Smartwatches have become quite a popular fitness tool over the last several years, but these gadgets can do far more than help you count calories. Some of the best models can even receive notifications from your phone, allowing you to stay connected when you’re out for a casual stroll. And when it comes to smartwatch deals, one brand we’re always glad to see promos from is Garmin.

As a matter of fact, we came across a great Garmin offer earlier today: For a limited time, when you purchase the Garmin Lily 2 Active through Amazon, Crutchfield, or Best Buy, you’ll only pay $250. The full MSRP on this model is $300.

Why you should buy the Garmin Lily 2 Active

The Lily 2 Active is as much a statement piece as it is a feature-packed smartwatch and fitness companion. Available in numerous colors and band styles, the Lily 2 has a 1-inch x 0.84-inch display that blends right in with the watch aesthetic. Tap the screen, and you’ll be greeted with a bright and colorful screen that supports up to 240 x 201 resolution. When paired to your phone, you’ll be able to receive texts and notifications, and the watch is compatible with both iOS and Android devices!

Garmin claims you’ll get up to nine days of battery life (when the wearable is set to Smartwatch Mode), which bodes well for those who want to put this tough pup to the test. Use it for keeping tabs on your sleep, heart rate, and respiration, or take advantage of the many sports apps built into the device. Other noteworthy features include automated and manual safety tracking and a 5 ATM water resistance rating.

We’re not sure how long this discount will stick around, so if you’ve been looking to score a great price on a smartwatch, now might be your best shot. Take $50 off the Garmin Lily 2 Active when you purchase today. You may also want to check out our lists of the best fitness deals and the best Fitbit deals.

The OnePlus 13 is coming on January 7 — along with a surprise
The OnePlus logo on the back of the OnePlus Open Apex Edition.

It's official: the OnePlus 13 will launch on January 7, 2025. Preempting the anticipated event by several weeks, OnePlus has officially confirmed the date we’ll see its next major smartphone release outside of China. Additionally, it has revealed some key features and news of a surprise new launch to go along with the phone.

OnePlus will release the OnePlus 13 in three different colors — Black Eclipse, Arctic Dawn, and Midnight Ocean. It’s the latter that is likely to be the model to have, as it is wrapped in a material called micro-fiber vegan leather, which is apparently corrosion and scratch-resistant but still luxurious to the touch. For the Arctic Dawn phone, the glass will have a special coating to give it a silky-smooth finish. It’s likely these are the same colors offered in China, where the phone has already been announced, just with different names.

The front of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are among the most interesting, unexpectedly fun, and surprisingly useful wearables I’ve used in 2024. However, as we go into 2025, I’m getting worried about the smart glasses situation.

This isn’t the first time I’ve felt like we’re on the cusp of a new wave of cool smart eyewear products, only to be very disappointed by what came next.

We need to talk about this fantastic, industry-leading Motorola collab
A person holding the Motorola Edge 50 Neo.

We are accustomed to tech brands partnering with adjacent brands, whether it’s OnePlus with Hasselblad or Honor and Huawei with Porsche Design, and often — such as with Xiaomi and Leica — singing the praises of the resulting collaborations. But not enough has been said about Motorola’s now established partnership with color experts Pantone.

It was when the recently released Motorola Edge 50 Neo arrived for me to try out that I finally understood how impactful the collaboration has become. Why? It manages to make even ordinary colors look fantastic.
Boring gray?
