The Apple Watch Series 4 is still at its lowest price for Father’s Day

Apple Watch Series 4 — Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

There are still a lot of great smartwatch deals to be had, with sales continuing on select Apple Watch models at both Amazon and Walmart through Father’s Day. These include a deal on the 38mm Series 3 GPS that is

one of the lowest prices we’ve seen yet,

as well as on the new and

slightly larger 40mm Series 4.

Walmart

is still offering

the 38mm Series 3 GPS for just $199, $80 off its normal retail price. This smaller size is perfect for smaller wrists, and the integrated GPS makes it a great choice for those looking to use the watch for fitness tracking.

The 42mm size

is also marked down by $80, and is currently $229.

While you’ll still need the phone to use the non-fitness-related apps, the Series 3 GPS is a great watch overall. The new S3 chip provides a 70% performance bump over previous generations, addressing one of the Apple Watch’s previous issues — somewhat laggy performance. It’s waterproof as well, yet another added benefit.

On Amazon, the 40mm Series 4

remains at $339

and is also one of the lowest prices for a brand-new device we’ve seen so far. With the Series 4, you’re getting a larger screen and yet another performance bump thanks to a new processor and a few new features.

The most notable of these is the new ECG monitor, which allows you to check for atrial fibrillation, one of the possible precursors to heart attacks, and decent battery life. Again, there’s no cellular connectivity with this one, but the integrated GPS will allow you to continue to use your fitness apps even when your phone isn’t nearby.

It’s overall a much better watch, and right now on Amazon it’s pretty cheap considering the prices we’ve seen elsewhere.

Yes, we’ve posted a lot about smartwatches over the past few weeks, but those are by no means the only tech gadgets on sale right now. You might want to take a look at our recent roundup of great Father’s Day tech deals, and we’ve also recently uncovered great Amazon sales on a variety of tablets. Of course, our deals page has dozens of tech gadgets currently on sale from a variety of retailers.

Best back-to-school Apple Pencil deals: Save on both generations

The 2nd gen Apple Pencil laying on a table.

With the first day of school about three weeks away, depending on where you live, parents are returning to thinking about school supplies. While students themselves are trying to squeeze out every last joyful moment of summer, parents know that the time is short lived and school bells will arrive at any moment. For many, this means picking up lined paper or a sturdier binder that didn't have to face 2022. But, for others, it might include a Chromebook for students or something to make notetaking a little easier. For yet others, it might include these great deals on the Apple Pencil 1 and 2 that we've seen pop up this year, which make great companions for the Back-to-School iPad deals we're also seeing.
Apple Pencil (1st Gen) — $79, was $99

The original Apple Pencil is a handy, precision-controlled device that translates your hand movements to a tablet, much like paper. With real pencils we can tilt our pencils sideways to create thicker lines. And so can we with the Apple Pencil 1, which uses tilt to determine line thickness and pressure to determine color density. It's a great way to help your students keep up their hand-written note-taking skills while also being able to interact with today's increasingly digital school materials.

The best kind of TV deals are ones where you can save on one of the best TVs currently available. That's what Best Buy is offering with $400 off the Samsung 65-inch S95B OLED TV. It's usually $2,000 so this works out as a 20% saving bringing it down to $1,600. For anyone looking to own a truly great TV, you really don't want to miss out on this deal. Take a quick look at what else we have to say about it then move straight onto buying it.

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch S95B OLED TV
Samsung is usually better known for being one of the best TV brands when it comes to QLED technology but it's recently moved into offering up OLED panels too like the Samsung 65-inch S95B OLED TV. It's a truly exceptional TV for picture quality. In Samsung's words, it's made OLED better by adding QD (Quantum Dots) so you get incredible detail along with pure blacks, vibrant colors, and exceptional screen brightness. Thanks to OLED technology, each of the 8.3 million pixels can self-illuminate so you get a movie theater-style like experience. In conjunction with that, there's quantum HDR OLED technology with an expanded dynamic range. That's all further assisted by Samsung's Neural Quantum processor with 4K upscaling so that the picture is optimized scene-by-scene.
