Act fast! Huawei Watch 5 launch deal slashes £50 off the price and throws in a free strap
Huawei's latest flagship smartwatch is here to do battle with the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Google Pixel Watch 3. And thanks to a launch deal from the Chinese brand itself, you can currently grab the wearable with a bit of a discount.
Right now, you can pick up the Huawei Watch 5 with £50 off its £399 launch price with the addition of a coupon on Huawei's UK site. And, as a nice little sweetener, the brand is also throwing in an extra free strap as part of the deal.
The Huawei Watch 5 is the Chinese brand's latest flagship with 46mm or 45mm sizings and respective 1.38 and 1.5-inch AMOLED displays. The casing comes in a choice of stainless steel or titanium and up to 4.5 days of battery life. The innovative X-TAP sensor on the side of the case delivers heart rate and SpO2 monitoring and the watch can be fitted with an eSIM for cellular connectivity. This deal knocks £50 off with the addition of a coupon until June 29, 2025
The Huawei Watch 5 could probably fool you into thinking it's not a smartwatch, but a regular analogue timepiece from the days of old. In an age when wearables are leaning increasingly into sporty and rugged aesthetics, the Chinese brand's latest device has a classic and premium design language.
That's largely thanks to the circular case coming in a choice of stainless steel or titanium and you can get it in either 46mm or 45mm sizing. The LTPO display is secured behind sapphire glass and boasts an impressive 80% screen-to-body ratio.
Huawei's ace-in-the-hole for the Watch 5 is the device's "X-Tap" sensor located on the side of the watch. Placing your finger on it delivers an SpO2 reading in under 10 seconds while the One-Tap Health Glance feature checks over 11 different health metrics (including heart rate variability and skin temperature) in under a minute.
Even if you don't plan to use it for sports, there's over 100 sport modes included on the watch and thanks to eSIM support, you can load up hiking or running maps without having to bring your phone with you.
This deal makes the device even cheaper for a limited time, and Huawei is also throwing in that aforementioned free strap and five free premium watch faces that would normally cost a total of £24.
The Huawei Watch 5 works with both Android and iOS but for those already using a Huawei phone, it's a nice upgrade that's going to be £50 cheaper until June 29 when this offer ends.

The Trump administration is delaying a 25% tariff on Chinese-made graphics cards
Graphics cards and motherboards assembled in China are avoiding President Donald Trump's import taxes, for now. In a three-page notice published Saturday in the Federal Register, the Office of the Trade Representative said it was 'appropriate' to extend a moratorium that won't subject vendors of electronics equipment to tariffs on graphics cards and graphics processing units. The measure stems from a long-running Section 301 investigation into Chinese economic policies and whether they are harming American companies. That federal probe started under the first Trump administration, and it would apply a 25% tariff if officials conclude that Chinese companies had an unfair advantage. The 25% tariff has been inactive due to a string of reprieves from both the Biden and Trump administrations. China remains the world's largest electronics manufacturer, according to the International Trade Centre; the nation is still subject to a minimum 30% import tax by the Trump administration, barring some exemptions. Major tech companies including Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) were spared the brunt of Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs in April. A federal court battle is now brewing over the fate of those tariffs. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

