Huawei Watch GT 6 coming in two variants with plenty of color options
The renowned Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, revealed that Huawei is getting ready to announce its Watch GT 6 series this fall, probably alongside the Mate XT 2 in September or October. The GT 6 will arrive in two variants - 41mm and 46mm, each offering a wide selection of paint jobs. The 41mm is supposedly codenamed Kinsu, with gold, purple, brown, white, and black color options, while the 46mm Atum will come in gray, brown, silver, titanium, green, and black. Then again, the tipster may be referring to the strap colors, not the watches themselves, but it's still too early to tell as details are scarce. Last year's Huawei Watch GT 5 came in the same two sizes - 41mm and 46mm, so we are not expecting any major shifts in the design. Source

This Garmin fenix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar GPS Smartwatch Hits Post-Prime Day Low
The end of the big Prime Day sale doesn't mean all of the staggeringly huge deals are gone from Amazon. So if you missed the big sale week, how's this for a consolation prize? The elite-level Garmin fēnix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar multisport GPS watch is nearly half-priced right now in an incredible post-Prime Day deal that saves you $350. There are other $550 GPS smartwatches on the market, but it's safe to say few if any can compete with the Garmin fēnix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar. It's normally a $900 watch, and even at full price it's ultra-competitive. But at just $500 this watch that can run for up to 22 days on solar power, has a fiber-reinforced polymer case and titanium bezel and rear cover that give it incredible durability, and has all the health- and exercise-tracking power you'll ever want is a stone-cold steal. See at Amazon A watch designed for true adventurers, serious workout fans, and extreme sports enthusiasts needs to be tougher than tough, and the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar fits the bill. That polymer case and titanium accents look great while being virtually impervious to abuse, the solar charging lens is scratch-resistant, and the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters in addition to being shock- and vibration-resistant. Your sporting and adventuring sometimes happen in blinding sunlight, so the Garmin fēnix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar sports a high-definition MIP display that's readable even in the brightest conditions. When the sun goes down, there's a built-in LED flashlight with several modes of brightness including a strobe mode for maximum visibility if you're running or biking on the road, and the display features a Red Shift mode to adjust the colors and minimize disruption to your body's sleep cycle. Think of a workout measurement or health metric you could possibly want tracked by an advanced sportswatch and chances are the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar has it. A hill score that measures your running strength and endurance on hills? Check. Preloaded maps for thousands of ski resorts worldwide, and TopoActive maps to keep you on course even when you're off the grid? Check. Multi-band GPS with SatIQ tech for increased accuracy? Check. All the rest of the health metrics you want and need are fully loaded, like Pulse Ox, advanced sleep monitoring, a morning report based on your activity and fatigue level, and training features for every sport and activity you might take part in or think about taking part in. The Garmin fēnix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar has never been priced this low, and may never be again — it's $350 off right now at Amazon. See at Amazon

