Amazon slashes the price of the Fossil Q Gen 3 Venture smartwatch by 32%

By

With a bustling market for fitness trackers and smartwatches, it was just a matter of time for traditional watch brands like Fossil to join in the bandwagon. The

Fossil Q women’s Gen 3 Venture smartwatch

flaunts the beautiful combination of style and tech along with its usual $255 price tag but Amazon’s 32% price cut gives ladies the opportunity to be armed with a sleek wearable for $174.

The Gen 3 Venture sports round digital display with touchscreen functionality as its crown and bezel remain fixed. Its 42mm stainless steel case and 18mm women’s standard band length should fit just right without looking bulky or clunky at the wrist. Although its screen’s diameter may be relatively small for a smartwatch, the text is readable in any light condition. At a glance, it may already be attractive but it sure gets better with the option to match your mood and lifestyle. Give it a personal touch by choosing or customizing your watch face or by simply changing the straps.

The smartwatch is powered by Google’s Wear OS and a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor. You should be able to enjoy a smooth and fluid interface as you scroll through your chosen apps, though features may vary between Android (4.4+ excluding Go edition) and iOS (9.3+) devices. With 4GB of storage, you can bank on this watch to store your favorite music as well as provide playback controls. The Gen 3 Venture has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity that enables smart notifications for text, calls, emails, social media, and other app alerts. Although it has controls for the speaker and mic, you will be prompted to continue calls through your smartphone.

Since activity tracking is one of the main reasons why people get a smartwatch, Fossil’s Q Gen 3 Venture is well equipped to count your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and accomplishments. With an IP67 rating for dust and water-resistance, you can wash your hands with no fear as well as track your laps in the pool. Other features would include custom goal and alarm settings, access to weather, and the ability to adapt to multiple timezones.

Battery life may be based on usage but you will be glad to know that the

is published to last more or less 24 hours on a single three-hour charge. Get smarter with a wearable that is more than a fashionable accessory for $81 less on Amazon.

Hurry — this LG 70-inch 4K TV just had its price slashed to $600
hisense h65 series lg un7070 samsung 7 4k tv deals best buy summer sale 2020 55 inch 2 720x720

LG is well-known for making some of the best TVs on the market, and it's no surprise that many other manufacturers use their panels. Of course, that does tend to mean that LG TVs can get expensive, especially if you're going for larger sizes like the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV. Luckily, a great deal from Best Buy right now is discounting this excellent 70-inch TV down to $600 from $630.

Why you should buy the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV
While the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV doesn't come with fancy panels like QLED or OLED, the panel is still absolutely gorgeous, especially for a 70-inch TV that's going for budget prices. With a sharp image and relatively great contrast, it's certainly an enjoyable experience. The TV also comes loaded with various types of HDR, such as HDR10, which is just a step below HDR10+ and HLG, the latter of which is a popular standard for sports broadcasters, which is a big plus if you love watching sports. Unfortunately, the base refresh rate of the TV is 60Hz, but that still should be enough for most consoles and mid-range gaming PCs, and there's also the benefit that the 70-inch size makes this perfect for split screen games, which we're a fan of.
