The Apple Watch Series 8 is a durable smartwatch that is swim-proof, dust-proof and crack-resistant. For regular smartwatch users, it packs just about every feature you could ask for into a compact, comfortable-to-wear package. Amazon just cut its price again for Labor Day.
The Apple Watch 8 has a number of fitness- and health-tracking features, including an optical heart sensor, electrical heart sensor for ECG, blood oxygen sensor and a new body temperature sensor. It also comes with a new crash detection feature, which detects where the wearer is in a severe car crash and alerts emergency services.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is the obvious choice for anyone who doesn’t need any of the Apple Watch Ultra’s ridiculously long feature list. It’s just right, and a great upgrade from the previous line’s offerings. It’s also more affordable and frequently goes on sale.

Samsung’s “The Frame” smart TV is designed to resemble art. Its bezel features a customizable picture frame, so when the TV is hung on your wall, it can look like a piece of artwork. Plus, when you’re not watching programming, the TV automatically displays either famous works of art (that you preselect) or your favorite digital photos. In other words, you never have to have an unattractive black rectangle hanging in your space. Because of this TV’s unique design that makes it look like a piece of decor, “The Frame” has become the most popular TV with CBS Essentials readers.
To make artwork displayed on the screen look more realistic, “The Frame” uses a non-glare matte display. This also allows the TV shows or movies you’re watching to look detailed with life-like colors. “The Frame’s” slim one-inch design boasts a QLED display capable of showcasing 4K resolution video, HDR support, and Quantum Dot technology for over a billion colors.
When you purchase “The Frame,” you can choose from a handful of bezel colors and styles, so when hung on the wall in your home, it will match the existing decor. Like all of Samsung’s smart TV’s, this one relies on the Tizen operating system which gives you access to all popular streaming services and networks.
