One of the best smartwatch deals right now is one many of us have been waiting for — the cheapest-ever price on the Apple Watch Series 8. Over at Amazon, it’s normally priced at $399 but right now, it’s down to $329 for a very limited time only. We’re expecting stock to fly out on this one as a $70 saving is rare to see on the latest watch from Apple. Let’s take a quick look at why you might need it in your life.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 8

Always one of the Apple Watch deals to watch for, the Apple Watch Series 8 is a great wearable for most people, provided they own an iPhone. At its simplest, you can use it to track all your exercise and workouts. Thanks to Apple’s neat activity rings system, you’re motivated to burn more calories, stand more often throughout the day, and participate in exercise too. It’s surprisingly compelling and you soon end up competing against yourself with a selection of workout awards further enticing you.

The medical information of the Apple Watch Series 8 is the true highlight though, demonstrating why it’s one of the best smartwatches around. Besides tracking various stats, it’s also able to monitor your blood oxygen levels and also take an ECG at any time. Sure, these aren’t medical grade but there’s plenty of evidence to show it makes a difference to people’s well-being to have such figures to hand. You’ll also get a notification if your heart rhythm suddenly becomes irregular, while there are temperature-sensing features for anyone who ovulates.

Other useful tools include extensive sleep tracking, crash detection, fall detection, and the ability to pay with your watch via Apple Pay. With a gorgeous always-on Retina display, it always looks good too while being crack-resistant and IP6X certified for dust resistance, as well as swim proof. It’s a great example of wearable technology finally coming of age so you’ll wonder how you lived without it.

Normally priced at $399, the Apple Watch Series 8 is at its lowest price ever at Amazon, costing just $329. A saving of $70 is great for the latest technology. Buy it now before stock runs out. This really won’t stick around for long.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless noise-cancelling headphones are some of our favorites, and today they have a nice discount. Best Buy has cut the price of the headphones from $329 down to $279. If you've ever thought about upgrading to some high quality headphones, take advantage of this $50 discount. It won't last forever.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort 45
Bose pioneered active noise cancellation technology in the '70s, according to our headphone buying guide, so it's no surprise that this is one of the strongest features of the Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones. It's got six external microphones and enhanced signal processing for an improved ability of blocking external noise, and it also has an Aware Mode that will use the microphones to pick up the sound around you so you can listen to your surroundings without having to take off the wireless headphones. Bose's TriPort acoustic architecture creates deep and clear sound, while adjustable EQ lets you further tune the audio to your preferences.
