Act fast! Huawei Watch 5 launch deal slashes £50 off the price and throws in a free strap
Huawei's latest flagship smartwatch is here to do battle with the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Google Pixel Watch 3. And thanks to a launch deal from the Chinese brand itself, you can currently grab the wearable with a bit of a discount. Right now, you can pick up the Huawei Watch 5 with £50 off its £399 launch price with the addition of a coupon on Huawei's UK site. And, as a nice little sweetener, the brand is also throwing in an extra free strap as part of the deal. The Huawei Watch 5 is the Chinese brand's latest flagship with 46mm or 45mm sizings and respective 1.38 and 1.5-inch AMOLED displays. The casing comes in a choice of stainless steel or titanium and up to 4.5 days of battery life. The innovative X-TAP sensor on the side of the case delivers heart rate and SpO2 monitoring and the watch can be fitted with an eSIM for cellular connectivity. This deal knocks £50 off with the addition of a coupon until June 29, 2025 The Huawei Watch 5 could probably fool you into thinking it's not a smartwatch, but a regular analogue timepiece from the days of old. In an age when wearables are leaning increasingly into sporty and rugged aesthetics, the Chinese brand's latest device has a classic and premium design language. That's largely thanks to the circular case coming in a choice of stainless steel or titanium and you can get it in either 46mm or 45mm sizing. The LTPO display is secured behind sapphire glass and boasts an impressive 80% screen-to-body ratio. Huawei's ace-in-the-hole for the Watch 5 is the device's "X-Tap" sensor located on the side of the watch. Placing your finger on it delivers an SpO2 reading in under 10 seconds while the One-Tap Health Glance feature checks over 11 different health metrics (including heart rate variability and skin temperature) in under a minute. Even if you don't plan to use it for sports, there's over 100 sport modes included on the watch and thanks to eSIM support, you can load up hiking or running maps without having to bring your phone with you. This deal makes the device even cheaper for a limited time, and Huawei is also throwing in that aforementioned free strap and five free premium watch faces that would normally cost a total of £24. The Huawei Watch 5 works with both Android and iOS but for those already using a Huawei phone, it's a nice upgrade that's going to be £50 cheaper until June 29 when this offer ends.

Trump's 10% tariff is coming: What to buy now before prices rise in US
A blanket 10% tariff on imports, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, is expected to take effect in July, following the end of a 90-day grace period. If there are items on your wishlist, now is the time to act — or create that list fast — to avoid paying more later. Many companies have stocked up in advance to cushion the blow, but rising prices now appear inevitable. Even products labeled "Made in USA" may not be immune, as they often rely on imported components like microchips, batteries, and fabrics — all subject to the new tariffs. As a result, production costs are going up, and retailers are gradually adjusting their prices. Walmart, for instance, plans to begin price increases later this month, continuing into June. Starting in July, almost everything — especially imports — is likely to become more expensive. Expect hikes across tech gadgets, appliances, home goods, clothing, shoes, cars, and even groceries. Top Recommendations Before the Tariffs Hit Major news outlets have already compiled expert-backed shopping lists.

Google Pixel Watch 3's Life-Saving Feature Explained
Google Pixel Watch 3 Google has provided a little more detail on how its potentially life-saving 'loss of pulse' detection feature works in the Pixel Watch 3. Earlier this month, Google announced loss of pulse detection for the Pixel 3, and has now published a blog post explaining in a little more detail how it works, and how it was developed. I'll give you the shortened version. Google says the Pixel Watch 3's loss of pulse feature relies on three core metrics. The first is, sensibly enough, that the optical heart rate sensor on the back of the watch appears to detect the loss of heart rate signal. Or, to use Google's own wording, the Pixel Watch notices 'a sudden large drop in the alternating current (AC) component of the green PPG.' It also employs a 'machine learning algorithm' that analyzes the sensor data from the PPG heart rate sensor and accelerometer. And it assesses input from an 'additional sensor' using LEDs with 'different geometries, wavelengths, LED currents, and photodiode gain settings.' The only explanation that really makes sense here is Google is referring to the sensor what would otherwise tell you your blood oxygenation. Google says it teamed-up with cardiac electrophysiologists and their patients for the development of the loss of pulse feature, and no doubt the 'machine leaning algorithm' its explanation refers to. The blog goes on to explain this was a key part of the feature's development, as recreating actual situations where someone's heart stops is both ethically and practically fraught. To get your head around the power of the Pixel Watch 3's loss of pulse feature, the blog also offers some useful context. It's about turning an 'unwitnessed' out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) into a witnessed one. But instead of a person nearby doing that witnessing, the wearable does. As detailed in the original story on the Pixel Watch 3's loss of pulse functionality, attempts are made to alert the wearer, using sound and haptic feedback, before a call is finally made to emergency services.
