It’s the smartwatch to buy for your Android phone.” Even better, this deal lets you snag it for a substantial 40% discount.

How to choose a smartwatch on Cyber Week

There are a lot of options out there for smartwatches, but for the most part, there are generally three big players on the market: Apple, Samsung, and Garmin. Apple Watches are made specifically for the Apple ecosystem, and if you’re in it, then you’ll want to go with one of those, with your main options being the Watch Series 9 for a good budget-friendly option, the Ultra Watch 2 for the best, and the Series 10 for something in the middle. We actually have a great breakdown of the Apple Watch Series 9 vs. Ultra 2, so be sure to check that out before taking the plunge.

On the other hand, Samsung is the go-to smartwatch maker for Android, and it generally has two options every generation: a standard model and a pro or classic model with a bezel that you can turn to control the watch. Samsung does have a high-end option in the form of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but it borrows, almost to a comical extent, from the Apple Watch Ultra.

Finally, Garmin is the brand you go for if you want something more about fitness tracking than a smartwatch. It has a wide range of products, but the Forerunner lineup is great for runners, while the Venu is a great option for those who want a good balance between smartwatch and fitness tracker.

There’s a hidden coupon that makes this Cyber Monday smartwatch deal even sweeter
A person wearing the Mobvoi TicWatch Atlas.

I often hear complaints about battery life being too short on a smartwatch, but there is a solution to the issue, and the model in question happens to be my pick of the wearable deals out there this Cyber Monday. The smartwatch is the Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5, and I’ve easily stretched the battery life out to four days on a single charge with all the health tech active. Use the smartwatch’s extended battery mode, and it will continue working for weeks.

Now that I’ve got your attention regarding the battery life, I have some great news on your choice of model and the price, should you decide to buy one. Mobvoi has discounted all its current smartwatches for Cyber Monday on Amazon, and because they’re variations on the same theme, you have a choice of styles without sacrificing features or the brilliant battery life. This is because they all share the same dual-screen technology, with the primary OLED showing Google’s Wear OS and the secondary LCD taking care of the ambient display. It’s a clever system that maximizes battery life.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

 
Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.
