The Apple Watch Series 7 is the latest addition to the company’s smartwatch lineup. It offers a bigger display with shrunk bezels, so the overall size remains similar to the previous generation. The Watch Series 7 offers an excellent design, fast charging, and all-day battery life.

If you are looking for the best Apple Watch that has the latest specs and features with a gorgeous design, the Watch Series 7 should be your pick. Apple not only upgraded the display size but improved the charging speed, and this Apple Watch Series 7 Cyber Monday deal makes it cheaper than ever.

The Apple Watch Series 6 comes equipped with the same processor as the Watch Series 7, so you need not worry about its performance. It is fluid, fast, and easy to navigate. With all the fitness features, you get an always-on screen, a bright display, and an amazing design that is built to last.

The Apple Watch Series 6 might not be the latest smartwatch from the company but it is still great. If you want an Apple Watch that offers all the latest features, always-on display, fast performance, and all-day battery life, this Apple Watch Series 6 Cyber Monday deal is your pick.

The Apple Watch SE was launched alongside the Series 6 as a budget offering for people looking for the latest hardware but don’t want to spend a fortune on a smartwatch. The Watch SE offers an all-day battery life, a similar design as the Watch Series 6, and should last you as long as the flagship devices.

If you are in the market for an Apple Watch but don’t want to spend more than $300 on a wearable, the Apple Watch SE should be your go-to option. It doesn’t offer blood oxygen monitoring but is still great for all the fitness features it offers — and this Apple Watch SE Cyber Monday deal sees it on sale for $50 off.

Don’t buy the Apple Watch Series 3

After all these years, Apple still sells a four-year-old wearable. The $200 price tag might intrigue you, but please don’t buy the Apple Watch Series 3 in 2021. Firstly, the design has aged now that we’re in 2021. You’ll notice the thick bezels and an old design. Secondly, it is a heavy wearable. Third, updating the Apple Watch Series 3 to the latest watchOS is a mess, which you would like to skip. Fourth, the specifications don’t measure up in 2021. If you want a budget Apple Watch, go get the Series SE.

Google may finally be ready to launch its own answer to the AirTag, but it apparently won’t rely on a lower price to win over Android users.

The Pixel Tag is expected to cost €34.90 in Europe, according to Dealabs. Apple charges €35 for a single AirTag in France, leaving Google with a price advantage of just 10 cents. The tracker could be announced during Google’s August 12 hardware event.

The transition may take several weeks, so Assistant won’t vanish from every device at once. Once the change reaches an eligible Android device, Gemini will replace Assistant with no option to switch back.

Google’s Pixel Watch 5 may be an even smaller hardware upgrade than previous reports suggested. Marketing material and a technical document obtained by MyMobiles (in collaboration with @OnLeaks) reportedly show the same Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor, 3,000-nit display, charging speeds, and battery-life estimates as the Pixel Watch 4.

The main hardware change appears to be 64GB of storage, twice as much as last year. Google is also expected to ship the watch with Wear OS 7 and slightly larger batteries. Gemini and updated health features could end up doing most of the heavy lifting on the upcoming smartwatch.
