The Apple Watch Series 10, which was just rolled out last week, is already available with a discount from the Apple Watch deals of Amazon. The wearable device’s GPS, 46mm model was originally priced at $429, but it’s now on sale for $399. The $30 off may not look like much, but it’s a nice bonus, especially if you were already thinking about buying Apple’s latest smartwatch in the first place. We’re not sure how much time is remaining on this offer though, so if you want to enjoy a little bit of savings with our purchase, you better hurry.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

We gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review of the wearable device, which we described as “another strong entry in the Apple Watch family.” It offers impressive hardware, including a new speaker that will allow you to play music and podcasts on the smartwatch, and faster charging speeds to replenish its all-day battery life. The health and fitness features of the Apple Watch Series 10 is extremely comprehensive, with the new Vitals app providing an easy way of monitoring your body daily. Unfortunately blood oxygen tracking isn’t available in the US, and there’s no definite date on when it will return.

If you’re considering getting the previous-generation model as it’s cheaper, our Apple Watch Series 10 versus Apple Watch Series 9 comparison recommends buying the latest model. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a thinner body and a larger screen, with the wide-angle OLED display and high brightness making it very easy to see what’s on it. The depth gauge and water temperature sensors are cool additions if you’re a snorkeler, and performance is smoother with the S10 processor.

Are you sold on the Apple Watch Series 10? Then you may as well pocket the savings from this unexpected offer from Amazon, which has slashed the price of the smartwatch’s GPS, 46mm model to $399 from $429. New models of any of the brand’s devices don’t usually appear this soon in the Apple deals of any retailer, so we’re not sure what happened here. You shouldn’t complain if you’re interested in taking advantage of this bargain though — push through with the transaction right away so that you can get the Apple Watch Series 10 for cheaper than usual.

Slacked off all summer? Here are 3 fitness trackers that’ll help you stay accountable as you head back to school

Three trackers, three price points, three totally different approaches to keeping you honest about your own goals.

Summer break did what it usually does. Your sleep schedule drifted, workouts happened less often than you'd hoped, and by the time August rolled around, you were feeling it. You've got a plan to get back on track once the school year starts and your days have more structure, but you know how that usually goes. The first two weeks are solid, then the routine quietly slips.

A fitness tracker won't get you off your couch. What it will do is put a number in front of you every day, one that makes it obvious whether you stuck to your goal or slacked off. That small bit of visibility is often the difference between meaning to work out and actually doing it. Back-to-school season is a good time to buy in, since you're already resetting more than one part of your routine, and the overlap makes the habit more likely to stick. To keep the odds in your favor, here are three fitness trackers that can help you stay accountable and actually hit your goals.

Galaxy Watch 9 vs. Watch Series 11: Has Apple finally met its smartwatch match?

From AI-powered health coaching to outdoor fitness tracking, here's how Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 stacks up against Apple's Watch Series 11.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

These days, the real battleground between smartwatches is who can turn a wrist-worn, sensor-loaded device into something that resembles a personal fitness trainer, and this year's crop of flagship wearables takes that fight more seriously than ever.

Samsung just refreshed its mainstream Galaxy Watch line with a new silicon and a batch of clinically-backed health tools, landing squarely on Apple's home turf of preventive wellness tracking. Apple, for its part, has spent the better part of a year letting its Series 11 sit as the reigning pick for anyone inside its ecosystem, propped up by a software catalog few rivals match feature-for-feature.

Instagram is finally going after Ray-Ban Meta-wearing creeps

Two pickup-artist accounts with over a million followers each are already gone, but the crackdown seems more like damage control than an actual fix.

The Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses and case.

Getting filmed without your knowledge by someone wearing Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses might soon have real consequences, at least on Instagram. Business Insider reports the platform has started pulling videos showing wearers harassing strangers, covering everything from staged pickup-line encounters to workplace pranks aimed at cashiers and fast-food employees. Instagram head Adam Mosseri addressed the issue in a recent Instagram Story, saying the platform is "trying to fight that every way we can."

Two accounts down, but the rulebook is missing
