Smartwatches are all the rage, and aside from them looking trendy, they have a ton of benefits. They can enable you to check your texts and calls without needing to reach for your phone, which is why they've become incredibly popular since their inception.
One of the most popular smartwatch models is the Apple Watch, which is fairly expensive compared to other models. If you're working with a tighter budget, Walmart shoppers claim that the Tikland Smart Watch is the "best value smartwatch" on the market. It's currently on sale for just $23 — but only for a limited time.
This smartwatch has a nearly 2-inch big screen measuring from corner to corner, and it's both iPhone and Android compatible. You're able to customize it with over 250 different frontscreen designs, and it's available in three color options. You can pick it up in black, pink, or a pink version that includes rose gold accents. Each version has the same-sized watch face and a silicone strap that's adjustable by using its buckle feature.
The touchscreen face has a built-in HD speakerphone and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. This enables you to check texts and notifications on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, and other apps, plus answer phone calls. It's also able to track your fitness levels, which is perfect if you have health goals you're aiming to reach.Though shoppers admitted that this smartwatch isn't able to download as many "apps" as different models, they were "pleasantly surprised" by its quality. It's reportedly "easy to use" and feels "very comfortable" on the wrist. One reviewer even said that it gets "mistaken for an Apple Watch" thanks to its "sleek" design.
If you're shopping for a "beautiful" smartwatch that's affordable and efficient, Walmart reviewers say picking up the Tikland Smart Watch "is a seriously great value." If you've been considering buying a smartwatch for a while but aren't sure if it's right for you, this is the perfect model to try.

Analyst sends message on Nvidia stock after private dinner with CFO
Making a tech company successful isn't easy. Keeping it successful is even more difficult. A company that launches a successful product in huge demand can easily become complacent, giving competitors an opportunity to enter its space. Don't believe me? Just think of Nokia and BlackBerry's reactions to the launch of the iPhone. Great companies don't allow the competition to out-innovate; so far, that's been true of Nvidia. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has shown an uncanny knack for knowing when it's time to pivot or innovate, such as recognizing that the key to its success wasn't simply fast semiconductor chips, but software too. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter For instance, early on in the video gaming era of the company, it was all about graphics card drivers. Nvidia's release of the CUDA software development kit in 2007 sparked a significant shift by enabling general-purpose parallel programming on GPUs. In layman's terms, CUDA made it possible to write applications that can "crunch the numbers" on many GPU cores, making calculations much faster than on the CPU. This technology enabled Nvidia to capture the market quickly, and due to CUDA's proprietary nature, switching to competing products was difficult. Its success in super-fast chips and software eventually allowed it to exploit the crypto boom successfully, as crypto miners flocked to its solution to mine digital currencies more efficiently. More recently, that advantage has also allowed it to profit handsomely from the boom in artificial intelligence - after all, CUDA supports neural networks. Of course, it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Nvidia, including this year. The company is under pressure because of export restrictions on selling its AI chips in China. Nvidia released its earnings for Q1 fiscal 2026 on May 28, and while they reported revenue of $44.1 billion, with an impressive yearly growth of 69%, the release also contained a note that worried some investors. The U.S. government announced it would require a license to export Nvidia's H20 chip to China, making Nvidia unable to ship an additional $2.5 billion worth of H20 products during Q1. Related: Surprising guidance sends CrowdStrike stock reeling Those restrictions are expected to weigh down Nvidia's results in Q2. Still, management's fiscal second quarter outlook remains impressive: Revenue is expected to be $45.0 billion, plus or minus 2%.GAAP gross margins are expected to be 71.8%, plus or minus 50 basis points. Following the earnings report, Nvidia and Dell announced they are building a supercomputer for NERSC, a U.S. Department of Energy user facility at Berkeley Lab. Investing expert James "Rev Shark" DePorre, recently wrote on TheStreet Pro "Nvidia is the driving force behind the infrastructure needed for AI. It dominates the semiconductor market and is at the cutting edge of innovation." More Nvidia: Analysts issue rare warning on Nvidia stock before key earningsAnalysts double price target of new AI stock backed by NvidiaNvidia CEO shares blunt message on China chip sales ban For him, Nvidia seems like a safe bet, despite its China headwinds. Bank of America Global Research Media recently hosted Nvidia CFO Colette Kress and VP IR Toshiya Hari for an investor dinner alongside VP/GM of Hyperscale and HPC Computing Ian Buck for a keynote session in San Francisco. At the dinner, Bank of America says Nvidia addressed three key issues: Blackwell rack ramp/executionAI Diffusion and sovereign demandChina AI shipments Related: Samsung adds creepy AI feature to its phones Nvidia's Latest-gen GB200 NVL rack-scale systems are fully ramping as of June 5, with Blackwell well on track. In fiscal Q1, Blackwell Ultra represented about 70% of compute sales. Blackwell Ultra production will begin in fiscal Q2 for a second-half volume ramp. Also, its next-gen Rubin/Feynman