Plus, they're no longer just about function. With sleek designs and stylish bands, today's smartwatches double as a fashionable accessory you'll actually want to wear every day.

Best Afterpay Day sales: Best Picks share the discounted items they are snapping up
The August Afterpay Day sales are officially live, and they are overflowing with epic deals, huge discounts and even brand-new products at can't-miss prices. As your go-to shopping pros, we've spent hours scouring hundreds of sites to uncover the best bargains that are actually worth adding to your cart. With major brands like Dyson, Samsung, and The Iconic slashing prices, we've already bookmarked (and bought) a few things ourselves. From best-selling TVs to cult-favourite hair tools, there are plenty of big brands and bargains worth our hard earned cash this August. Here's every single product the Best Picks team are shopping in the four-day Afterpay Day Frenzy. Samsung 65inch Neo GLED 4K AI Smart TV, was $1899 now $1499 Holly, Deputy Editor 'Sale time is the perfect opportunity to finally hit 'purchase' on big ticket items. 'While I'm officially off the market for furniture or white goods, the final splurge on my wishlist is a TV — and when it comes to quality and high-tech specs, nothing beats Samsung. 'Among the hundreds of discounted products on the website is the Neo QLED AI Smart TV, a newly-launched model with all the bells and whistles. 'Think crystal clear display, fast processor and an incredibly slim design, for $400 off the usual retail price, you best bet I'm snapping it up this Afterpay Day.' Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer, was $849 now $599 Holly, Deputy Editor 'Confession: I already own the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x, but when I saw its predecessor marked down by $250, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to grab one for my mum in the sale. 'The ultimate lazy girl hack to transform strands from air dried to styled in a matter of minutes, the Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer delivers Dyson's signature styling power without the extreme heat. 'Think bouncy curls and frizz-free finishes, it's super intuitive to use, which makes it ideal for someone who doesn't want to spend hours wrestling with hair tools. 'My mum will love how easy it is to achieve salon-quality results at home.' KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer KSM192 was $799, now $599 Ariana, Senior Commercial Writer 'I've always told myself that one day, I'd own a KitchenAid. 'Not a 'just for now' mixer, not something that rattles across the counter when you turn it on, but the real deal, the kind you see in glossy magazine spreads and baking Martha Stewart cooking shows. 'The KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer has been on my dream kitchen wish list for years, and this year's Afterpay Day sale finally gave me the nudge I needed. ' Down from $799 to $599, it's the kind of price drop that makes you feel both thrifty and slightly smug. 'Part of my reasoning is pure practicality: I want to get more into baking. For years I've dabbled, a banana bread here, a sponge cake there, but with Friendsgiving and Christmas creeping closer, the idea of turning out perfectly mixed pumpkin bread, pillowy bread, and maybe even a pie crust or two is very appealing. 'The Artisan model has a powerful motor, a tilt-head design that makes it easy to add ingredients, and a reputation for lasting practically forever if you treat it well. 'But it's also about the fantasy. There's something about having a KitchenAid on the counter, in that soft, pastel enamel or sleek stainless, that just makes you feel like you've levelled up in life. And frankly, I'm ready for my baking era.' Aje Genesis Denim Trench was $599, now $449.25 Ariana, Senior Commercial Writer 'I first spotted the Aje Genesis Denim Trench at Fashion Week earlier this year, and it's been living rent-free in my mind ever since. You know that rare moment when a piece of clothing just clicks — when you instantly know it's going to be a forever item in your wardrobe? 'That was me, standing there, shamelessly running my hand over the fabric while trying not to look too obsessed. 'It's the perfect staple for that effortless, just-threw-it-on look, yet structured enough to feel polished. The double-breasted style, lapel and collar give it classic trench energy, while the gold sheen buttons add a little drama without screaming for attention. 'And honestly, it just feels luxurious when I wear it. The denim is 100 per cent cotton, so it's sturdy but soft, and I love that it has all those thoughtful details — raglan sleeves with tabbed cuffs, a removable tie belt, and even a leather logo patch at the back for a subtle designer touch. 'Right now, it's 25 per cent off, down from $599 to $449.25, with free shipping at checkout. For a coat that I know I'll wear year after year — with boots in winter, flats in spring, even over an evening dress — it feels like the perfect time to finally make it mine.' Aere Anders Suede Look Jacket and Mini Skirt, was $150 and $120, now $105 and $84 Sophie, Editor 'Confession. Despite being the shopping editor of Best Picks, I'm actually on a self-enforced shopping ban. 'With a full-house renovation happening this year, every single little bit of cash is being pumped towards floors, windows and household appliances. 'But there is just one little 'me' thing that might be too hard to resist this Afterpay Day. 'I've had my eye on this cute set from Aere at The Iconic since I saw Bec Judd wearing it on Instagram, and I think now with more than $50 off, it's the perfect time to snap it up. 'With warmer weather (hopefully) on the way, I think the suede-look outfit is perfect for office days, weekend excursions — and it will look as good with knee-length boots as it will with sneakers. ' Brb: hitting add to cart.' Temple & Webster Sadie Mango Wood Console Table, was $1,199.95, now $849 Sophie, Editor 'At this stage in the renovation, Temple & Webster is practically my personality. 'On my shopping list right now? A stylish wooden console table to keep in the hall for a few carefully-curated decorations. 'I love this Sadie Mango Table by Temple & Webster for its textured finish and hand-crafted look. 'I also love that it's currently got more than $300 off the RRP. 'I plan to put this close to the front door with a mirror above it and a small gallery wall close by near the stairs.'

It boasts a titanium body, sapphire glass display and water resistance, making it tough enough to handle extreme adventures. Its dual-frequency GPS ensures pinpoint location accuracy, while the built-in emergency siren and action button give added safety and functionality when out in the elements.

Fitness fanatics will love the multi-sport tracking modes that cover everything from road running to ocean swimming, along with intuitive sleep monitoring for better rest. Pair it with the Samsung Health app and you unlock even more data tools, from logging calories burned to tracking caffeine intake, perfect for anyone serious about their health. And if you're wondering whether it can keep up with Dad's lifestyle, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has been tested against extreme temperatures ranging from minus 20 to 49 degrees Celsius. It's also been built to military-grade durability standards, so whether he's on the sand, summit, or simply chasing the kids around the park, it won't skip a beat. While it's designed to handle almost anything, Samsung still recommends keeping it to general wellness and fitness purposes — it's not intended for diagnosing or treating medical conditions.
