Our reviewers raved about the Apple Watch 10, and now it’s $70 off

By now, the world has had some time to really digest what it means to own an Apple Watch 10, and the reports are looking good. If you don’t own one yet, previously decided you wanted to wait until long-term reviews started pouring in, or thought the initial price on the Apple Watch 10 was too steep, you’re in luck. Not only have we got some extended reviews to report on, we’re also seeing a great Walmart discount on the watch. Today, you can save $70 on an Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS) at Walmart. That takes the 42mm version down to $329 from a high of $399 or the 46mm version down to $359 from a high of $429. Tap the button below to explore the watches on your own or keep reading to see more about the watches as well as to learn about our personal experiences with it.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

The Apple Watch Series 10 currently sits atop our list of the best smartwatches, with the strong title of “best smartwatch for the iPhone.” That’s pretty cut and dry. But it wasn’t always so simple. Our Apple Watch 10 review plainly calls it “two steps forward, one step back,” and you’re totally right for thinking that’s conflicting.

So, what was the issue? In short, blood-oxygen tracking has been removed from the watches so as to avoid an import ban based on a patent dispute. This is still an issue (that will be present on other smartwatches, to be fair) if that is an important feature to you and your personal needs. But our more recent looks at the Apple Watch Series 10 show that this was just a moment of loss aversion. After an extended look at the Apple Watch 10, it has become a “go-to watch” and the Sp02 tracking hasn’t been missed very much at all.

Furthermore, the gorgeous finish of the watch has held up to real and everyday use. Another of our reviewers stated that the watch has ruined smartwatches for him, in part because of how comfortable it is to wear (it is thin and light) and in part because of how well it connects with Apple Fitness+. Yet another writer happily upgraded to the Apple Watch 10 with his wife, marveling at the wide-angle OLED display and feeling relieved by the sleep apnea detection health feature that is new to both the Apple Watch 10 and Apple Watch 9.

If you buy and wear an Apple Watch Series 10, you’ll be in good company. And, as we mentioned before, right now is a great time to do so. Right now, Walmart has the Apple Watch 10 on sale for $70 off. If you get the smaller 42mm version you’ll pay $329 instead of $399, while the larger 46mm version is marked down to $359 from $429. Either way, be sure to tap the button below to lock in this deal now, as it is expected to end at the end of this week.

Forget the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL leaks, the Pixel 9 is $150 off

If you follow the hype, it seems like Apple fans are always having their day in the sun. But this week has been great for Google Pixel fans. First of all, there are leaked Google Pixel 10 Pro XL images to gawk at. The phone is already set up to be one of the best Android phones when it gets released, with only the Pixel 10 Pro Fold beating it in the Pixel 10 lineup. However, the other big news for the week is something you can act on now. The 128GB version of the Google Pixel 9 is $150 cheaper at Best Buy and Amazon right now, bringing it down to $649 from its usual $799. Tap the appropriate button below to snag one for yourself while the deal lasts, or keep reading to see why the Google Pixel 9 is the phone to buy today.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel 9
The Google Pixel 9 is one of the best Pixel phones yet, and average customers will probably prefer it to the Pro version for its more affordable price. In fact, the Google Pixel 9 has changed our minds about Pixel phones altogether for its fun magic editor features and high usability. As stated in our Google Pixel 9 review, the tactile haptics of this phone make it feel super responsive, while the great hardware of the phone (it has 12GB of RAM, for example) make it actually quite responsive. And the camera is so nice, you'll have to check out the Pixel 9 photos we took yourself to believe it.