Bernard O'Shea: There are five types of social-media user — which one are you?
1. The Fitness Fanatic AKA: 'Rise and grind, but make it aesthetic.' It starts with one kettlebell. Then, it's a pair of resistance bands. Next, your feed is a shrine to protein pancakes, foam rollers, and water bottles the size of small toddlers. They consume before-and-after videos like it's a Netflix documentary. They know their macros, their resting heart rate, and the best aisle in Aldi for high-protein yoghurt. Culturally, this person used to be that one lad in the gym who grunted too loudly. Now they're digital. And somehow more relentless. Science backs it up, too. A University of Limerick study found that posting about fitness can increase motivation because it holds you accountable to your followers. In April 2021, they launched a social media campaign promoting exercise to reduce exam stress. Featuring 12 staff and students (the 'Dirty Dozen'), it encouraged daily activity through an Instagram guessing game and educational video, using the slogan 'Healthy Body, Healthy Mind'. The Fitness Fanatic is not here to mess around. They're lifting weights, logging steps, and possibly judging you silently through your Smartwatch. 2. The Lifestyle Curator AKA: 'My house smells like eucalyptus and guilt.' I don't know who needs to hear this, but no one's real life looks like their Instagram grid, except maybe the Lifestyle Curator. These are the people who can make an oat milk flat white look like a Renaissance painting. They post morning rituals, bath trays, cloud-shaped pillows, and captions like 'found this little moment of stillness today'. Lifestyle Curators are digital decorators. They consume videos of fridge restocks, minimalist wardrobes, and Zara haul try-ons. They know how to fold a fitted sheet. They treat lighting like it's a religion. Science-wise, it turns out people are more likely to follow those who portray an 'idealised version' of life — which is just a fancy way of saying we all like looking at clean surfaces we'll never have. If you're this person, embrace it — but don't let it keep you up at night over your aesthetic. The rest of us are watching you while eating curry chips in bed off our chest. 3. The Meme Dealer Is this you? You might have a meme dealer. AKA: 'You up? Here are six reels.' They don't post family photos. They don't share their workouts. But they will send you a meme of a dog dressed as a priest with the caption 'bless up' at 11.52pm on a Tuesday. And honestly? That's the kind of friendship we need. Meme Dealers are cultural lifelines. They consume everything funny — from stand-up clips to niche Irish Twitter accounts. It's like being in a WhatsApp group with a hyperactive jukebox. 'Lol, this is you.' 'Had to.' 'Watch to the end.' Sociologists argue meme sharing is our generation's version of passing notes in class. It's how we bond. And how we say 'I'm thinking of you' without the awkwardness of actual feelings. 4. The Comment Warrior AKA: 'I wasn't going to say anything BUT—' We've all got a bit of this in us. I once commented on a post about dishwashers to say, 'Honestly, you should rinse first.' I was in a mood. I regret nothing. Culturally, this is the spiritual descendent of the lad who used to call Lifeline twice a week. Psychologically, these users get a hit of dopamine from feeling heard. Or from stirring the pot. Or from being right — which they always are. Just ask them. If you're this user, a tip: count to ten before you press 'post'. And remember: no one has ever changed their mind because of a comment under a video of a dog dancing. You may be exhausting, but your unfiltered honesty keeps things spicy. Social media without you would just be brunch photos and cat-playing piano reels. 5. The Niche Enthusiast AKA: 'Follow me for bog folklore, 18th-century butter thefts and regional chipper reviews.' This is where I live. My feed is 30% old Irish maps, 40% clips of people opening crisp packets from the 1990s, and the rest consists of niche accounts like Abandoned Roundabouts of Ireland and Things Found in Walls. The Niche Enthusiast has found their tribe. They don't want followers. They want fellow obsessives. Whether it's buses, ancient roads, mid-century curtain fabric or GAA match programmes — these people are deep in the digital wormhole, and they love it. They consume YouTube explainers, subreddits with 47 members, and videos like '10 things you missed in Dallas Episode 312'. They tag you in things you didn't know you needed — 'Did you know there was a county Donegal GAA jersey with a collar in 1986?!' No. But I'm glad you exist. Culturally, they're the people you want on your table at a wedding. Especially after three pints. Experts refer to this as 'micro-community content.' I call it 'finally being seen'. If you're this user, post your obsession. There's someone out there who also wants to discuss the typography of 1970s Esso Tiger Tokens. So, what type of social media user are you? Fitness Fanatic: Flexing and tagging their gym gear brand in every mirror. Flexing and tagging their gym gear brand in every mirror. Lifestyle Curator: Turning a cappuccino into a cinematic masterpiece. Turning a cappuccino into a cinematic masterpiece. Meme Dealer: Healing the world one ridiculous clip at a time. Healing the world one ridiculous clip at a time. Comment Warrior: Armed with strong opinions and a Wi-Fi connection. Armed with strong opinions and a Wi-Fi connection. Niche Enthusiast: Deep in the folklore of butter and 1980's Japanese Car Imports. Or — more likely — you're a glorious cocktail of all five. Whatever you are, just know this: your algorithm learns more about you than your own parents. Read More Bernard O'Shea: Observe the Constitution of the Irish Family Holiday

Galaxy Watch 7 Is Almost Free, Amazon Clears Out Samsung Watches on Prime Day
Prime Day is a showcase for top electronics brands and this year is no exception. Whether you're an Apple fan, a Samsung enthusiast, or loyal to Microsoft or Sony, there's something for everyone. Samsung is making a splash with major deals across its lineup, from the Galaxy S25 phones to internal SSDs and, of course, the Galaxy Watch series.

