With the unveiling of the Apple Watch SE 3, now’s an excellent time to hunt for smartwatch deals featuring the Apple Watch SE 2. Here’s one from Walmart — the GPS, 40mm version at $60 off, for a lowered price of only $189 from $249. We’re not sure how much stock is remaining for this wearable device though, so if you’re interested in buying a previous-generation model to enjoy savings, you need to complete your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

The Apple Watch SE 3 was announced at Apple’s iPhone 17 event, and it comes with some important upgrades to its predecessor such as an always-on display and the more efficient S10 chip. However, the Apple Watch SE 2 is still a pretty nice smartwatch by today’s standards, with the S8 chip providing performance that will be more than enough for most people. The wearable device can receive the notifications from your paired iPhone so that you won’t have to take it out of your pocket each time, and you can customize it with a wide range of choices for watch bands and watch faces.

One of the major reasons for buying an Apple Watch is for health and fitness tracking, and the Apple Watch SE 2 won’t disappoint. While you’ll miss out on the electrocardiogram that’s found in the flagship line of the wearable device, the Apple Watch SE 2 will send notifications when it detects an abnormally high or low heart rate, and it will be able to collect data from your workouts. The smartwatch also offers fall and crash detection, basic sleep tracking, and the Ring-based motivational system for your daily goals.

Walmart has slashed the price of the GPS, 40mm model of the Apple Watch SE 2 by $60, so you’ll only have to pay $189 for the smartwatch instead of $249. However, as with all Apple deals, this offer will likely draw a lot of attention. There’s a chance that the stocks that are up for sale run out sooner than you expect, so if you don’t want to miss this chance to buy the Apple Watch SE 2 for a much more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend finalizing your transaction immediately.

One of the most controversial federal agencies is banning workers from using Meta smart glasses
ICE is worried Meta smart glasses could record sensitive information, even as the Department of Homeland Security explores smart glasses of its own

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has banned employees from wearing Meta smart glasses in federal workplaces over concerns that they could capture sensitive information and undermine privacy or legal protections, according to The New York Times. The rule applies to everyone at ICE, not only agents working in the field.

ICE is effectively treating personally owned smart glasses like unauthorized body cameras. That fits its existing policy restricting recordings made by personnel while performing official duties.
