However, some shoppers did notice have issues with the watch. One person said: "I've noticed the health tracking isn't always super accurate, and the app can be a little glitchy sometimes.

Despite this, others continued to praise the popular watch. One person said: "Perfect smartwatch without breaking the bank. Great little smartwatch. No bloatware preloaded and lots of great features.
"I've added a few pics of just some of the options. I like that it takes the standard easy to replace strap and it all feels and looks like a high quality item. Well worth the price, especially when compared to the big brand stuff."

Layoffs soar 140% as the unspoken job threat gathers steam
Layoffs have risen 140 percent from a year ago, a new report reveals. Companies have already announced more than 800,000 job cuts this year alone, the highest since the pandemic upended the economy in 2020. US-based employers cut 62,075 jobs in July compared to 25,885 in the same month last year. The damning figures represent a 29 percent leap from the month before where 47,999 people lost their livelihood, according to a report from career advice firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Some companies — such as Procter & Gamble — have been more elusive about the reasons behind mass cuts, blaming it on restructuring, 'automation and digitization.' However, Challenger, Gray & Christmas analysts found that the biggest impact on job losses this year was the relentless march of AI and the knock-on effects of Trump's tariff policies. 'AI was cited for over 10,000 cuts last month, and tariff concerns have impacted nearly 6,000 jobs this year,' report author and labor expert Andrew Challenger said. Most jobs have been cut in the tech industry, where 89,251 have been cut in the first seven months of the year. 'The industry is being reshaped by the advancement of artificial intelligence and ongoing uncertainty surrounding work visas, which have contributed to workforce reductions,' the report stated. Among the tech companies slashing the wage bill is Amazon where CEO Andy Jassy said he plans to reduce the company's corporate workforce as AI will make certain roles redundant. 'As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,' he told employees in an internal memo. The company is betting big on AI recently revealing plans to splash $100 billion on data centers that the technology depends on. It has pumped further billions into startup Anthropic, the CEO of which recently warned AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. An increasing number of Wall Street CEOs have also warned about how the rise of AI will take a sledgehammer to jobs. 'Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the US,' Ford CEO Jim Farley said earlier this month. Silicon Valley titan Intel also announced it would be cutting 25,000 roles in 2025, its second major round of job cuts in two years. Amazon boss Andy Jassy warned that AI will lead to job cuts Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley predicted the rise of AI will replace 'half of all white-collar workers' Microsoft said in July it is cutting around 4 percent of its global workforce as it ramps up investments in artificial intelligence. The tech giant will slash around 9,000 jobs across different teams, geographies and levels of experience. The AI-driven job bloodbath marks a major shift for American workers. For years, mass layoffs were concentrated in US manufacturing plants. Now, they're impacting college-educated, high-to-middle-class earners. The demographic being pummeled the hardest appears to be recent male graduates. Men aged 22 to 27 with at least a bachelor's degree are now unemployed at higher rates than the general population.

US issues exemption for self-driving Zoox vehicles, closes probe
Aug 6 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday it has certified (AMZN.O), opens new tab self-driving unit Zoox vehicles for demonstration use and closed a probe into whether they had complied with federal requirements. The U.S. auto safety agency in 2022 began a probe into whether the self-driving vehicles lacking traditional driving controls had met federal safety requirements when the company self-certified the vehicle. Zoox in June applied for an exemption from some requirements and NHTSA granted it, saying all of purpose-built vehicles manufactured by Zoox now operating on public roads in the United States are doing so pursuant to an exemption issued by the agency. The Trump administration in June said it would move faster on self-driving exemption requests to deploy up to 2,500 self-driving vehicles after prior proposals from General Motors(GM.N), opens new tab and Ford(F.N), opens new tab to deploy vehicles without steering wheels and brake pedals lingered for years and were eventually withdrawn. NHTSA's approval includes the requirement Zoox remove all existing statements that the purpose-built vehicle complies with applicable federal motor vehicle standards. In May, Zoox agreed to recall 270 driverless vehicles after an unoccupied robotaxi was involved in an April 8 crash with a passenger car in Las Vegas. The Zoox Automated Driving Systems in certain driving scenarios "may make an inaccurate prediction when another vehicle slowly approaches perpendicularly and stops. In these scenarios, the Zoox vehicle may not be able to avoid a crash." Zoox paused operations for several days pending a safety review of the incident and developed a software update to address the issue. In April, the NHTSA closed a probe into 258 Zoox vehicles over a braking issue after Zoox issued a recall to update their software. It opened the probe in May 2024 following two rear-end collisions that injured motorcyclists after the automated vehicles braked unexpectedly.
