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.

Snap launches SPECS, its big bet on glasses as the next computer
From hands-free AI to virtual screens and real-time translation, SPECS is aiming beyond Snapchat.
Kaia Gerber wearing Snap SPECS featured

Snap is taking another swing at the idea that glasses could become the next computer. The company has officially introduced SPECS, a pair of augmented reality glasses with an AI-native operating system designed to put digital information directly into the wearer’s view. Unlike some AR experiments that need a separate computing puck or tether, SPECS packs its computing hardware directly into the glasses.

And this isn't just Snapchat with a fancy pair of frames. SPECS can handle navigation, real-time translation, entertainment, fitness, education, shopping, and even productivity. Users can get directions overlaid onto the real world, translate conversations into subtitles across 60 languages, stream content onto a virtual 115-inch display, and wirelessly connect the glasses to a computer for a larger workspace.

Meta’s next smart glasses could ditch the camera to win back your trust
Meta may be ready to tackle smart glasses privacy concerns by ditching the camera.
Meta Ray Ban Glasses

Meta's smart glasses have had a rough time earning trust. Ever since they launched, people have used them to record others without so much as a heads-up, and a cottage industry has popped up to help wearers disable the recording light so they can film people without anyone noticing. 

On top of that, there's growing unease over Meta using footage captured by these glasses to train its AI without users' consent. It looks like Meta might finally be doing something about the backlash. According to a report from The Information, Meta is developing a pair of smart glasses that skip the camera altogether.
