Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

The SE 2 is a budget-friendly wearable that comes in quite a bit cheaper than even the best Apple Watch Series 9 deals. “Cheap” doesn’t translate to performance though, as the SE 2 can more than hold its own; regardless of the apps, settings, and automations you’ve set up for it. Powered by the exact same processor as the Apple Watch Series 8, you can expect fast load times, smooth animations, and efficient battery utilization. Speaking of which: On a full charge, you should get up to 18 hours from the SE 2. 

Available in 40mm and 44mm band sizes, you’ll have the choice of three awesome colors: Silver, Starlight, and Midnight. If you’ve used Apple Watch controls in the past, the Digital Crown and power button on the right side should feel familiar. Conveniently, the SE 2 is also up to 18% lighter than the previous SE model.

Apple’s watchOS 9 runs the show on the SE 2, and the OS is about as intuitive and feature-packed as one should expect from Apple hardware; especially when it comes to health and fitness functions. An improved accelerometer provides statistical breakdowns of the steps you’ve taken in a day, along with fall detection and Apple’s new Car Crash detection. There’s also a pulse sensor for monitoring your heart rate, sleep detection capabilities, and several other health and wellness features. 

There’s a couple of things missing from the SE 2 that you’ll find on more advanced versions of the Apple Watch, like the temperature and oxygen sensors. There’s also no onscreen keyboard, which can make messaging a bit of a pain. But if you’re willing to forego these extras, Walmart’s $60 markdown on the SE 2 is a sale you shouldn’t pass up. Retailing for $250, you can purchase for just $189 while this wearable deal lasts!

Your dog can run, but Fi’s new Starlink satellite-backed tracker makes sure you can still find them
Fi Ultra borrows Starlink satellites to find pups that wander off the grid
Fi Ultra dog tracker

A runaway pup can race into a forest or across miles of open countryside, leaving its owner with a GPS tracker that suddenly has no way to report its location. But Fi is looking to solve that problem with the Fi Ultra, which is a new dog tracker that falls back on SpaceX’s Starlink network whenever cellular coverage disappears. The company describes it as the first dog tracker powered by T-Mobile’s T-Satellite with Starlink service. It is available now in the US for $199, plus a $20 activation fee and a $189 annual membership.

Still waiting for a cheaper Vision Pro? New report brings bad news
Another nail just landed in the cheaper Vision Pro’s coffin
Apple Vision Pro

After bouncing around rumors and reports, the cheaper Vision Pro dream might be dead. We've seen delays, a supposed cancellation, and even a possible revival over the last couple of months. But a new supply chain report suggests it may finally be time to stop waiting.

Apple has reportedly suspended development of a lower-cost display intended for a lighter, more affordable Vision headset. Samsung Display plans to formally terminate the project in September, according to Korean outlet The Elec. Apple has made no public announcement about canceling the headset, although losing its purpose-built display makes an eventual launch look increasingly improbable.

Google has already confirmed its next Made by Google event for August 12 to unveil the Pixel 11 series smartphones. While it wasn't confirmed whether the brand planned to launch a new generation of wearables this year, a new price leak from Dealabs suggests that the Pixel Watch 5 will also break cover at the event, and it might come with a price hike, just like the Pixel smartphones.

According to Dealabs, Google is keeping the same basic Pixel Watch 5 lineup as last year. The watch is expected to come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well as 4G LTE models.