solution is also on track for an annual product cadence. Third-party estimates suggest 5 to 7 gigawatts of data center capacity will be installed this year. As a result, Nvidia's data center opportunity should be worth between $250 billion and $350 billion, with a current pipeline of approximately $175 billion. "We view NVDA's relationship with hyperscalers as symbiotic, offering a steady stream of compute capability that is both planned ahead and well-executed," wrote analyst Vivek Arya. "Post the H20 export restriction and write-offs, China is now fully de-risked for NVDA, with no China-related sales in their current Data Center forecasts," the analyst continued. "Meanwhile, the lift of AI Diffusion Rules opens access to sovereign AI for NVDA, offering opportunity whether directly through sovereigns, or through CSPs/neoclouds/enterprises investing on their behalf." In conclusion, BankofAmerica's analyst, stated: "We maintain buy, a top sector pick with a $180 PO as we believe NVDA remains best positioned to benefit from the ongoing AI tide, supported by a multi-year lead in performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support" Related: Popular cloud storage service might be oversharing your data The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.

Wall Street gains ground following a solid jobs report and marks another winning week
Stocks gained ground on Wall Street Friday following a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market. The gains were broad, with every sector in the S&P 500 rising. That solidified a second consecutive winning week for the benchmark index, which has rallied back from a slump two months ago to come within striking distance of its record high. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 61.06 points, or 1%, to 6,000.36. It is now within 2.3% of its record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 443.13 points, or 1%, to 42,762.87. The Nasdaq rose 231.50 points, or 1.2%, to 19,529.95. Technology stocks, with their outsized values, led the broad gains. Chipmaker Nvidia jumped 1.2% and iPhone maker Apple rose 1.6%. Tesla rose 3.7%, regaining some of the big losses it suffered on Thursday when Trump and Musk sparred feverishly on social media. Circle Internet Group, the U.S.-based issuer of one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, rose 29.4%. That adds to its 168% gain from Thursday when it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange. U.S. employers slowed their hiring last month, but still added a solid 139,000 jobs amid uncertainty over President Trump's trade war. The closely watched monthly update reaffirmed that the job market remains resilient, despite worries from businesses and consumers about the impact of tariffs on goods going to and coming from the U.S. and its most important trading partners. 'It looks like, for now, everything is kind of running smoothly,' said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management. 'Investors see that as a positive, but we also haven't seen the full effect of tariffs yet.' President Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs continue to weigh on companies. Lululemon Athletica plunged 19.8% after the maker of yoga clothing cut its profit expectations late Thursday as it tries to offset the impact of tariffs while being buffeted by competition from start-up brands. Lululemon joins a wide range of companies, from retailers to airlines, who have warned investors about the potential hit to their revenue and profits because of tariffs raising costs and consumers potentially tightening their spending. Hopes that Trump will lower his tariffs after reaching trade deals with other countries have been among the main reasons the S&P 500 has rallied back so furiously since dropping roughly 20% from its record two months ago. Senior U.S. administration officials will meet with a Chinese delegation on Monday in London for the next round of trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing. The economy is already absorbing the impact from tariffs on a wide range of goods from key trading partners, along with raw materials such as steel. Heavier tariffs could hit businesses and consumers in the coming months. The U.S. economy contracted during the first quarter. Recent surveys by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, found that both American manufacturing and services businesses contracted last month. On Tuesday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development forecast 1.6% growth for the U.S. economy this year, down from 2.8% last year. The uncertainty over tariffs and their economic impact has put the Federal Reserve in a delicate position. 'All things being equal, you can clearly see they are on hold,' Zaccarelli said. The central bank is holding its benchmark interest rate steady as it worries about tariffs reigniting inflation. It fought hard, using interest rate increases, to ease inflation back toward its target of 2% and rates have been hovering just above that level. The Fed has been hesitant to cut interest rates in 2025 after trimming rates three times late last year. While lower interest rates can give the economy a boost, they can also push inflation higher. That could be especially damaging if import taxes are also raising costs for businesses and consumers. Wall Street expects the central bank to hold rates steady at its June meeting, but traders are forecasting that it will have to cut interest rates later this year in an effort to prop up the economy. In the bond market, Treasury yields made significant gains. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.51% from 4.39% late Thursday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks traders' expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do with overnight interest rates, rose to 4.04% from 3.92% late Thursday. Markets in Europe were mostly higher. Troise writes for the Associated Press.

