Amazon Hasn't Pulled This Garmin Vivoactive 5 GPS Smartwatch From Prime Day Deal Yet
Today, we've found a deal that knocks a massive $110 off the amazing Garmin Vivoactive 5 smartwatch. That means it's down from $300 to just $190, and that's a fair chunk of money you're saving. This is listed as a limited-time deal on Amazon though, so we'd recommend picking it up quickly if you want it.

Smartwatches can be great for a lot of reasons. They make it way easier to check notifications on your phone, which lowers the amount of time you spend being distracted by it for unimportant things, they can help you check the time, which avoids accidental doom-scrolling, and the good fitness ones can help you stay healthy too. That's a lot of work for one device.
The Garmin line is always very good at the whole health thing, but the Vivoactive 5 takes it to whole new heights. It also has a truly breathtaking (pun intended) AMOLED screen, which is a lovely bonus if you're someone who likes looking at pretty things. It's not really the main selling point, but it's a nice bonus on top of the fitness tracking.
Along with being able to track your sleep and give you advice on how to sleep better, it also has a BodyBattery reading. BodyBattery lets you know when you're flagging, and should maybe take a nap or have a snack, and when your energy is peaking, allowing you to get better workouts in. It actually detects naps automatically too, which is good if you find yourself taking a lot of them.
On top of that, it has multiple sport modes, heart-rate monitoring, stress tracking, fitness age reports, and more. All of this is designed to give you as much information as possible, and help you stay at your best whether you're actively training or just slowly working on it.
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is an excellent smartwatch which definitely earns it's $300 price tag, so we'd recommend acting quickly to avoid missing out on this chance to get it for just $190. This deal won't last long, and this watch is very much worth it at this price and beyond.

Pump's PUMP Is Pumping Again—Can the Solana Token Keep It Up?
The crypto market continues its climb back upwards: Bitcoin and Ethereum are demonstrating resilience, with gains helping to propel the market as a whole back above $3.8 trillion. But there's one coin making a much more impressive comeback way down on the list of the top 100 by market cap: the appropriately named PUMP, the native token of the Solana meme coin launchpad While Bitcoin's modest 2% gain to above $115,000 provides stability, it appears the real action is happening in Solana's meme coin trenches. PUMP token has exploded 35% over the past week—making it the standout performer in an otherwise choppy market. What's going on? Let's zoom out: The broader crypto market recovery comes as traditional markets find their footing after President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcements sent the S&P 500 tumbling 1.6% and the Nasdaq dropping 2.24% on Friday—their worst single-day losses since May and April. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq erased those losses today. The cryptocurrency market's 6.7% decline to begin August initially looked like the start of something uglier, but Monday's recovery has bulls breathing easier. Analysts attribute the drop primarily to profit-taking by traders following a strong rally in July, with no clear signs of panic selling or systemic weakness in the market. This narrative of "healthy consolidation" rather than collapse has emboldened dip buyers, with 95% of the top 100 cryptocurrencies posting gains in the past 24 hours. Ethereum today is up nearly 3% to above $3,600, and XRP is clinging to that all-important $3.00 price point. But with no top 10 coin breaking the 3% barrier, the real fun is reserved for meme coin traders—who really needed it after the recent bloodbath they went through. PUMP price: Bulls defeat the FUD remarkable turnaround validates our prior analysis that aggressive buybacks would eventually overwhelm selling pressure and that signs point to a price recovery—or at least heavy pressure against bears. Pump's PUMP fell to as low as $0.002283 in late July, well below the ICO price of $.004 when the token launched on July 14. The company raised $600 million after selling out its ICO in just 12 seconds, and the hype propelled PUMP to above a $6 billion fully diluted value just days later. But the hype didn't last, the price of PUMP soon came tumbling down. The company turned things around for PUMP holders when it announced token buybacks at the end of July just as the token hit bottom, which it has since carried out daily. The company is taking the daily revenue generated from its launchpad and putting it back into the chart, so far buying $23 million worth of PUMP, according to its own figures. As a result, PUMP is up more than 30% in the last seven days. So what do the charts say now? The token currently trades at $0.0034 and is approaching a critical broken support near the $0.0035-$0.0040 after the weekly surge. In terms of price direction, the last few days generated respectable bullish support after the token bottomed. Prices have already broken past two resistance levels around the $0.003 and $0.032 marks, which is a good sign for day and swing traders. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, for PUMP sits at 67, approaching but not yet breaching the 70 overbought threshold. For context, RSI measures price momentum on a 0 to 100 scale. Readings above 70 typically signal overextension where profit-taking emerges while below 30 indicates oversold conditions ripe for bounces. At 67, PUMP shows strong buying pressure without triggering automatic-selling algorithms, suggesting room for PUMP's pump to grow. Traders would very likely interpret this as particularly bullish given the token's 35% weekly gain hasn't pushed the indicator into dangerous territory. The Average Directional Index, or ADX, for PUMP is at 27, which marks a very interesting development. ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction. As a general rule, numbers below 20 indicate no trend, 20-25 shows developing momentum, and above 25 confirms established directional movement until prices register 40 points or more, at which point the trend is considered to be very powerful. PUMP's ADX crossing above 25 signals the bearish correction that drove prices down 47% from May highs is either over or not strong enough to maintain the same bearish direction in case bears remain in play. The Exponential Moving Averages, or EMAs, for PUMP are also compelling. EMAs measure the average price of an asset over a set period of time. For PUMP, being such a young token, the 4-hour charts are where to look. The 50-period EMA (the average price of the last week or 50 candlesticks of 4 hours each) currently trades below the 200-period EMA (the average price of the last month, more specifically, 200 candlesticks of 4 hours each), and this is a textbook bearish formation for prices. But the narrowing gap between these averages (considering the prices are finally going up) suggests an impending "golden cross" reversal if prices keep heading in the same direction. When the faster EMA50 crosses above the slower EMA200, it historically marks the beginning of sustained uptrends. Smart money appears to be front-running this technical milestone. The coin is not there yet, but the price action can give bull traders some hope. The Squeeze Momentum Indicator shows 'off' status on the 4-hour chart, indicating volatility has already been released from recent compression. This diverges from daily timeframes showing continued squeeze, suggesting different trader cohorts are positioning for the next major move. When multiple timeframes align, explosive price action typically follows. The indicator currently points to a possible bounce from to the current support, which would not be unexpected considering the price spike. A trader might say it's a good accumulation zone for those expecting the recovery trend to remain in play for a while longer. Key Levels: Immediate support: $0.0030 (ascending trendline from July lows) Strong support: $0.0023 (July capitulation low and psychological floor) Immediate resistance: $0.003567 (current test level and prior rejection zone) Strong resistance: $0.004113 (50% retracement of entire decline, major breakout target) The views and opinions expressed by the author are for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, or other advice.

Duolingo raises 2025 revenue forecast as AI tools boost user engagement
By Akash Sriram (Reuters) -Language-learning app Duolingo raised its annual revenue forecast and beat second-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday, anticipating broader adoption of its AI-enhanced subscription tier among its global user base. The company's shares rose about 20% in trading after the bell. Duolingo operates on a freemium model, offering basic language-learning features for free while providing premium capabilities through monthly or annual paid subscriptions. The company now expects revenue for 2025 to be in the range of $1.01 billion to $1.02 billion, compared to analysts' estimates of $996.6 million. It had earlier projected revenue between $987 million and $996 million for the year. Revenue in the April-June period was $252.3 million, compared with analysts' estimates of $240.7 million. Duolingo's two subscription tiers — Super, designed for frequent learners, and Max, tailored for advanced users — include AI-driven features such as video-call conversation practice with chatbots, personalized error analysis and enhanced feedback tools. Since launching an AI-powered video-call tool for Android in January, Duolingo has expanded the feature to additional languages, aiming to boost subscription growth by enabling users to practice natural conversations across a broader linguistic range. Duolingo's gross margin benefited this quarter from lower-than-expected AI costs, as the decline in margin from expanding Max and AI features was much smaller than the company had originally expected. "The cost of calling AI tools has come down a lot. Ads also did better; ads are not a big part of our business, but it turned out that it helped margin a little bit as well," CFO Matt Skaruppa told Reuters. Duolingo leverages generative AI to create and personalize bite-sized lessons across more than 100 language courses. In April, CEO Luis von Ahn said that after taking 12 years to develop the first 100 courses, the company's AI tools helped it introduce 148 new courses in roughly one year. Duolingo expects revenue for the third quarter to be in the range of $257 million to $261 million, compared to analysts' estimates of $253 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. The firm also forecast an adjusted core profit of $288.1 million to $295.5 million for 2025. Sign in to access your portfolio

Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro Review: This security camera doubles as a smart home hub - and does both well
Resolution: 1520 x 2688Field of view: 133 degrees diagonalSize: 2.78 inches (width), 2.78 inches (height), and 3.50 inches (depth) not including standWireless: 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi model), Ethernet 802.3af (PoE model), Zigbee, Thread, BluetoothWorks with: Apple HomeKit (including HomeKit Secure Video), Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, RTSP The smart home has gotten a whole lot smarter and easier to use over the past few years, especially with the advent of standards like Matter and Thread. But with the new standards comes the need for new hardware that ties everything together – and the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro does just that. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro, of course, can't skirt by on just being a smart home hub. As a home security camera, it also has to capture crisp and detailed footage. Is the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro really the complete package or does it make compromises? The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro comes at $199.99 for the power-over-ethernet (PoE) model, or for $179.99 for the Wi-Fi model. It comes in white or gray, and it's available straight from the Aqara website, or through Amazon. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro has a ton of smart tech built into it, and as such, you wouldn't expect it to necessarily be ultra-compact. That said, while it's definitely larger than some smart home security cameras, such as the ultra-compact Wyze Cam v4, it isn't overly bulky and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. The camera has a white body with a black front that houses the camera sensor and the built-in spotlight. It can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted using hardware included in the box, or simply placed on a table and angled properly using the stand built onto the bottom of the camera. The back of the device can be removed to reveal a reset button and 1/4" screw hole for mounting. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro actually comes in two different models, one that's powered by USB-C and connects over Wi-Fi, and one that supports power over Ethernet. We're reviewing the Wi-Fi model, and it has a USB-C port on the bottom, towards the back. The camera is weather-proof too, supporting an operating temperature of between -22°F and 122°F and a water resistance rating of IP65. Essentially, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it more versatile than some others – though keep in mind that it requires power to function, so you'll need to run a cable of some kind to it, whether it be the USB-C cable for the Wi-Fi model, or the ethernet cable for the PoE model. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro may not have a 4K resolution like some modern security cameras, but it still captures a detailed and crisp image with relatively natural colors. The camera can capture video at a resolution of 1520 x 2688, with a 133-degree diagonal field-of-view. That isn't as wide as the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera, which has a 160-degree field-of-view, but it should suffice for indoor use. If you need the camera to capture a wide area, you might need to look elsewhere. I was, however, particularly impressed with the camera's dynamic range. I mostly used it indoors in my living room, which has a few windows. Other cameras, like the Eufy Cam 2C Pro that I reviewed, usually completely blow out the highlights, essentially making my windows look like big white squares. The Camera Hub G5 Pro was at least able to capture some of the detail outside of the windows. The G5 Pro has a spotlight built into it for color night vision recording. Thankfully, the spotlight is relatively powerful, which is important, as the camera doesn't support black and white infrared-based night vision at all. In other words, if you want to capture what's happening in low light, you'll have to rely on the spotlight. That will immediately disqualify this camera for users who don't want the bright spotlight to light up in any low light setting. Aqara also doesn't make it very easy to set the camera to only turn the spotlight on when motion is detected – for that, you'll have to create an automation. You should be able to do so through a simple toggle. Thankfully, it did seem to be relatively responsive to motion, initiating recording quickly after movement to ensure as much footage as possible was captured. Even smaller movements from my cat triggered recording, which isn't always the case with security cameras. Part of this is likely thanks to the camera's support for continuous recording – it's possible it detects motion, and then labels 'events' as starting a few seconds before it actually detected the motion. Regardless of how it works, it works well. The audio quality was good too. The speaker built into the camera played my voice relatively loudly, and made it easy to hear anything I said. And, the microphone picked up voices well too, playing clearly through my phone's speaker. Audio quality is often overlooked, but that wasn't the case here. The camera is packed with smart object recognition and recording features, with the ability to detect all different kinds of objects and use that information to inform notifications. It has facial recognition, vehicle recognition, package detection, animal detection, and even lens obstruction detection to ensure you're notified if the camera's view is being blocked. Additionally, there are audio-based notifications too. It sent me a notification that there was a baby crying when it heard my one-year-old (as if her crying while I was holding her wasn't notification enough), even when the crying was downstairs, in a bedroom, with the camera upstairs in the living room. All of these object- and audio-recognition tools seemed to be accurate. They were easy to set up too. Enabling the package detection feature involves setting an area for detection, however it was easy to select that area on a grid, and when enabled, it worked very quickly. I enabled package detection despite the camera being mainly used in my living room, and got a notification of a package within three seconds of placing a box in the pre-set package motion zone. Even better is the fact that these features are processed locally, on-device – so you don't have to pay a subscription fee to access them. That's pretty handy. The Aqara app has gotten quite a bit better over the years. It's relatively easy to navigate now, especially as it relates to the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro. The home screen of the app shows an overview of all your connected devices, and you can customize this screen to show a player with a live feed of footage. Tapping on the camera will allow you to see a live feed of the camera and control any top-line settings, all from one screen. Within that view, you'll get a tab at the bottom to view a timeline of recordings, and you can tap the three-dot menu button on the top right to access additional settings and features. Other features include those you would expect, including the ability to set zones and sensitivity. Unfortunately, you have to set motion zones for each detection type – be it vehicle detection, package detection, and so on. While this is a neat idea for those who want to set different zones for different object types, you should be able to set global motion zones too. Despite the fact that the camera offers a huge range of features and settings, they're organized well, and most shouldn't find it too hard to access the settings they're trying to tweak. That said, I do recommend going over all the settings when you first set the camera up, to ensure that it's set up in the exact way that you want it to work. My biggest complaint with the app, however, is how it handles recorded footage. Tapping on the timeline tab will show you a timeline of events, and you can view footage from those events from the app. Unfortunately, however, it's difficult to download those recordings to your phone. Instead, you have to hit the 'Record' button and watch the footage in real-time – after which the app will download what you 'recorded' to your device. Considering the fact that footage was already recorded, I'm not sure why that's necessary. While the image quality offered by the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is good, image quality is only one piece of the promise of this particular product. The other, of course, is smart home compatibility. