The Garmin Venu Sq Smartwatch Is 40% Off Right Now

The Garmin Venu Sq Smartwatch Is 40% Off Right Now

The Garmin Venu Sq is one of the best budget smartwatches you can get. The Venu Sq was already considered a budget smartwatch, but after it was succeeded by the Venu Sq 2 last year, it became even cheaper. I’ve had mine for over three years, and it's still performing like it’s fresh out of the box. Right now, you can get the Venu Sq for $119.99 (originally $199.99) after a 40% discount from Amazon. This is one of the lowest prices for this watch I've seen (and much cheaper than what I paid for it).

I got the Venu Sq in 2021 when I was looking for a smartwatch that would allow me to listen to Spotify on my runs without needing my phone. Despite all the new smartwatches and fancy features that have come out over the years, I haven't felt the need to upgrade yet.

The Venu Sq has all the important features you'd expect from a smartwatch these days, including the blood oxygen sensor that Apple Watches will no longer have. It also has excellent fitness tracking features, up to six days of battery life (still six days after three years), and great sleep tracking. On the downside, the GPS can be slow to lock on compared to more recent smartwatches, and the vibrator is loud but weak.

How to Download All Your Media From Google Photos

Image
Cloud storage has changed the way we take care of our data. In the past, you needed to backup and transfer files between devices directly, or else you wouldn't have them in multiple locations. If you took photos on your iPhone or Android, for example, you'd often want to plug it into your computer to make sure those photos were both backed up and easily accessible for sharing with friends, family, and the internet at large. The problem is, we've changed the way we deal with data these days. If you plug your smartphone into your computer expecting to transfer all the photos and videos you see in your photos app of choice, you might be surprised to find that only a fraction of the images actually make their way to your PC. It's confusing, considering that media is accessible on the phone: Why can it just be a seamless transfer? Google Photos makes it confusing to know which images are stored on-device That's exactly what happened with Reddit user Spax123 , who took

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H

How to Choose Between Alexa and Google Assistant

Image
If you’re looking to have a hands-free experience with your smart home, you need a voice assistant. By merely talking in the direction of a device enabled with the assistant, you can get information about the weather, time, local businesses, or anything else from their knowledgbase. You can control smart devices or send an email or SMS, and it’s all done by interacting vocally with the assistant, who speaks in a human-ish way. There are three well-known voice assistants: Siri, which is exclusive to Apple devices, Alexa , which is operated by Amazon, and Google Assistant . Since people are generally Apple or Android loyalists , it makes sense that if you run Apple products, you’d stick with Siri for your assistant. For everyone else, which voice assistant should you choose: Alexa or Google?  When it comes to smart home technology, there are two factors to consider: the hub you’ll use to connect your smart devices so you can control them, and what voice assistants you might want to use
