Add as a preferred source on Google

Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, we can start refocusing on the deals and discounts that matter most to us (instead of every deal all at once). And if you’ve been shopping around for smartwatch deals, the following offer may be of interest to you: For a limited time, when you purchase the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro (with 51mm band) directly through Amazon or Garmin, you’ll only pay $750. At full price, this model sells for $1,000. The Garmin Fenix 8 is out already, but if you don’t mind having an older model, this deal saves you a nice chunk of change.

Why you should buy the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro

Whether you’re looking for a digital companion to track vitals on your daily jog or you’ve been looking for a way to get more exercise inspiration in general, the Fenix 7X Pro is a great way to jumpstart and maintain a healthier lifestyle. With its 1.4-inch sapphire solar-charged display and 51mm polymer case with a titanium bezel and rear cover, the 7X Pro looks fantastic, is tough as nails, and has a number of intuitive buttons and touchscreen controls.

The watch is designed to last up to 37 days on a full charge (when set to smartwatch mode), so you won’t have to worry about the Fenix 7X Pro losing precious battery when you need it most. We were also glad to learn the watch has a built-in flashlight with a red safety light feature and Strobe Mode, which lets you match light patterns to your running cadence. You’ll also be able to use the ECG app to measure the electric signals of your heartbeat to help you determine whether you have an irregular heart rhythm, along with a boatload of other health-tracking tech.

It’s hard to say how long this discount is going to last, though Cyber Week smartwatch deals like this one have gone pretty quickly in the past. That being said, today might be the best day to save on the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro. Save $250 when you order through the manufacturer, and be sure to check out our roundup of the best fitness deals for even more endurance-adjacent offers!

Virtual taekwondo sounds like a gimmick until it solves the biggest fear of combat sports
The noncontact VR discipline is gaining momentum in Southeast Asia by keeping the athletic grind while reducing the injury risk that scares many people away.
Electronics, Screen, Person

Virtual taekwondo sounds ridiculous in the easiest way. Put on a headset, strap sensors to your body, kick at empty air, and call it a combat sport. Somewhere, Wii Sports is quietly stretching.

Athletes are still kicking, reacting, and gasping through the work. The difference is that the hits land on avatars instead of bodies.

This VR empathy game could be the start of something much creepier
Rekindle uses face-tracking biometrics to deepen player involvement, but the same idea could eventually shape therapy tools, safety systems, and emotionally responsive interfaces.
VR Headset, Accessories, Goggles

A new VR empathy game called Rekindle turns facial expressions into part of the controls. The game asks players to perform emotions, then watches their faces to see whether those reactions match the scene.

The first-person story centers on memory, identity, and empathy for the LGBTQ+ community. Players move through a dystopian future where sexual identity has been targeted and erased, collecting memory fragments tied to the protagonist’s experience.

Carely’s new wearable watches over aging parents so you don’t have to
Because "just checking in" shouldn't be your only safety net.
Carely feature image

Checking in on aging parents usually means playing a proactive game. Are they okay? Did they sleep well? Would you even know if something was wrong before it became serious? You have to be constantly vigilant and check in with your elders. Carely wants to remove that guesswork entirely, and it does so without a screen, an app your parents need to open, or a single daily check-in call.
