When it comes to great Apple deals, it’s a smart move to buy at this time of year — Apple devices are a little cheaper due to being in the middle of their lifespan. A perfect example is being able to buy the Apple Watch SE 2 at Amazon for just $199. The smartwatch normally costs $249, so you’re saving 20% or $50 off the regular price. It’s easy to think you have to spend twice that much on smartwatch deals, but in reality the Apple Watch SE 2 will suit most people’s needs while being surprisingly affordable. If you’re looking to achieve your fitness goals more easily, this can help a ton too. Here’s what the Apple Watch SE 2 has to offer.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

When we reviewed the Apple Watch SE 2, we described it as “simple, cheap, and brilliant,” giving it a 4.5-star rating. Our reviewer found it “comfortable to wear 24 hours a day” and appreciated its “comprehensive, yet simple-to-use fitness tracking.”

This particular model is the 40mm case size and uses Apple’s tough Ion-X glass over the screen. It looks great and is just the right size for fitting on your wrist while still offering plenty of screen space for tapping your way through options. The Apple Watch SE 2’s greatest strength is its fitness tracking. One highlight of any Apple Watch is its activity rings system which helps you monitor how much you’re walking, burning calories, or simply how often you stand up throughout the day. It also provides plenty of challenges and badges to encourage you to achieve your goals.

Capable of tracking all manners of exercises from walking to cycling, running, and even swimming, the Apple Watch SE 2 will help you monitor everything you’re doing. It’s strong encouragement when trying to build up your strength or cardio levels. It also enables you to check all your phone notifications from your wrist, and it also allows you to monitor your heart rate and receive irregular rhythm alerts. It also has fall and crash detection in case the worst happens.

The Apple Watch SE 2 is easily one of the best smartwatches for those on a budget, but make sure you own an iPhone. It won’t pair with Android phones.

For everyone else, the Apple Watch SE 2 is a great option. It’s even more appealing while on sale at Amazon. Usually $249, it’s down to $199 for a limited time, so you save $50 by buying today. Check it out for yourself by tapping the button below.

The Pixel 11 is almost here, but I’m more excited about what could come with it
Maroon, Text

It’s August, which means one thing if you follow smartphones even remotely closely: new Pixels are almost here. Google is holding its next Made by Google event on August 12, and this year, we’re expecting another packed lineup of phones. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all expected to take the stage. Yes, that’s the same four-phone lineup Google gave us last year, but the interesting part will obviously be what’s changing underneath. Between the usual camera improvements, new hardware, and whatever AI tricks Google has been cooking up, there should be plenty to talk about.

And the phones may only be part of the story. Google is expected to have a few more announcements up its sleeve, making this one of its biggest hardware events of the year. So, if you’re planning to tune in, here’s when the Made by Google event starts, how you can watch it, and everything we expect Google to announce.

Kids’ smartwatches are meant to keep children safe, but hackers can turn them into stalking devices

A smartwatch designed to help parents keep tabs on their children turned out to be surprisingly easy to hijack. In a new demonstration, security researchers showed how hackers could secretly monitor someone wearing a GPS-enabled kids' smartwatch.

They can take photos, listen through its microphone, and even track location without the wearer noticing. These findings, reported by Wired, highlight a much larger problem that goes well beyond a single gadget.

Caviar just gave Meta’s smart glasses the gold treatment but forgot to make it pretty
Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses just got a $6,840 gold makeover nobody asked for.
Caviar Meta Glasses

Luxury customization brand Caviar has built a reputation for taking mainstream gadgets and wrapping them in gold, diamonds and exotic materials. Its latest project follows that familiar formula, but this time the company has turned its attention to wearable AI. Caviar has unveiled a luxury edition of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, replacing the standard design with 24-karat gold accents and an alligator leather case while pushing the price to $6,840.

Dubbed the Odyssey, the limited-edition smart glasses arrive at an interesting moment for the category. AI glasses are gradually moving into the mainstream as companies including Meta, Google and Apple continue investing in wearable computing. Yet Caviar isn't attempting to improve the technology underneath. Instead, it is betting that exclusivity alone is enough to convince wealthy buyers to spend nearly ten times the price of the standard product.
