How to choose a smartwatch

Interested in getting a smartwatch for yourself, but aren’t exactly sure what model is right for you? There are a few things to think about when buying a smartwatch. Namely, it’s important to consider whether you’re looking for something mainly for fitness tracking, or for everyday use. If you want one for everyday use and you have an iPhone, it’s probably best to simply get an Apple Watch. If, however, you’re an Android user, there are still plenty of options for you. You could get a device with Google’s Wear OS, or you could go for a Samsung device instead. The Samsung Galaxy Watch, for example, has been consistently rated as one of the best smartwatches for Android users, thanks to its great design and excellent fitness-tracking features.

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.
