $250 discount).

However, we fear there may be some confusion over the word "Sapphire" in the watch's name — that's an indicator of a feature and not a color! You're totally forgiven if you were expecting a somewhat blueish gemstone coloration, but instead we're seeing a black version and a gray/orange that invokes memories of Valve's GLaDOS. Tap the appropriate button below to see the color you want or read on to see why this is one of the best smartwatch deals we're seeing at the moment.
