Pick up the Apple Watch Series 10 while it's down to a record-low price
Memorial Day may be over, but some of the best holiday sales on tech are still lingering today, including a few solid discounts on Apple devices. Key among them is $100 off the Apple Watch Series 10, the wearable we consider to be the best smartwatch for most people. That brings it down to $299, which is a record-low price. This price is for a GPS version (meaning it doesn't support LTE) with the smaller 42mm case. At the time of writing, the $299 price applies to two color variants: a jet black aluminum case with black sport band and a rose gold aluminum case with light blush sport band. Discounts vary on other configurations. The Apple Watch Series 10 is an iterative upgrade. If you already have a Series 8 or 9, it's perhaps not worth switching to the latest model. However, if you're rocking an older Apple Watch or you're looking to pick up your first one, this is our recommendation. We gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a score of 90 in our review. The Series 10 is a little thinner and lighter than the previous model, but it has a larger OLED screen, which makes it easier to see what's on the display. Apple has improved the efficiency of the battery life as well, and it should often last longer on a single charge than the 18 hours for which it's rated. The new sleep apnea feature is very welcome, but the blood oxygen feature from older models is not available here (Apple removed that app from certain models in the US due to a patent dispute). In general, though, the Series 10 is a solid step forward for the Apple Watch. The latest model is a terrific fitness tracker that helps you keep an eye on the most important alerts and notifications you receive on your iPhone. If you're looking to spend a bit less, the Apple Watch SE is also on sale for $169.

The iconic Ratio Eight coffee maker just got a major upgrade
Ratio's iconic Series 8 coffee maker just got a major upgrade. With its timeless combination of Chemex and pour-over, the OG has ben around since 2014, and while it's still a classic choice, Ratio has announced the new Series 2: "a new chapter for a modern classic". Shipping from September, the Series 2 is sure to be a hit. It takes the much-loved features of its predecessor to create something standout. Price-wise, it's $799, though at time of writing it was discounted to $639 for pre-orders. Plus, an extra $100 for a thermal carafe. The Ratio Eight Series 2 is an upgrade on the original, boasting dual recipe brew programs, a stainless steel and handblown glass pairing with a solid walnut trim, a flat bottom filter basket and added heat shield. This stylish update takes from the previous Eight Series and makes it, well, better. If you'd like the thermal carafe, it's an additional $100 on top of this price. The Ratio Eight coffee maker is a unique mix of pour-over and Chemex brewing. A complicated process if you're tackling it alone, but with Ratio's intricately designed smart technology, it's a whole lot simpler. And while the technique it emulates is complex, the design of this coffee maker is simplicity at its finest. A mixture of premium materials, it's eye-catching and chic – blending matte and glass with a wood trim. With all this in mind, it's a huge hit with coffee pros for both what it offers to simplifying the pour-over process and the beauty of its design. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As the original Ratio Eight has been on the market for a decade now, there's a lot that's been learnt, and the Series 2 incorporates these tweaks into a new coffee maker that is sure to impress. So, with the Ratio Eight Series 2 model, the team has made some awesome upgrades. These include a flat brewer basket for a more even extraction, a heat shield for hotter coffee (though you can add the thermal carafe for $100, too), a better glass carafe for easier pouring, and the inclusion of a half batch and full batch button activated by long touch. These days, a coffee maker will typically lean towards a more modern design, like the Fellow Aiden for example. It's incredibly sleek, but the Ratio Eight series is focused on a different design – creating a midcentury look. With a combination of glass, matte premium materials and a sophisticated wood trim, it's a stylish and nostalgic option when compared to the best coffee makers currently on the market. Crafted in Portland, a city that you'll often hear married with the words "hip" and "trendy", it should come as no surprise that the Ratio Eight is made in Oregon. Plus, it's backed by a 5-year warranty, meaning Ratio is pretty confident you'll be getting wonderfully brewed pour-over coffee for years to come with little hassle. But while it won't be available for a couple of months yet, we'll be first in line to get our hands on this impressive Series 2 upgrade, and we'll follow it up with a review of our own.
