Smartwatches have become a necessity not only for people who want to lead an active lifestyle, but also for those who want to keep an eye on their health at all times. Modern smartwatches and smart bands have evolved from being fitness-centric devices to overall health and well-being-focused accessories. They come with a number of useful and life-saving features like 24 x 7 heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, blood oxygen monitor, and even fall detection. Haven’t we heard enough stories about how the Apple Watch has saved the lives of people in need of help.

Black Friday Smartwatch Deals

If you are looking for a smartwatch to get from any of the top brands, this is a perfect time. Most smartwatches from Apple, Fitbit, and Garmin are on sale right now, with Fitbit watches getting the maximum discount.

So let’s take a look at the Best Smartwatch Deals for Black Friday 2021.

 

Best Apple Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021

Apple Watch 7 Series Deals

Apple Watch Series 7

The Apple Watch 7 series is the latest smartwatch lineup from the Cupertino giant. So there aren’t any huge discounts on offer on these watches.

The Apple Watch 7 GPS 41mm model is down to $389 from the usual $400 price tag. The GPS + Cellular model gets a slightly better discount at $479 (usually $500).

If you are looking for the 45mm model, the GPS model gets a $10 discount ($419) right now) but the GPS+ Cellular hasn’t got any big discounts right now.

Apple Watch SE Deals

Apple Watch SE

The Apple Watch SE is the model to get right now, with both 41mm and 44mm sizes getting a solid $60 OFF from its retail prices! Unfortunately, the GPS+ Cellular models haven’t got any good discounts right now.

You might be tempted to get the Series 3 for $220 but honestly, getting the SE instead makes a lot more sense right now.

 

Best Fitbit Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021

Fitbit is known for its wide range of smartwatches and fitness bands and like we mentioned above, most of its products are heavily discounted this week.

Fitbit Sense

Fitbit Sense

The Fitbit Sense is the brand’s most feature-packed smartwatch, and it comes with practically every health-centric feature you could wish for. This includes features like Stress Management with EDA sensor, Heart Rhythm assessment with ECG app, Skin temperature tracking, Blood Oxygen SpO2 monitoring, and notifications for abnormal heart rate not usually found on cheaper watches. This is in addition to the usual health centric features like sleep tracking, step tracking etc.

Usually retailing for $300, the Fitbit Sense is down to its lowest ever price of $199 right now. If you were looking for a smartwatch that could do it all without spending too much on something like an Apple Watch, this is the watch to get.

 

Fitbit Versa 3

Fitbit Sense

The Fitbit Versa 3 is the slightly watered down version of the Fitbit Sense. But for most consumers, the Versa 3 packs enough features making it a really good value for money. This watch lacks a couple of premium features like stress management, skin temperature, and heart rhythm assessment, but in return offers a slightly better battery life and a cheaper price tag.

You can get the Fitbit Versa 3 for just $179.99, down from the usual $229 price tag. I know, this brings it closer to the Fitbit Sense, so most of you might consider the Sense a better value at its current $199 price.

Honestly, right now, the Sense is a better buy than the Versa 3. But if you really want something cheaper, why not get the Versa 2 which is down to just $119, the lowest price we’ve seen for this smartwatch yet. It lacks fast charging but at this discounted price, you can’t go wrong with the Versa 2.

 

Fitbit Charge 5

Fitbit Charge 5

If you don’t fancy a large smartwatch on your wrist, then the Charge 5 is an excellent option. This smartband comes with a touchscreen color display with all the essential health-centric features like blood oxygen SpO2 tracking, skin temperature and heart rate variability tracking, built-in GPS to track running pace and distance, along with 6-months of Fitbit Premium membership too.

Usually retailing for $179, the Fitbit Charge 5 is down to just $129.99 right now. Being a fitness band, it features a better battery life than the Versa and Sense watches.

Fitbit Luxe

Fitbit Luxe

If you want something more basic, you can get the Fitbit Luxe which is down to $99 from the usual $150. While you do get some premium Fitbit features like stress management and 24×7 heart rate monitoring, it lacks GPS and blood oxygen monitoring (said to be rolled out later). But for a smartband it has a very crisp color display and looks good on your wrist.

You can also check out the Fitbit Inspire 2 smartband which is down to $59 (usually $100) or the Fitbit Ace 3 (for kids) which is down to $49 from the usual $80 price tag.