The watch is now just $159, down from its regular price of $299 and that's a massive 47% discount. See at Amazon The Galaxy Watch 7 is designed to help you push through your boundaries every single day: The watch uses Galaxy AI to track your runs, bike rides, and other activity so you can compare your performance today to the last time. This real-time feedback is great if you're looking to get fitter or just need a motivational kick. The new Energy Score feature is powered by Galaxy AI and considers your activity and recovery and tells you how ready you are to take on the day. It's a personalized way of being aware when your body is in the right state. The new heart rate monitor system uses artificial intelligence to cancel out motion and provide more accurate readings whether exercising or just living daily life. This is a huge bonus if you want sound health information at your wrist. The watch also offers customized wellness guidance and segments information captured throughout the day and offering suggestions to help meet fitness goals. Sleep tracking has also been enhanced with the added benefit of enabling healthier lifestyles and improved nights' sleep to be easily achieved. The Galaxy Watch 7 uses advanced sensors and AI technology to monitor your sleep patterns and is able to detect even moderate to severe sleep apnea. Your watch collects all the data and then processes it on your phone. The watch itself is light and comfortable to wear, with a thin round face and a luxurious 40mm touchscreen display. With 32GB of storage space, you can load your favorite apps right onto your wrist. The 300mAh battery supports all-day use and Bluetooth connectivity ensures you're connected with your phone. This deal is going to disappear as quickly as it appeared, so act now and order your Galaxy Watch 7 before it's gone. See at Amazon

Forget about the Galaxy Watch 8 and pick up the Galaxy Watch 7 today at this bonkers $140 discount!
If you thought there was simply no way for any major US retailer to beat that amazing $130 Galaxy Watch 7 discount from last month anytime soon, Amazon is here today to prove you wrong during its hugely anticipated Prime Day 2025 celebrations. That's right, Samsung's non-rugged and non-FE-branded 2024 smartwatch is marked down by an even heftier $140 at the time of this writing, and incredibly enough, you don't need to bundle the wearable device with any other product to maximize your savings now. GPS, Bluetooth, Aluminum Case, 1.3-Inch AMOLED Display with 432 x 432 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 300mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Cream Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, Amazon Prime Membership Required Buy at Amazon GPS, Bluetooth, Aluminum Case, 1.47-Inch AMOLED Display with 480 x 480 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 425mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Silver Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, Amazon Prime Membership Required Buy at Amazon GPS, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, Aluminum Case, 1.3-Inch AMOLED Display with 432 x 432 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 300mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Cream Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, Amazon Prime Membership Required Buy at Amazon GPS, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, Aluminum Case, 1.47-Inch AMOLED Display with 480 x 480 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 425mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Silver Color Options, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, Amazon Prime Membership Required Buy at Amazon What's perhaps even more surprising about this particular Prime Day offer is that the biggest discount is available on the cheapest Galaxy Watch 7 variant, which normally costs $299.99 with a 40mm case and no standalone cellular connectivity. The GPS-only 44mm model, meanwhile, is discounted by a slightly humbler (but still record-breaking) $130 from a $329.99 list price, with 4G LTE-enabled units costing $110 and $120 less than usual in small and large sizes respectively. Across the board, you will need an Amazon Prime membership to claim these presumably unbeatable Galaxy Watch 7 summer deals... and you'll also need to ignore the fact that an undeniably improved Galaxy Watch 8 is widely expected to go official tomorrow. Either that or you can acknowledge the very real possibility (almost certainty) that the Galaxy Watch 8 will not change that many things about its predecessor while surely taking a long time before reaching similar heights of affordability as said predecessor. Yes, the most affordable Galaxy Watch 7 model is amazingly cheaper than a Galaxy Watch FE right now while packing a punchy (and frugal) 3nm-based Samsung Exynos W1000 processor, rocking a gorgeous circular AMOLED touchscreen, and perhaps most impressively, keeping an eye on everything from your heart rate to your sleep quality, Galaxy AI-powered energy score, and skin temperature. If that's what a budget-friendly smartwatch can do, why would anyone spend more than $200, let alone $300 or $400 for a "more premium" device these days?
