My Favorite Smartwatch Isn't the Latest Model, but It Does Everything I Need
My phone pings constantly from where it's plugged in across the room. But I've got my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 on my wrist, so I can check to see who's pinging me, which app the notifications are from and whether it's important enough to merit my standing up and walking the dozen or so steps to unplug my phone and look, or just respond on my smartwatch (or swipe the notification away). Smartwatches are becoming an essential tech item, but most people don't need the latest and greatest version to get what they need. One of the best ways to get some solid technology without spending a ton of money is to choose a previous version of a current device. (This is also a good way to pick up a thoughtful tech gift without spending too much on it.) So if you're searching for a cool gift for someone (or yourself), might I suggest my favorite smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4? Why I love the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Sure, it's not the latest model of the Samsung Watch. That would be the Galaxy Watch 7 or Galaxy Watch Ultra. But it still has all the main features, including ECG, blood pressure monitoring, sleep monitoring, Google integration for most things and Samsung Health. I'm not a fitness fanatic, so I don't need all the latest tracking features or even the improved battery life and bigger screen size of the Watch 7, which has a list price of $300, but is going for as low as $200 right now if you want the upgrade. The Galaxy Watch 4 has the fitness tracking I need without being overly complex. (Though it has advanced workout tracking for six modes including running, rowing and swimming, if you like those auto-detected tracking features.) For everyday use, I can check my notifications and respond, take hands-free calls, track sleep and skip between songs when listening in Spotify. Oh, and check the time. If you're looking for a wearable, it's the one I'd recommend checking out before looking into the latest version of the Galaxy Watch series. One caveat: Some people have complained lately that their battery is depleting quickly. Samsung has advice on how to run a diagnostic on your watch and fix the issue. Why the Galaxy Watch 4 makes a good purchase The Galaxy Watch 4 probably isn't right for a hard-core tech enthusiast or for anyone locked into the Apple ecosystem. However, it's perfect for anyone who wants a smartwatch and doesn't care about getting all the bells and whistles, or for someone who doesn't know what they want in a smartwatch. For more, here are our other favorite smartwatches and our roundup of the best deals on the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Supplier expects to benefit from $16.5B Tesla, Samsung AI chip deal
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Tesla's $16.5 billion AI chip deal with Samsung, announced by CEO Elon Musk on his social media platform X, is set to provide a major boost to U.S. semiconductor manufacturing as well as benefit an emerging field of domestic suppliers including Graphjet Technology, the company announced Monday. Graphjet, a producer of graphene and graphite, said Tesla's announcement was timely with its plan to build a production plant in Nevada. 'As a producer of graphite and graphene, Graphjet stands to benefit from the expansion of the AI chip production as graphite and graphene plays a crucial role in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in processes requiring high temperature and precise control,' CEO Chris Lai said in a statement. Dive Insight: Graphjet's planned facility in Nevada will convert 30,000 metric tons of agricultural waste into 10,000 metric tons of graphite annually, enough material to power more than 100,000 electric vehicles. The company patented technology to recycle palm kernel shells generated during the production of palm oil to produce single layer graphene and artificial graphite, according to its press release. Tesla's eight-year agreement with Samsung ensures a pipeline of next-generation A16 chips, which will be produced at the technology firm's new fabrication plant in Taylor, Texas. The new chips have assorted applications including use in autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots and AI data centers, according to Graphjet. Despite slowing demand for electric vehicles, the need for high-tech components including semiconductors, batteries and critical minerals, continue to rise. Many massive manufacturing building projects are already underway to develop a domestic supply chain. In December, the Department of Commerce finalized Samsung's $4.75 billion award funded through the CHIPS and Science Act to boost domestic manufacturing. It followed the previously signed preliminary memorandum of terms announced on April 15, 2024. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. announced plans in March announced to invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S. on top of the $65 billion it already was spending on three chip plants it was constructing in Arizona. Nvidia in April said it would invest $500 billion to manufacture AI chips in Arizona and Texas. These domestic semiconductor projects will mean potential business for Graphjet. Lai said his company has already started generating revenue and has experienced increasing interest in its products. 'The growth in the semiconductor industry will accelerate the growth of our company,' Lai said. Graphjet was founded in 2019 in Malaysia. The company aims to begin production in Nevada by 2026.
