iPhone owners who are thinking about finally joining the smartwatch bandwagon can do so on a budget with the second-generation Apple Watch SE. The cost is even lower right now following Walmart’s $60 discount for the GPS, 40mm version of the wearable device, slashing its price to just $189 from $249. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before its price goes back to normal though, so to make sure that you don’t miss out on one of the cheapest Apple Watch deals available, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

We tagged the Apple Watch SE 2 as the best budget smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches primarily because it’s almost the same wearable device as the previous-generation Apple Watch Series 8, but for a more affordable price. It even holds up against the latest version, with our Apple Watch Series 9 versus Apple Watch SE 2 comparison highlighting that the budget-friendly smartwatch is still compatible with the new watchOS 10, and it offers many of the same health-tracking features and nearly identical fitness options as the Apple Watch Series 9.

The Apple Watch SE 2 offers fall detection and crash detection, with an emergency message automatically sent to your loved ones when it detects that you’re involved in an accident. It also has a water resistance rating of up to 50 meters, and a battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. It’s also very easy to pair with your iPhone, in a setup process that only takes a few minutes to complete.

If you’re on the hunt for affordable smartwatch deals and you own an iPhone, there’s probably no better option right now than Walmart’s offer for the GPS, 40mm model of the second-generation Apple Watch SE. From its sticker price of $249, it’s down to $189 for savings of $60, but we don’t think the wearable device will stay this cheap for long. The bargain will end soon or the stocks up for sale will run out quickly — either way, you’re going to have to finish your transaction for the second-generation Apple Watch SE as soon as possible.

Google’s Stephen Curry Pixel Watch 5 is an expensive affair that ends at the strap
Google wants €31 extra for a Pixel Watch band that eventually gives up
Stephen Curry Pixel Watch 5

Google's upcoming Pixel Watch 5 Stephen Curry Special Edition is shaping up to be a fairly straightforward Pixel Watch 5 with a more distinctive strap and a roughly $35 premium. The bigger question is whether the extra cost gets you anything that will actually last.

According to leaked Google marketing material obtained by MyMobiles, the special edition will cost €579.99 in Europe. It is based on the 45mm LTE Pixel Watch 5, making it the most expensive standard configuration in the lineup. The regular 45mm LTE model is expected to cost €549, putting the Curry edition about €31 more expensive.

I’m done charging things that never leave my desk
Wireless peripherals are better than ever, but I’m starting to value the devices that ask absolutely nothing of me
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work.

Then my mouse died in the middle of a game.

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.
