Fitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch Restocked as a Flash Offer, Feels Like Black Friday in August

Keeping fit is a lot of effort, and while it may well be rewarding, a lot of people hit a plateau and then really struggle to push through that. A large part of that comes down to the fact that your improvements aren't always easy to see, whether in the mirror or on the scales. Better health tracking can help though, and that's where a great smartwatch can really shine.
If you're looking for a really good option, then you'll want to go ahead and get this Fitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch while it's 25% off. That means it's down to $150, which is an excellent price, and a small amount to pay for peace of mind when it comes to your training.

Smartwatches have been a real game-changer when it comes to fitness. You'd normally have to pay good money, or learn a lot, to be able to accurately track some of the things fitness smartwatches can do with ease. It means that getting one is an investment of sorts, but one that's often a lot cheaper than getting all of the things you'd need to cover all of your bases otherwise.
The Fitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch, first of all, is a lot smaller than some other smartwatches. It means that it just doesn't take up as much room on your wrist, which can be nice for those who don't want clunky accessories. Outside of the fitness stuff, it has a GPS functionality to allow you to keep an eye on where you are and where you're going, which is lovely if you're someone getting into hiking or forest trails.
In terms of your health, it can track not only all of your heart rate and sleep stuff, but actually has a bunch of modes dedicated to different exercises as well, so you can get more accurate results. It even offers advice on your sleep, to help you rest a bit better, and it makes it easy to see when you should be working harder or taking a break. It even works for all the usual smartwatch stuff like notifications, paying for things with Google Wallet, and it comes with a six-month Premium subscription for the best possible results.
That's a lot of great stuff for $200, but that's not what you're going to be paying. Instead, while this limited-time deal is on, you can get it for $150. We recommend acting quickly on this one, because we're not expecting it to last for long.

Dell, Nvidia, and Elastic Join Forces to Supercharge AI Workloads

Aug 12 - Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) is teaming up with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Elastic (NYSE:ESTC) to supercharge its AI Data Platform, designed for industries from media and entertainment to finance. The goal is to make it easier for enterprises to build, deploy, and scale AI at lightning speed. Dell's Vrashank Jain calls the platform built for a world where data is gold, pointing to its ability to break down data silos, accelerate workflows, and create richer AI-enabled experiences. Under the hood, Dell PowerEdge R7725 servers paired with Nvidia's RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs deliver serious computing muscle. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Elastic brings its Elasticsearch tech to the table, enabling natural language and vector search. Editors can now pinpoint a scene instantly without digging through endless folders. Nvidia's Omniverse libraries and AI models take it further, streamlining searches through massive 3D asset libraries. Whether in film production or real-time financial analytics, Dell claims the platform accelerates processing, communication and storage of low-latency, high-performance AI workloads. This tripartite co-operation could be a shortcut to greater AI-based efficiency that companies crave. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

"Flesh-eating" bacteria risk increasing as ocean temperatures rise

Lifelong boat captain George Billiris says he's lucky to be alive after Vibrio vulnificus, the so-called "flesh-eating" bacteria that lurks in warm coastal waters like those along Florida's Gulf Coast, nearly killed him. "I started to get chills, feverish, my leg was swelling, burning," the third-generation sponge fisherman told CBS News. Billiris was wading in the water while fishing with his grandson back in July 2019 when he contracted the bacteria, which got into his system through a cut he had on his back leg. It was "just a little tiny scab," Billiris said. At the hospital, doctors used a marker on his leg to track the spread of the bacteria. After three weeks of treatment, the infection subsided, saving his leg from amputation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five people who contract the bacteria die after rapid spread of the infection. During hurricane season, the danger of contracting Vibrio vulnificus heightens, according to Dr. Valerie Harwood, a microbiologist at the University of South Florida. Research also shows the ocean's water temperature is rising due to climate change, which leads to more frequent and severe storms. Harwood said that because the bacteria thrives in warmer waters, it means more infections are seen in places that haven't experienced them before as water temperatures rise in those regions. "With warming waters, we are seeing cases further north," Harwood said. In recent years, cases have been reported in the Carolinas, and even as far north as Connecticut and New York. This year, there have been 17 cases in Louisiana, 16 in Florida and seven in North Carolina. Florida has reported five deaths so far, the most of any state. The bacteria can also spread through uncooked seafood, mainly oysters. These days, Billiris says he is more cautious in the water, but he still sails his family's boat nearly every day. He hopes others will recognize the symptoms of an infection, because earlier treatment could mean the difference between life and death. "Lot of people waited because they didn't know," he said.