This CEO was paid $165M last year — and it wasn't Cook, Zuckerberg or Musk
The CEO of the company that makes stun guns raked in $165 million last year — dwarfing the payouts handed out to the better-known bosses of Apple, Meta, Nvidia and all other executives in the S&P 500. Rick Smith — co-founder Axon Enterprises, whose Tasers and body cameras are used by police forces across the country — was the only executive to receive a pay package that eclipsed $100 million, according to The Wall Street Journal's annual analysis. General Electric's Larry Culp trailed behind at $89 million, followed by Blackstone's Steve Schwarzman ($84 million) and Apple's Tim Cook ($75 million). 4 Axon Enterprises CEO Rick Smith poses with the company's Taser stun gun mounted to a rifle. Getty Images Smith's windfall from the publicly traded company was granted under a new program open to all Axon employees that allows them to convert some or all of their pay over seven years into restricted shares, he told the Journal. 'One of the things I love about the design is I can make zero — I feel better about making a lot if I can also make zero,' Smith said. 'For me it creates that startup kind of vibe.' His 2024 payout was a steep jump from the $40,000 he earned the year before, according to the Journal. But shares in Axon surged more than 170% over the past 12 months, trading at $758 after Monday's closing bell. Half of the executives in the analysis made $17.1 million or more last year – up from $15.8 million the year before, according to the MyLogIQ data. Netflix's co-CEOs Theodore Sarandos and Greg Peters took the No. 8 and 10 spots at $62 million and $60 million, respectively. Other notables included Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff ($55 million), Nvidia boss Jensen Huang ($50 million), Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi ($39 million), JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon ($38 million) and Meta leader Mark Zuckerberg ($27 million). Tesla's Elon Musk – the richest person in the world – was last on the list at $0, as his most recent pay package remains ensnared in court battles. 4 Apple CEO Tim Cook participates in an American Workforce Policy Advisory Board meeting with President Trump.

Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Journal report uses data from MyLogIQ and includes CEOs on the job for at least a year across more than 400 of the S&P 500 companies. Most of Smith's high-dollar compensation package came from a stock award, not annual salary, as is common for S&P 500 CEOs. Smith, who has led the company since 1993, received $246 million in compensation in 2019. He has an estimated net worth of $2.4 billion, according to Forbes. 4 Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman attends a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. REUTERS Several executives outside the S&P 500 also breached the $100 million line, including Peter Gassner of cloud-computing company Veeva Systems at $172 million and Shopify's Tobias Lutke at $150 million. But last year marked the smallest number of CEOs making nine figures since 2016, according to the Journal.

Retailer Temu's daily US users halve following end of 'de minimis' loophole
By Casey Hall, Arriana McLymore SHANGHAI/NEW YORK (Reuters) -Daily U.S. users of PDD Holdings' global discount e-commerce platform Temu fell by 58% in May, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, one of many headwinds the e-retailer is facing amid a U.S.-China trade war. Temu decided to slash ad spending in the U.S. and shift its order fulfilment strategy after the White House on May 2 ended the practice known as "de minimis" - which allowed Chinese companies to ship low-value packages to the United States tariff-free. Temu, along with fast-fashion giant Shein, had utilised that provision for years to drop-ship items directly from suppliers in China to consumers in the U.S., keeping prices low. Both Temu and Shein have suffered a sharp drop in sales growth and customer growth rates since U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping trade tariffs, according to data collected by consultancy Bain & Company, but Temu's trends have been worse than its rival. Tariffs forced both platforms to raise prices, but Shein has been able to increase the amount of money spent per customer compared to a year ago, the data showed, while Temu has struggled. Temu did not respond to a request for comment on the drop in U.S. daily users or the headwinds it faces in the U.S. market. Engagement on Temu has dropped significantly following the end of the exemption, Morgan Stanley equity analyst Simeon Gutman said in a May note. "While the tariff environment is uncertain, if the status quo remains for an extended period, we believe Temu's competitive threat will continue to weaken," Gutman said. Last week, PDD's first quarter earnings fell short of growth estimates and executives told analysts on a post-earnings call that tariffs had created significant pressure for its merchants. They reiterated Temu's earlier pledge to keep prices stable and work with merchants across regions, referring to a shift to a local fulfilment model announced at the start of May. Temu's previous business model gave merchants responsibility for ordering and supplying their products while the China-based company managed most of the logistics, pricing and marketing. Now, Temu's merchants "can ship individual orders from China to Temu-partnered U.S. warehouses but they would need to address tariffs and customs charges and paper work," according to a note from analysts at HSBC. Temu continues to handle fulfilling orders close to shoppers, setting prices and online operations. In last week's note, HSBC said that Temu's growth in non-U.S. markets has picked up, with non-U.S. users rising to 90% of its 405 million global monthly active users in the second quarter. "New user uptick grew swiftest in less affluent markets," analysts wrote.
