If you’ve been waiting for Amazon’s Prime Day to take advantage of Apple Watch deals, you can actually start your shopping right now. For those who have their eyes on the Apple Watch Series 10, you can currently get the GPS, 42mm model with the Sport Loop from Amazon at 25% off, bringing the smartwatch’s price back down from $399 to its lowest-ever price $299. That’s a $100 discount that we don’t expect to grow bigger when the shopping holiday arrives, so you’ll want to proceed with the purchase right now while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

While the Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to debut this fall, the Apple Watch Series 10 is still the latest model of the popular smartwatch. With a solid score of 4 stars out of 5 stars in our review, it’s no surprise that we’ve tagged it as the best smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches. It’s got all of the excellent fitness features that have made the Apple Watch an amazing health monitoring device, as well as the innovative safety features such as Fall Detection and Crash Detection. The Apple Watch Series 10 will let you send text messages, take phone calls, listen to music, and receive notifications without having to take your iPhone out of your pocket, and it’s incredibly durable with crack resistance, water resistance of up to 50 meters, and an IP6X rating for dust resistance.

The Apple Watch Series 10 may look just like the Apple Watch Series 9 on first glance, but our Apple Watch Series 10 versus Apple Watch Series 9 comparison reveals a lot of important upgrades. The latest model features a thinner body, a brighter display that also expands farther down the sides for a better look at the screen, a faster processor with the S10 SiP, and quicker charging.

Prime Day is a great time to shop for smartwatch deals, but the Apple Watch Series 10 is already on sale from Amazon. The GPS, 42mm model with the Sport Loop is back down to its lowest-ever price of $299 from $399 following a $100 discount, which is a rare chance to get the latest model of an Apple device at 25% off. You need to hurry if you want to get the Apple Watch Series 10 for this special price though — add it to your cart and finish the checkout process immediately to make sure that you grab the savings.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part