Hot sale: Samsung's new smartwatches still come with freebies!

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority All of these offers come from Amazon. This means the free gift cards are all Amazon ones. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + free SmartTag 2 4-Pack Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 + free SmartTag 2 4-Pack Brighter display, better battery life The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 offers a new 'squircle' look, with new band attachments, backed by new software, a 50% brighter display over last year's model, and a slightly larger battery. The watch is available in four configurations: a 40mm display in Wi-Fi or LTE and a 44mm display in Wi-Fi or LTE. See price at Amazon Save $99.99 Limited Time Deal! The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 may not be as fancy as the other new models, but it will meet most people's needs at a lower price. I happen to like the new design, too. It has adopted a more square bezel while keeping the circular screen. It looks much more like the Galaxy Watch Ultra lineup, but it is smaller and much sleeker — it's actually 11% thinner. While more petite, this smartwatch is actually quite resistant. It still comes with an IP68 rating, which makes it resistant to both water and dust. In fact, it also gets a 5ATM rating, which means you can submerge it as deep as 50 meters. On top of that, it even gets a MIL-STD-810H certification. You'll have a hard time damaging this little guy! Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority The watch has a large 1.47-inch Super AMOLED display with a pretty impressive 3,000-nit brightness. This is something you would usually only find in the highest-end smartwatches, really. It also gets a pretty sharp 480 x 480 resolution, which equates to a 327ppi (pixels per inch) pixel density. Even the battery life is pretty impressive at 30 hours per full charge, even with the always-on display enabled. This gets extended to 40 hours if you turn it off. As you can see, this is a very capable smartwatch and very few of you would have any reason to upgrade. The free SmartTag 2 4-pack is really just a cherry on top. It's a $99.99 added value, so it's a nice deal if you'll actually take advantage of them. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic + $100 Amazon Gift Card Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic + $100 Amazon Gift Card Going squircle, still Classic The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic continues the Classic lineage but with a squircle redesign. Available in Wi-Fi and LTE, with a 3,000 nit display and big 445mAh battery, enjoy all of the best Samsung smartwatch software experiences in style. See price at Amazon Save $100.00 Limited Time Deal! Personally, the main benefit of upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the aesthetics. It looks much more like a traditional watch, instead of keeping that tech gadget look. This refined design will make it a better option for office-dwellers or anyone who cares about fashion. The benefits don't end with aesthetics, though. You'll also get twice the storage, as it comes with 64GB. The frame is made of stainless steel, instead of aluminum, so it will be even sturdier. I also love that it has a rotating bezel, giving you a fun way to interact with the watch. Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Of course, it still has the same IP68, 5ATM, and MIL-STD-810H ratings, and the rest of the specs are also pretty much the same. If you deem the above-mentioned upgrades worthy, the free $100 gift card is definitely a nice incentive to upgrade. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) If you want the best of the best, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was refreshed in 2025. Its only main competitor is the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is obviously for Apple users. This means that those who want a premium smartwatch experience on an Android phone have no better option than this one. How is this different than the first Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra? Well, Samsung added a few improvements. For starters, it gets 64GB of storage, which is twice as much as the predecessor. There's also a really nice-looking Titanium Blue color version. It also comes with Wear OS 6 out of the box, in the form of Samsung's One UI 8 software. Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 model is pretty much the same, but this isn't a bad thing. It gets a large 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 480 x 480 resolution and 3,000 nits of brightness. It's also more resistant. Aside from the same IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings, it also gets an improved 10ATM certification. This means it can be submerged as deep as 100 meters, which is twice as much as the other Galaxy Watch 8 series. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority As the color names entail, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is also made of titanium, which is better than both aluminum and stainless steel. This material is known for being both light and resistant. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is mainly for those who know they will be a little rougher on their smartwatches. It's better equipped for more torture, or even swimming. The battery life is quite impressive with this one, at 60 hours per charge with Always On Display enabled. Turn off the feature and you'll get 80 hours! It's definitely pricey at $649, though. It's nice to at least get a free $100 gift card! Regardless of which smartwatch you're getting, we can only advise that you act quickly. These free gift offers don't usually last very long after the initial launch, and other similar offers on smartphones released at the same time have already disappeared. It's only a matter of time before these deals disappear, too. If you're not quite convinced by these, though, we have a list of the best smartwatches here. Follow