 

Best Garmin Watch Deals for Black Friday 2021

Garmin Smartwatches have also got pretty decent discounts for Black Friday 2021.

Garmin Fenix 6 Series Deals

Garmin Fenix 6 Pro

 

Fenix is the brand’s most premium smartwatch lineup, marrying the concept of outdoor watches with a premium design. Usually, Fenix watches are very expensive, but at this week’s Black Friday sale, the Fenix 6 Pro gets a whopping $200 price cut. It’s down to just $449 for a limited time.

Along with the usual fitness tracking features like HR sensor, blood oxygen monitor, exercise tracking, the Fenix 6 Pro brings in outdoor centric features like preloaded topo maps, ski maps for over 2,000 worldwide ski resorts, multiple global navigation satellite system (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) support and built-in sensors for 3-axis compass, gyroscope and barometric altimeter.

The biggest difference between the Fenix 6 Pro and the regular 6 and 6S is the presence of music, maps and WiFi, which the standard 6 /6S variant lacks.

Further, the Fenix 6S is down to just $342 and the Fenix 6 is down to $400.

Considering the solid price cut on the 6 Pro, it’s actually not a bad idea to shell out a few more bucks and get the premium Fenix 6 Pro right now instead of the 6.

 

Garmin Forerunner 245

Garmin Forerunner 245

Garmin’s popular smartwatch Forerunner 245 for running is down to just $209, which makes it a steal at this price. This is more than $100 OFF from its usual selling price of $320!

This is the ideal smartwatch for runners with advanced running centric analytics like cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation to give you a clear view of how your body is performing during your runs.

 

Garmin Vivoactive 4

Garming Vivoactive 4

Garmin’s Vivoactive series is ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle and need regular health-centric data. And the Vivoactive 4 brings the ability to play music, track your workouts, and monitor regular fitness centric data like respiration, menstrual cycle, stress, sleep, estimated heart, hydration and more.

The watch is currently down to just $199 instead of the usual $250-279 price tag.

 

Garmin Venu Series Deals

Garmin Venu

Garmin’s Venu series is often called the direct Apple Watch rival, and most of the models in the lineup are discounted right now.

The Garmin Venu is down to $199 right now from the usual $250 price tag, while the Venu Sq also gets a solid $40 discount and now starts at $129.99. The Venu 2 has also got a $50 price cut, now down to $349.

The Venu 2 is the latest offering in the Venu series, featuring more exercise modes, better menstrual tracking, and a much longer battery life than the older Venu. But naturally, $349 is a pretty high premium to pay for these additional features. 

The Venu features a round AMOLED display with Wi-Fi, more outdoor-centric sensors like altimeters, and can even play offline music. For $199, it offers great value for money. 

Garmin Venu Sq

The Venu Sq is a lite version featuring a square LCD display having most fitness-centric features as the Venu but lacks Wi-Fi and altimeter, and you can only control music via your smartphone. Naturally, the Sq also features a longer battery life than the Venu. And at $129, its a solid bargain. 

So these were the best smartwatch deals for Black Friday 2021 on Apple, Fitbit, and Garming watches.

Vivo announced its first smartwatch aptly named Vivo Watch in September last year. The watch is about to get a successor – the Vivo Watch 2. Before now, the Watch2 had appeared on certification websites and in leaks. A leaked picture showing three renders of the second-generation Vivo smartwatch has now appeared online pointing at an imminent launch.vivo Watch 2

The renders not only give us an idea of the design, but they also show some of the features expected onboard the smartwatch. Some of the notable features include heart rate monitoring, in-built GPS, and a step counter. The renders also show the device will come with support for voice calls. This aligns with previous rumors that tip the wearable device to come with e-SIM support.

In terms of the design, the Vivo Watch 2 will adopt the same circular design as the predecessor. The watch also comes with the options of leather and silicone straps. The watch is also said to come with a 501mAh battery which is twice the size of the first-gen Vivo Watch. This means it will have better endurance.

There is no word yet on the launch. We expect other details to emerge as time goes on.

Niantic & Fold launch new AR game that lets you grab Bitcoins instead of Pokémon

By
Zohaib Ahmed
-

Niantic has collaborated with financial company Fold to create an augmented reality game called Fold AR. The game allows users to earn bitcoin and in-app benefits by exploring their physical surroundings. It is currently undergoing testing and the Fold AR team will allow a small fraction of users to test the game for a limited time daily.

