Apple announced a lot of great stuff at the Glowtime keynote, and one of the biggest is the new Watch Series 10 with a ton of upgraded features, including a larger display, which is, in fact, the largest display on an Apple Watch so far. It’s also a wide-angle OLED, so you can see it at steeper angles than before, which makes using it a lot easier. Plus the 40% increase in max brightness means you aren’t going to go running for shade every time you want to check it. It can also charge an incredible 80% battery after only half an hour of charging, which solves one of the bigger issues with smartwatches for those who want to use them to track their health and fitness.
Along with the new Watch Series 10, a new color for the Watch Ultra 2 was announced: Satin Black Titanium. No other changes have been made to the Ultra 2 in terms of specs, so it’s mostly just the new case color that you can snag if you’re interested.
While we’re still waiting for pre-orders from the main retailers to come in, if you’re looking to grab yourself a pre-order right now, we’ve listed all your options below.
As you can imagine, with Apple just announcing the new Watch Series 10, the best preorder offers you’ll find are from Apple. The starting price is $399 for the standard Aluminium with GPS or up to $799 if you buy the Titanium case with GPS + Cellular in the 46mm size. You can also get between $50 and $365 in trade-in value, although the higher end of that is mostly going to be for the newer Apple Watches that are in pristine condition. Sadly, there is no way to get it down to zero, but you can knock off quite a substantial amount of that with the trade-in.
While AT&T doesn’t offer any direct discounts on the Apple Watch Series 10, it does offer a deal that gives you $300 in bill credits over 36 months if you purchase two Watch Series 10 when checking out. This deal applies to any plan, so you don’t need any specific AT&T plans to take advantage of this deal.
T-Mobile also offers a similar deal where you get $300 bill credits over 24 months when purchasing two Watch Series 10 watches when checking out. You will need a Plus plan to take advantage of this offer, as well as a second line, and if you cancel the agreement any time before the 24 month period, you have to pay the remaining balance.
Verizon doesn’t offer any bill credits, but it does offer a trade-in program that will let you get up to $180 in trade-in credit for your older device. Just be aware that the trade-in doesn’t apply to all smartwatches, although Verizon does cover most Samsung and Apple watches, as well as the two Pixel watches. You can also save an additional $120 if you purchase a 5G Apple iPhone with any plan when you purchase the Watch Series 10.
Now that the original event announcement is in the rearview mirror, preorder options from various retailers have started to trickle in. Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart are all offering a pre-order, although it seems only Best Buy has any additional perks, such as trade-in credit and a few free months of various Apple subscriptions. As for the carriers, we’re still waiting to see any deals pop-up from them, so if you’re waiting to snag a carrier pre-order, you may have to wait another day or two.
While the Apple Watch Series Ultra 2 hasn’t really received any new updates, Apple is releasing it in a new color, so if you haven’t grabbed the Ultra 2 yet, now is the perfect time. Pre-orders are available only at Apple for the moment, with prices starting at $799, which can reach $899 if you go for the Titanium Milanese Loop. The Ultra 2 also has the same trade-in as the Watch Series 10, with anywhere between $50-$365 in trade-in credit, depending on the quality and model of the smartwatch you’re trading in.
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.
