We are officially one month away from spring. For many of us, that means the weather will finally be nice enough to be able to exercise outside. If you want to continue keeping a close eye on your fitness and health metrics while you're away from the indoor gym equipment, right now Walmart is selling LTE enabled Apple Watch Series 8 for $299.99 ($200 off) in select colors with a small/medium band.
Apple's next-generation flagship wearable isn't dramatically different from the new Apple Watch Series 9. You'll miss out on the Series 9's double-tap feature and Siri on the device. However, you'll still be able to take advantage of many of the same health features, including electrocardiographs, menstrual cycle tracking, irregular heartbeat alerts, fall detection, and emergency calling. Additionally, the wearable has the same large, always-on display as the Series 9.
If you own a compatible smart home hub, Meross simple plugs can add basic intelligence to lamps, TVs, fans, coffee makers, and other indoor devices so you can control them with your smartphone or by voice via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Home. You can also add various automations, from setting schedules for the lights to scheduling the fan to turn on when it gets too hot.
The main difference between the two products is that the Matter-ready plug is more future-proof and compatible with a wider range of smart home ecosystems. It also offers a different design that makes it difficult to install two in a duplex outlet. However, both are good options if you are looking for simple, affordable smart plugs and don't need extras such as energy monitoring.