Pokémon Go is an obvious inspiration for the game, but Fold’s press release has gone a step further by calling it a part of the metaverse. The difference between the two games lies in the prize – while Pokémon Go revolves around capturing cute monsters, Fold AR is based mostly on finding cubes and tapping them to reveal a prize.

fold ar featured

And it’s the prizes bit that makes the game special, as some of them are in the form of Bitcoin in the denomination of Satoshis. Satoshis is currently a very small unit worth 1/20th of a penny. The reward also contains power-ups for the Fold app.

There’s another difference, however, concerning the world it’s set in. Fold AR doesn’t virtual locations that correspond to real-world places. Instead, the game spawns a block between 1 and 50 feet away from the player every 10 minutes, corresponding to the rate of real Bitcoin mining.

The Fold AR team hopes to add more features with time, even including one that lets players hide Bitcoins for friends to find as well as some form of NFT.

Fold CEO Will Reeves says that the goal of the game is to partly make a virtual currency feel real by creating an AR setting for it. The game is full of cryptocurrency-related memes and other related stuff, but it’s still supposed to appeal to both crypto-enthusiasts as well as regular players.

Lenovo laptops with Intel 12th Gen CPUs to launch in 2022, as supply chain improves

By
Sean

An official from Lenovo has just revealed earlier today (26th November 2021) that the company’s laptops with Intel’s latest 12th generation of Core processors are on the way and will be launching next year.

Lenovo

 

The news arrives from a Weibo post (a Chinese microblogging website) shared by Lin Lin, the marketing director of consumer notebook products in China. According to the Chinese consumer electronic maker’s executive, the brand is set to launch new notebooks with 12th gen Intel Core processors in 2022. He added that this was possible as the supply chain has finally improved significantly in recent times. Although, he did stated that the supply of certain notebook models will still be limited.

In other words, we do not know which exact models won’t suffer from a shortage in components. However, we can expect a number of PCs from its gaming laptops and lightweight laptops hitting the shelves with Team Blue’s latest 12th Gen Core processors. Recently, the company had launched a new YOGA Duet 2021 2 in 1 Windows 11 laptop, which had been out of stock for a long time. So, it appears that the supply chain is indeed improving.

Lenovo YOGA Duet 2021

Unfortunately, the senior official refrained from revealing any other details regarding these upcoming laptops. So we have no way of knowing which specs and features they might ship with. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates if the company teases the new laptops or any official announcements are shared.

Apple fined $11 million in Italy for allegedly using user data commercially without consent

By
Zohaib Ahmed
-

Apple and Google were both fined 10 million Euros ($11 million) today by Italy’s Competition Authority for allegedly using user data for commercial purposes without their consent – a violation of Italy’s Consumer Code.

The authority claims that Apple directly exploits the economic value of user data it collects to “increase the sale of its products and/or those of third parties through its commercial platforms (App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books).”

Also claimed was that neither Apple nor Google provide users with proper information about their data being used for commercial purposes. The read of the fine even claims that Apple does not provide a way to opt-out of the use of their data (via MacRumors).

The readout of the fine adds that Apple only tells its users that data would be used to improve their experiences, not that it will be used commercially. This is true in the sense that a prompt is shown when using the App Store saying that Apple may use some of the user data to “enable features, secure our services, or personalize your experience.”

But while the authority has correctly outlined Apple’s lack of acknowledgment for data being used for commercial purposes, it fails to provide proper examples of Apple partaking in such activities.

Apple’s privacy policy states that the company will only use personal data to power its services, comply with local laws, prevent fraud, and for communication objectives. Personal data may only be for other purposes with user consent.

Krafton has just recently launched PUBG: New State, which has already become a hit worldwide. Now, the company is planning on taking the franchise to other fields of media as well, with a planned Exclusive web series and music being in the works for the Indian market.

PUBG: New State

The South Korean publisher behind the popular battle royale title has announced earlier today (26th November 2021) that it has partnered with Sony Music India to bring a new “Bad Boy x Bad Girl” from Indian artist Badshah into the game. Furthermore, this collaboration has also kicked off a new dance challenge, with Krafton also announcing a new PUBG New State based Web Series that is titled New State Chronicles, which aims to expand the game’s presence in the region.

