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.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

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 ...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