DeepWho? DeepSeek rolled out even more powerful, cheap AI tech. If you missed it, you're not alone.
DeepSeek updated its R1 AI model a few days ago. It performs better and it's still cheaper than most other top models. Did you miss it? I missed it. Or I saw the news briefly and then forgot about it. Most of the tech industry and investors greeted the launch with a giant shrug. This is a pretty stark contrast to early 2025 when DeepSeek's R1 model freaked everyone out. Tech stocks plunged and the generative AI spending boom was seriously questioned. This time, DeepSeek's rollout "came and went without a blip," Ross Sandler, a top tech analyst at Barclays, wrote in a note to investors. "The stock market couldn't care less," he added. "This tells us that the investment community's level of understanding on the AI trade has greatly improved in just five short months." An unscientific DeepSeek poll I polled my colleagues on Business Insider's tech team on Friday, just to see if I'd been spending too much time watching Elon Musk and Donald Trump argue on social media (rather than doing my real job). Here are some of their responses: One editor said they didn't notice DeepSeek's update, but now they feel guilty for not spotting it. (Solid thinking. Only the paranoid survive in journalism). Another colleague said they knew about it from their quick headline scans, but didn't read too much into it. A tech reporter saw a Reddit thread about it, scanned it, and didn't think about it again. Another reporter said they missed it entirely. So, it barely registered. And these folks are glued to tech news every second of the day. Why does no one really care now? DeepSeek's latest R1 model is probably the third best in the world right now, so why isn't it making waves like before? Sandler, the Barclays analyst, noted that DeepSeek's latest offering is not quite as cheap as it used to be, relatively speaking. It costs just under $1 per million tokens, which was roughly 27 times cheaper than OpenAI's o1 model earlier this year. Now, DeepSeek's R1 is "only" about 17 times cheaper than the top model, according to Barclays research and data from Artificial Analysis' AI Intelligence Index. This illustrates a broader and more important point. Something I've been telling you about since last year: Most top AI models are roughly similar in performance because they've mostly been training on the same data from the internet. This makes it hard to stand out from the crowd, based just on performance. When you leap ahead, your inventions and gains are incorporated quickly into everyone else's offerings. Price is important, yes. But distribution is becoming key. If your employer has an enterprise ChatGPT account, for instance, you're highly likely to use OpenAI models at work. It's just easier. If you have an Android smartphone, you'll probably be talking to Google's Gemini chatbot and getting responses from the search giant's AI models. DeepSeek doesn't have this type of broad distribution yet, at least in the Western world. Was the AI infrastructure freakout misplaced? Then, there's the realization that "reasoning" models, such as DeepSeek's R1 and OpenAI's o3, require a massive amount of computing power to run. This is due to their ability to break requests down into multiple "thinking" steps. Each step is a new kind of prompt that is turned into a huge number of new tokens that need to be processed. The DeepSeek freakout in January happened mostly because the tech industry worried that the Chinese lab had developed more efficient models that didn't need as much computing infrastructure. In fact, this Chinese lab may have instead helped popularize these new types of reasoning models, which might require even more GPUs and other computing gear to run.
