Is your special someone into tech and likes the idea of a smartwatch? There are a number of smartwatches out there, but one of our favorite Wear OS lineups is the TicWatch line from Mobvoi. And in celebration of Valentine’s Day, the company discounted all of its current TicWatch models.

The models on discount include the TicWatch S, E, C2, and Pro, and range from included accessories, to money off for the devices, and so on.

The TicWatch S is aimed at active people who want to be able to track their health and fitness and workouts. The device is capable of tracking swimming, running, and sleeping — and has helpful features like a heart rate monitor. The device is waterproof, durable, and has a GPS. The TicWatch E has some of the same features, including a two-day battery life and waterproof design — however, the E is focused more on a minimalistic look than a sports-focused design. Both the TicWatch S and TicWatch E will be discounted by 15 percent for Valentine’s Day, from 5:55 a.m. to 11:55 p.m. PT on February 8 — so you only have a few hours to take advantage of that deal.

Next up is the TicWatch Pro, which is Mobvoi’s flagship smartwatch. The device is aimed at offering fitness tracking in a stylish box, it comes with a beautiful leather strap and as many as 1,000 watch faces. The TicWatch Pro boasts up to five days of battery life, which means that it’s good for things like sleep tracking, too. The TicWatch Pro will be discounted from $250 to $200 from February 8 to 14.

Last but not least is the TicWatch C2, which is aimed at the fashion-conscious among us. The device comes in rose gold, black, or platinum, and also has a nice leather strap and customizable watch faces. It’s waterproof and allows for features like tap-to-pay. For Valentine’s Day, the device is discounted by 10 percent from February 8 to 14.

All four of the TicWatch models are decent smartwatches and worth considering if you have an Android device and watch a Wear OS smartwatch. If you have an iPhone, of course, the other option for you is the Apple Watch, though it is considerably more expensive than any of the TicWatch models.

Updated on February 6, 2019: A previous version of this article stated the TicWatch E2 and S2 were being discounted. Only the TicWatch E and S are.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far

Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
