This Apple Watch-beating Black Friday Garmin Epix (Gen 2) deal is the best smartwatch deal I've seen all year

I’ve been reviewing Garmin watches for years, and I know a good deal when I see one - so trust me when I say this is the best of the Black Friday Garmin deals I’ve seen so far. And if you’re in the market for one of the best Garmin watches (or even one of the best running watches period, for that matter) you’d be mad to pass this up. 

Right now, the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) which usually retails for $799.99, has had its priced slashed by 44% to just $449.00. That’s the same price range as a mid-range watch like the Garmin Venu 3 or Garmin Forerunner 265 – both great value prospects on their own, but the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) blows them right out of the water. At this price, it’s even better value than the Apple Watch Ultra.

The Garmin Epix is essentially the Garmin Fenix 7, which offers best-in-class GPS navigation and fitness tools, and adds an AMOLED screen over the top. This way, you get a lovely smartwatch screen which also happens to display extremely detailed topographical maps. Check out the deal below: 

Get the Garmin Epix deal here:

Garmin Epix (Gen 2): was $899.99 now $449 at Amazon
 Garmin Epix watches are the same as a Garmin Fenix watch, with AMOLED screens instead of memory-in-pixel. The same outrageously good GPS tracking, battery life and wilderness stuff, now with AMOLED topographical maps and notifications. Other colors are slightly more expensive, but heavily discounted to $599 nonetheless.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
