Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 8

The Apple Watch Series 8 is the latest installment of Apple’s flagship wearable. Never a company to disappoint when it comes to cutting-edge technology, Apple stuck to the script on the Series 8 – the new Watch introduces temperature sensing, features crash detection, and offers an enhanced workout app, just to name a few of its advantages. The Always-On display has a smooth and seamless design and is easy to read, while the thick front crystal and flat base make it durable and resistant to cracking. The wearable is also dust and water-resistant so that it will last for miles of trail or thousands of laps in the pool.

While the new Apple Watch is loaded with new features, you can expect standard wearable features like heart rate tracking, workout routine recording, phone calls, texts, reminders, and more. Use Maps, Siri, Apple Pay, and all of your favorite Apple apps to connect with friends and family. Also featuring Family Setup, which allows you to use your iPhone to pair watches for your children who don’t have their own iPhones yet. The watch face is also fully customizable for a genuinely unique wearable experience.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is for anyone who wants to learn more about their health and improve their daily lifestyle while carrying on with their everyday activities. Women will love the new temperature-sensing feature that allows them to understand their cycle better than ever. And as always, Apple keeps all your data safe, including Cycle Tracking. The Sleep app is helpful for anyone interested in improving their sleep quality, and with apps like ECG, trackers for blood oxygen levels, and medication reminders, the Apple Watch Series 8 helps you stay on top of your health like never before.

This Prime Day Early Access sale deal from Walmart featuring the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS 45mm for just $379 and the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS 41mm for just $349 offers you a savings of $50 off the original prices won’t last long, especially since this is the first significant discount we’ve seen on the newest Apple wearable.

Apple’s latest iPhone SE can be yours for $149 today

Alongside the many Prime Day deals that Amazon has been running, Walmart has also offered its own sale in the form of Walmart+ Week. One of the best deals there is on the third-generation iPhone SE for just $149. It's a huge saving of $230 compared to the original price of $379 although there is a catch -- the phone is locked to a Straight Talk prepaid subscription. Still, if that isn't an issue for you, this is a super sweet deal. You're going to need to be fast though as with Prime Day running to a close in a matter of hours, it's also likely that deals like these will end soon too. Here's what to expect from it.

Why you should buy the third-generation Apple iPhone SE
The third-generation Apple iPhone SE, which was released in March 2022, is powered by Apple's A15 Bionic chip -- the same one that you'll find in the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14. That means the Apple iPhone SE 2022 is pretty powerful for its price, with snappy performance when you launch even the most demanding apps and when you're multitasking between them. The device is also equipped with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, which may be small compared to the screens of other modern smartphones, but it makes up for the lack of size with excellent color accuracy and overall high quality.

Some of the best smartwatches have become essential tools and companions for our day-to-day lives, whether it's helping decrease screen time or track our health. One of the best is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, which is a great option if you're in the Samsung ecosystem, and even if you're not, it's still the best non-apple smartwatch on the market. Luckily, there are some great Prime Day deals on the Galaxy watches, like this one from Amazon, bringing it down to $151 from $280 for the 40mm version.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is easily one of the best Android smartwatches on the market and has many features. For example, it comes with a gorgeous 1.2-inch AMOLED screen running a 396 x 396 resolution on the 40mm version, and it has bright colors and sharp images, as you'd expect from a screen coming from Amazon. As for performance, it's quick and snappy, backed by Samsung's Exynos W920 chipset and 1.5 GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage, which isn't likely to run out any time soon and helps give a smooth experience. Battery life is also impressive, at roughly 24 hours with an active day, although you could potentially push it to 50 hours if you turn off always-on and lower the brightness.