Notably, the song from Badshah, which also features playback singer Nikhita Gandhi, will be used in sponsored content like streams and promotional videos. Similarly, Krafton is also bringing in popular Indian rapper Raftaar to introduce an exclusive song for PUBG: New State. This special song is written by Raftaar and will highlight the game’s new features, which would likely serve as the anthem of the game in India.

Talking about the web series, New State Chronicles is a three part serise that will feature celebrities and influencers like Awez Darbar, Kaneez Surka, Kubbra, Mortal, Mr. Faizu, Raftaar, Rannvijay Singha, Rohan, Scout, The Great Khali, and The Sound Blaze.

Caviar launches an iPhone 13 Pro and Elon Musk Bust made from melted Tesla Model 3

By
Sean
-

Caviar has just released some interesting new products. The company has launched a new high end custom Apple iPhone 13 Pro series along with a new bust modeled after the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk. While the two custom items are quite different from one another, they have one notable similarity, a body made from a melted down Tesla car.

Caviar

Talking about the custom iPhone first, the luxury goods maker from Russia has announced a new iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max Electro. This model is the latest customized iPhone 13 handset, joining the likes of a Rolex inspired, gold plated, and even a Dinosaur tooth sporting iPhone 13 Pro models from Caviar. The notable aspect of this variant, however, is the fact that its frame is made out of titanium with black PVD coating.

Caviar

Furthermore, it is contrasted by a white shock resistant composite material and an aluminum panel. This material is made from the body of a Tesla and features engravings of Musk, the Tesla logo and the car as well. The company is only making 99 Tesla Electro models, with the base option starting from 6,760 US Dollars. Alongside this product, Caviar is even launching an Elon Musk bust that features a black marble base with double gold plated plaque that houses the serial number of the bust, since only 27 units will be made.

This bust is also made out of metal parts of a Tesla Model 3 that were remelted (like the hood, doors, and other parts). For those interested, prepare to shell out 3,220 US Dollars for a mini statue of the billionaire. You can even check out the video linked above for more details.

Vietnam smartphone shipments see massive 28% YoY decline in Q3 2021 due to COVID-19

By
Zohaib Ahmed
-

The Vietnam smartphone market saw a massive 28% YoY drop in shipments in Q3 2021, mostly due to COVID-19-induced restrictions in major cities, which triggered labor shortages and closure of shops and malls. And on top of that, the ongoing global semiconductor shortage further resulted in limited volumes.

However, the market did perform well on a monthly level during July, but this saw a decline the very next month itself owing to the highest-ever spike in COVID cases.

Moving on to the brands themselves, Samsung performed extraordinarily well, reaching its highest ever share of 49% in Q3 2021. Most of its demand stemmed from budget offerings like the Galaxy A12, Galaxy A03s, and Galaxy A22 (via Counterpoint Research).

Vietnam Smartphone Shipments

OPPO bagged the second spot with a 19% share, driven mostly by its A series. Xiaomi and vivo took the third and fourth spots with 13% and 8% shares respectively. For Xiaomi, its Redmi series was the driving force for its sales while the Y series did well for vivo.

Out of the total shipments, the online channel made up 13% during the same time period. Xiaomi led online sales with a share of 36% with Samsung closely following at 33%. This channel wasn’t spared by logistical issues either. To boost sales, OEMs partnered with online platforms to offer exclusive deals. Samsung, for example, partnered with Lazada for the fourth edition of LazMall Super Brand Day, where customers could avail savings at Samsung’s official store.

5G smartphones made up 20% of the total shipments in Q3 2021, and the figure is expected to rise further by 2021-end. 5G trials have already commenced in the country with Viettel becoming the first to do so. The carrier achieved a top speed of 4.7 Gbps during the trial. Auctions for the 5G spectrum are to start sometime in Q4 2021.

Regardless, manufacturing in Vietnam has been severely impacted by restrictions and lockdowns, affecting shipments of nearly every OEM. Most of the manufacturing facilities in Ho Chi Minh City during the restrictions were either closed or operating with limited manpower. As a result, some brands have even begun to look into setting up their factories elsewhere.

Still, smartphone shipments are expected to bounce back in Q4 2021 as restrictions are being lifted, workers have started returning to industrial towns, and vaccination rate is gaining momentum.
