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.
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.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
