Pick up a Samsung SmartTag 2 tracker for only $16 right now
Luckily, right now the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 is down to a record-low price. Our pick as the best Bluetooth tracker for Samsung devices is down to $16 from $30 — a 48 percent discount. The only catch is that just the white model has such a steep markdown. If you want to pick up a bunch of trackers then check out the four-pack option, on sale for $78, down from $100.
The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 is a solid purchase due to features like being IP67-rated water- and dust-resistant, a sizeable keychain hoop and over 16 months of battery life. It also emits a ring louder than competitors like the AirTag or Tile. The only snag is that you must have a Samsung device in order to use it.

You can save $30 on the OnePlus Watch 3, a great Galaxy Watch 8 alternative
OnePlus has kicked off its back-to-school sale, and the deals are pretty solid. There are discounts on the company's impressive tablets, but the highlights are the new low prices on its smartwatches. Right now, you can buy the 43mm OnePlus Watch 3 for $269.99 ($30 off), while the 46mm is $319.99 ($30 off). Even the OnePlus Watch 2 is cheaper than it's ever been at $199.99 ($100 off). Students get an additional 10 percent off, making these deals even sweeter. We've recommended the OnePlus Watch 2 as a great alternative to Google and Samsung smartwatches since its debut, and the Watch 3 builds upon it with small, but meaningful upgrades. It retains everything we loved in its predecessor, like dual-frequency GPS and long battery life, but now adds Google Gemini, a rotating crown that scrolls, and video watch faces. The company also added its 60S Health Check-In, which provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, mental wellness, wrist temperature, sleep quality, and vascular age (with European users also getting EKGs) with a click of a button. The OnePlus Watch 3 comes in two sizes: a new 43mm model introduced in July, and a 46mm version released back in April. Both are similar in terms of specs, but the 43mm model skips the 46mm's temperature sensor that was used for reproductive cycle tracking and fall detection. The 46mm wearable also boasts a larger, brighter 2,200-nit OLED display, which is double the brightness of the 43mm version (1000 nits). The OnePlus Watch 3 builds upon the OnePlus Watch 2 with a new 43mm size and rotating crown bezel. The 43mm adds reproductive cycle tracking and fall detection as well, while the 46mm adds a wrist temperature sensor.

The Pixel Watch 4 won't win me over unless Google changes this
I love the Google Pixel Watches. The Pixel Watch is the only flagship smartwatch that still features a traditional round watch design, while both Apple and now even Samsung have shifted to square or squircle designs. Yet, it keeps the best parts of the smartwatch experience with a clean Wear OS interface and deep Fitbit integration for fitness tracking. As much as I enjoyed using the Pixel Watch 3, there has always been one issue with Pixel smartwatches that keeps me from using them long-term. I eventually ended up switching to something else. Until Google addresses that with the upcoming Pixel Watch 4, I'm not ready to fully commit to the next generation just yet. Battery life is still the Pixel Watch's weakest link A smartwatch shouldn't give me battery anxiety daily Similar to its Pixel smartphones, Google has kept a simple formula with its Pixel smartwatches. The Pixel Watch offers a stock Wear OS experience, works with all Android smartphones (not just Pixels), and comes with a minimal design that doesn't look loud or overly industrial. While I appreciate Google's thoughtful additions on top of the core experience — like loss of pulse detection on the Pixel Watch 3 — battery life remains the key area where all the Pixel Watch models have fallen behind the competitors. Over the past year, I've used the 45mm version of the Pixel Watch 3, albeit sporadically — using it for a week, then putting it aside. But not once have I made it through a full day with enough battery left to extend usage into the next. I always need to charge it overnight just to ensure it's fully powered for the next day and avoid battery anxiety. While I really enjoy the Pixel Watch's software experience, battery life is a big reason I keep switching to other wearables. Most recently, I moved to the Whoop MG, which offers far longer battery life on a single charge. Also, with the Pixel Watch lasting only about a day, sleep tracking becomes almost useless, since I'm never sure I'll have time to charge it before heading out the next morning. This is well behind what other Pixel Watch competitors offer. Devices like the OnePlus Watch 3 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 can easily provide two days of battery on a single charge. Yes, Google has improved fast charging on recent Pixel Watch models, but it doesn't fully make up for the poor battery experience users are still facing. And it's not just me. There are plenty of people on social media and forums like Reddit who have shown concerns about the Pixel Watch's battery life. It's high time Google made serious changes, whether that's by integrating a Wear OS + RTOS hybrid model like the OnePlus or implementing deeper optimizations and hardware upgrades in future models. The Pixel Watch 4 seems to be on the right track But I'm not committing until I see real-world results Thankfully, it seems Google has taken user feedback from the past three generations seriously. Both the 41mm and 45mm models of the Pixel Watch 4 are rumored to ship with larger batteries than their predecessors. While not dramatically bigger, the 41mm model is expected to feature a 327mAh battery (up from 307mAh), and the 45mm model may come with a 459mAh battery (up from 420mAh). If these rumors are accurate, the Pixel Watch 4 should see improved battery life compared to the Pixel Watch 3. In addition to the larger batteries, the Pixel Watch 4 is also rumored to support 25% faster charging than the previous generation, which could help offset some of the battery limitations. There are also claims that Google may introduce a new side-mounted charging mechanism that would allow the Pixel Watch 4 to double as a mini bedside clock while charging. However, these are still unofficial details. The Pixel Watch 4 is a few weeks away from launch, and it's also expected to ship with the same Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset as the Pixel Watch 3. This means performance may remain largely the same, though the larger battery should help deliver a slightly better experience. I'll be waiting to see whether Google actually pulls it off. Aside from battery upgrades, one of the biggest reasons I'm looking forward to the Pixel Watch 4 is the debut of Wear OS 6, which will bring Google's new Material 3 Expressive design language to the smartwatch interface. The Pixel Watch 4 is also rumored to introduce an all-new strength training experience, something I found lacking in the Pixel Watch 3. Google can't keep ignoring Pixel Watch's battery life this long Aside from battery life, there are other concerns with the Pixel Watch that Google should address, such as a more durable cover display and better Fitbit integration within the smartwatch. Still, if Google can deliver on battery life, I might just end up buying the Pixel Watch 4.
