If you love the great outdoors and big adventures, you already know that you need rugged equipment to keep up. Anything fragile or testy will break down easily when subjected to the elements. Something like a smartwatch, for example, needs to be tough, water-resistant, and ready to take on the world. Allow me to introduce the Amazfit T-Rex 3 smartwatch, built from the ground up figuratively for the outdoors. Able to withstand temperatures from 158 degrees Fahrenheit down to negative 22 degrees Fahrenheit, this beast of a machine will definitely keep up. It’s also on sale right now for Black Friday. Normally $280, it’s yours for just $235 — saving you $45. That deal is only good until November 27, however, so don’t wait too long if you’re interested.

If you want a solid, in-depth look at the watch, be sure to check out Andy Boxall’s hands-on with the Amazfit T-Rex 3. He agrees it’s rough, tough, and capable, and even ditched his Apple Watch for it. He also praises the watch for its intelligent design, solid functionality, and accessible price. Speaking of accessible price, with this Black Friday deal Amazfit is offering the T-Rex 3 smartwatch is more affordable than ever. It shaves $45 off the regular price, bringing it down to a reasonable $235.

You get a rugged outdoor smartwatch that’s excellent for athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle. It can withstand extreme temperatures. Offers a waterproof design up to 328 feet, and has a bright 2.000 nit screen so you can see the display outdoors. The 1.5-inch display beautifully shows GPS maps, workout data, and sleep recovery info, right where you need it. Get over three weeks of battery life under typical use, or about 13 days under heavy use. That’s a far cry from having to charge every night and allows you to break free from outlets — a big deal when you’re out in the wilds.

Download offline GPS maps viewable on the watch to help you navigate or keep track of your location. Moreover, a ton of detailed outdoor trackers give you all the info you need from a compass, air pressure reader, altitude, storm alert mode and more.

As if that wasn’t enough, tap into Amazfit’s Zepp Flow AI assistant which can help with standard tasks like sending speech-to-text messages or reading alerts. It can also help with personalized fitness goals — via Zepp Coach — and more. If you’ve been wanting a smartwatch or need an upgrade definitely consider this one, especially at the Black Friday price.

Apple’s rumored camera AirPods Pro may have hit a major roadblock
Bloomberg had them nearly done. Kosutami says suspended. The truth is somewhere Apple hasn't shared yet.
AirPods Pro 3 case view top

In May, Bloomberg reported that Apple's camera-equipped AirPods Pro had reached "advanced" testing and could be heading toward early mass production. As someone who has used both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3, I was looking forward to them.

This week, a leaker has contradicted that. Kosutami, a prototype collector and occasional Apple leaker, posted on X that the project has been "suspended." No additional details were provided. The post appeared to correct an earlier June update in which Kosutami had described the product's development "case" as "concluded," suggesting the revision was meaningful (via MacRumors).

Your Galaxy Watch is losing a health feature, and the replacement needs another gadget
Samsung is killing Vascular Load on Galaxy Watches
Blood pressure on Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watches have been leaning harder into health features with every generation. Sleep scores, heart metrics, blood pressure, and much more are all big selling points. Samsung is removing the standalone Vascular Load feature for Galaxy Watch users in the United States.

According to a Samsung Health notice spotted by users on Reddit (via SammyGuru), the feature will no longer be available starting in late July with Samsung Health 7.0 and the One UI Watch 9 update. Samsung’s notice reportedly says existing Vascular Load records will also disappear from Samsung Health once the feature is removed. Users who want to keep that history need to export their personal data in advance through Samsung Health settings.

The OPPO Watch X3 has a ridiculous feature I cannot stop using
My smartwatch let me doomscroll from my wrist
Oppo Watch X3 Media Controls

While smartwatches were built to make us more health-conscious and have us reach for our phones less often. I always believed that a second (smaller) screen on your wrist basically can be just as distracting as your smartphone, and the Oppo Watch X3 decided to stop pretending by doubling down on this.

The Oppo Watch X3 comes with a dedicated remote control feature that lets me control my phone from my wrist, and I am having way too much fun messing around with it. This sounds ridiculous, but it has also been surprisingly handy.
