DT Giveaway: Win a sleek and smart Martian Notifier watch

By DT Staff Published March 3, 2016

Useful smartwatches are few and far between, but if ever there was a smartwatch that deserves more respect, it’s the Martian Notifier. We loved using the Martian Notifier here at DT and it’s currently among our most highly rated wearables of all time. It even won an editor’s choice award. Thanks to GetGeeked NYC and Martian, we’re giving away Notifier smartwatches to two lucky DT readers!

DTers in New York, be sure to check out the GetGeeked conference at 7PM ET Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Metropolitan West. You can register for the event here. We’ll all be there and our Photography Editor, Les Shu, is hosting a panel.

For those of you who’ve never heard of the Martian Notifier before, it’s a classy smartwatch that connects with your iPhone or Android smartphone to subtly give you notifications throughout the day. Unlike most smartwatches, the Notifier looks like a normal wristwatch and won’t attract too much attention. You can easily go incognito with the Martian Notifier on your wrist.

Apple’s new Upgrade plan won’t punish missed payments with restrictions, but three strikes could end your lease

Restricted Mode remains in iOS 27 beta, but Apple says it won’t be used for Upgrade payment defaults

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple recently announced its new Apple Upgrade leasing plan, which lets customers pay monthly for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch through Klarna. The program replaces the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program and expands the option beyond phones for the first time.

However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode.

Nothing’s first proper smartwatch could be the wrist candy Android needs

Just like how smartphones have settled into a familiar routine, smartwatches have also become quite predictable. But Nothing might be planning on shaking things up for wearables. A tipster claims the company is preparing its first smartwatch under the main Nothing brand. The unnamed wearable will reportedly launch in September, cost less than $300 in the US, and initially reach a limited number of markets.

Its design is also said to carry the “typical Nothing DNA” that has helped the company’s phones and audio gear stand apart. Right after this, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis joined the conversation with a separate, cryptic post. It adds some company-side smoke to the leak, although Nothing has yet to announce the watch or reveal any hardware details formally.

Google could soon let you unlock your Pixel Watch with your phone

An in-development feature could flip the current Watch Unlock feature, letting an authenticated phone unlock the watch automatically.

If you've set up a PIN on your Pixel Watch, you already know the prompt that shows up every time you slip it back on your wrist. It's a useful security measure, but entering a PIN on that small screen multiple times a day gets old fast. A new report suggests Google may be working on a way to let you skip it.
