Apple’s iPhone 16 event was a stunning showcase of Apple devices yet to come. On top of new phones, earbuds, and other gear, Apple announced two new Apple Watch models: the Apple Watch Series 10 and an update to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. These new wearables look fantastic, and the unveiling is already having a trickle-down effect on older Apple Watch models. In fact, we found this great offer on one particular smartwatch while looking through Walmart deals:

Right now, you can buy the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), with a 40mm band and GPS tracking at Walmart for only $190. At full price, this model sells for $250.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen)

Even though Apple’s Watch Series 10 and Watch UItra 2 are going to supersede the Watch SE (2nd Gen) in just about every way, the SE 2 is able to lean on its value pricing and excellent performance to remain relevant. This smartwatch was designed from the ground up to be a more budget-friendly Apple offering while still providing a ton of must-have wearable features. The Watch SE 2 lets you track everything from heart rate and steps to sleep cycles, and the revamped SE model even adds Fall Detection and Crash Detection to its list of capabilities!

On a full charge, the SE 2 should last for up to 18 hours, and it can be charged wirelessly or with the included Apple Watch cable. The watch face and 40mm band size is available in three colors (Midnight, Silver, and Starlight), too, so you’ll be able to pick a shade that best matches your style. You’ll also be able to perform a ton of iPhone functions with the Watch SE 2, such as taking calls, sending texts, listening to music, and a handful of other actions.

Other great features include water resistance up to 50 meters and the ability to handshake and interact with a number of different Apple devices. We’re not sure how long Walmart is going to keep this markdown in effect, so now is always the best time to buy! Save big on the Apple Watch SE 2 when you purchase through Walmart, and be sure to check out our master list of Apple Watch deals.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.

WinFuture claims to have obtained the technical specifications for the Galaxy Watch 9 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Exynos processors, increase battery capacity on selected models, and introduce updated connectivity hardware across the lineup.

These AR glasses give you a 147-inch virtual display you can carry around in your pocket

XREAL announced its lower-cost xbx sub-brand earlier this year, and its first product is now available in the U.S. The xbx a01+ costs $299 through XREAL’s online store, putting it below the company’s more expensive AR glasses.

The a01+ is mainly built for watching videos, playing games, or using a laptop on a large virtual screen. It connects to compatible phones, handheld consoles, and computers over USB-C, so it works more like a wearable display than a standalone headset.