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro can function as a Matter controller, meaning that it can be one of the devices that communicates with other Matter products in your smart home. Not only that, but it also works as a Thread border router. This means that it can communicate with Thread-based devices in your home to help build a thread mesh network for a smart home that's as responsive as possible. Matter can work over a number of standards, including Wi-Fi and Thread, but if all the devices in your smart home support Thread, they can all exist as part of a mesh network. And, on top of Matter and Thread, the G5 Pro can function as a Zigbee hub. What does it mean for the G5 Pro to be a 'hub' for all of these standards? Well, for example, your phone can't connect with Zigbee devices on its own – it has to communicate with a hub, which then sends commands to Zigbee devices. As a hub for these standards, all of the Matter, Thread, and Zigbee devices in your home can connect to the G5 Pro, allowing you to control them from the Aqara app, even when you're not at home. And, as a Matter hub, you can scan that Matter code on the G5 Pro to bring all of the Zigbee devices connected to the G5 Pro into other Matter ecosystems, like Apple Home. You might already have Matter hubs and Thread border routers in your home – but what the G5 Pro offers is the ability for one to be placed outdoors. The camera can be used both indoors and outdoors, but if you use it outdoors, it'll provide a more reliable and more stable connection point for any other nearby Matter, Thread, or Zigbee devices. As a hub for all of these standards, you'll be able to add your smart home devices through the Aqara app, controlling them all within one interface. Now, however, things might start to get a little more confusing. In the Matter standard, you have Matter controllers, and Matter devices. Matter controllers serve as the connection point between you and your Matter devices – but the Matter spec doesn't actually support security cameras yet. In other words, while you can use the G5 Pro as a Matter hub, you can't connect its camera as a Matter device within your existing smart home. That's why Aqara touts the G5 Pro as supporting Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and so on – without those individual connections, you wouldn't simply be able to add the camera to your smart home. On top of basic HomeKit support, the G5 Pro also supports HomeKit Secure Video. Apple HomeKit only supports a video resolution of up to 1080p, which is a little frustrating in 2025. That said, even when the camera is connected to HomeKit Secure Video, you can still record and view 1520p footage in the Aqara app. That's unlike some other HomeKit-compatible cameras – when the Eufy 2C Pro is connected to HomeKit Secure Video, it only records 1080p footage, despite being a 2K camera that can record in 2K when it's not connected to HomeKit. Lastly, the Camera Hub G5 Pro supports Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). That means you can use it as a simple IP camera, streaming to smart home clients like Home Assistant. The basic gist of smart home compatibility with the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is that it supports all major smart home ecosystems and can serve as the central brain of your smart home if you want it to. If you want to use it with another ecosystem, however, you'll still want to use the Aqara app to set the camera up and tweak advanced settings. Unlike many other modern security cameras, the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro offers a number of ways for you to store footage. For starters, it has either 8GB or 32GB of storage built right into it, and when it runs out of storage, it'll overwrite the oldest footage first. On top of that, it also supports Network Attached Storage, or NAS, for expanded storage. And, with its HomeKit Secure Video support, you can store recorded footage in your iCloud account – though keep in mind that HomeKit footage is stored in 1080p. Of course, Aqara has its own cloud storage service too, though you don't have to subscribe to get some cloud features. Without a subscription, you'll still be able to store a day of footage at a 360p resolution, though that's obviously relatively low. If you upgrade to the Aqara HomeGuardian service, you'll get 90 days of video history at up to a 2K resolution, along with additional features like continuous recording, daily snapshots, and notifications over SMS or email. For one camera, the service costs $6.99 per month or $83.88 per year – however, at the time of this writing, you could get it discounted at a rate of $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. For unlimited cameras, you'll pay $14.99 per month or $179.88 per year – however, again I saw a discount that brought it down to $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. If you're not sure if you want to use the service, Aqara offers a 14-day free trial, which is a solid amount of time to try out the service. A 7-day trial is common, so it's nice to see the ability to get a longer trial. Few security cameras are as versatile as the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro. I have no major complaints with the camera; sure, it's difficult to save recorded footage, but you can get around that, and it could be fixed with a software update down the line. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is much more versatile than almost anything else on the market, doing away with the idea of supporting one ecosystem really well or mainly prioritizing first-party features, in favor of supporting all ecosystems as well as possible, with the flexibility of local storage and the ability to serve as a Matter bridge and Thread border router.
