The Apple Watch Series 9 is still a fantastic contender, even with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the market. It has everything you need in a smartwatch, starting with its wide range of fitness features. Track your heart rate, sleep, workouts, and just about everything else you can think of with options for runs, swimming, and beyond. You can have your watch monitor a wide range of movements and report back to you so you can keep an eye on how your body's moving and all the measurements in between.

But beyond that, it can also handle all the normal day-to-day functions you'd expect from a smartwatch, thanks to its S9 chip and GPS, with IP6X certification against dust, and its waterproof build with up to 50 meters of protection. Call and text, pay for items, get reminders, listen to music, control your phone's camera, and much more. For all under $400, this is a great deal that you won't want to miss out on.

If you're ready to lock in a smartwatch, this is one of Apple's best at the moment, so make sure you grab one if you're ready to part with some cash – less than you usually would for this model.

It's time, folks: Apple Store is down in anticipation of a new iPhone.

This time, we know we're getting something today, as Apple CEO Tim Cook took the rare step to tease the launch beforehand.

Tweet may have been deleted

"Get ready to meet the newest member of the family," he tweeted last week.

That newest member is likely an affordable iPhone, though we're not sure about the name. Up until a few days ago, everyone thought it was going to be the new iPhone SE, but recent rumors say that it'll be called the iPhone 16E, potentially placing it at lot closer to the top of Apple's lineup.

The EcoFlow Delta 2 is all about massive AC output — we're talking about 1800W with 1024Wh capacity powerful. Those numbers mean the portable power station is capable of keeping 90% of your home's appliances powered up. EcoFlow breaks down the numbers for us further, explaining the Delta 2 can keep your refrigerator going for up to 14 hours, your WiFi router connected for 58 hours, or your phone recharged 89 times.

The output of the EcoFlow Delta 2 means it's a great thing to have around the house should the power cut out. But it can also be a wonderful option for those who have road trip plans, live the RV or van life, or those who camp often.

The Delta 2 is well-equipped with charging ports. You'll have six AC outlets, two USB-C, two USB-A, two DC ports, and a car charger. That means your family won't argue over who gets to charge their phone first on the single port.

The EcoFlow Delta 2 is also impressive when it comes to recharging. On AC power, the portable power station can charge to 100% from nothing in just 1.3 hours. Car charging also takes about the same time. With a solar setup, expect to get a full recharge in about 2.5 hours.

With the EcoFlow app, you can easily monitor the battery status and control which outlets receive power.

Say goodbye to nights spent in the dark during a power outage by equipping your home with the EcoFlow Delta 2 portable power station. With the on-page coupon at Amazon, you'll be able to grab this powerful model for just $414 instead of the standard list price of $999.

A24 has released the first teaser trailer for Bring Her Back, the next horror film from Talk to Me creators Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou. While the short clip may not give away much in terms of plot, it already serves the same sinister supernatural vibes that made the duo's feature directorial debut such a success.

I don't know where we're bringing her back from, who's asking to be let out, or why someone is begging to die. But I do know that it's probably going to be a very bad time for all involved.

Filmed in Australia, Bring Her Back stars Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Billy Barratt (Kraven the Hunter), Sora Wong, and Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth).

Bring Her Back will arrive in theaters everywhere on May 30.m

SAVE $50: As of Feb. 19, Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are just $49.99 at Woot, down from $99.99. That’s 50% off and one of the lowest prices we’ve seen. If you’re a Prime member, you also get free shipping.

$99.99 Save $50.00 Get Deal

I’ve gone through way too many budget wireless earbuds. Most of them sound awful, die after a few months, or refuse to stay in my ears. So when I saw Woot (which is run by Amazon, by the way) drop Samsung Galaxy Buds FE to just $49.99, I figured I’d give them a shot. It turns out they’re actually pretty solid.

First, they fit way better than I expected. Samsung’s new wing-tip design keeps them locked in place, which is a must for anyone whose earbuds randomly fall out mid-walk. They’re also surprisingly comfortable for long listening sessions, which I wasn’t expecting at this price point.

SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 off

The sound quality is great for the price, with a balanced mix of bass and clarity. They even have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which, while not on par with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro or AirPods Pro, still does a decent job at blocking background noise. If you need to hear what’s happening around you, Ambient Mode lets in outside sound without taking the earbuds out.

Samsung also includes Auto Switch, so they’ll automatically hop between your Galaxy phone, tablet, or laptop without needing to be manually connected. If you lose them, SmartThings Find can track them down, which is a lifesaver for anyone who constantly misplaces their tech.

At full price, these were a tough sell over more premium options, but for $49.99 at Woot, they’re an absolute steal. Prime members even get free shipping, so there’s no extra cost. If you need cheap but reliable wireless earbuds, now’s the time to grab them.

SAVE $115: As of Feb. 19, Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $134.99 at Woot, down from $249.99. That’s 46% off, and Prime members get free shipping.

I thought the Buds 2 Pro were already pretty great, but Samsung really went all in on upgrades with Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. They’re now on sale for $134.99 at Woot, which makes this the cheapest price yet for Samsung’s most advanced earbuds.

First off, the AI features are wild. You can actually hear real-time translations through your Buds when using the Interpreter feature on a Galaxy phone. That means if you’re traveling or chatting with someone in another language, you’ll hear a translation straight through your earbuds.

SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 off

Then there’s the audio quality. Samsung upgraded these with SSC HiFi and UHQ audio codecs, which support 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution sound. That’s audiophile-level quality in tiny wireless earbuds. When you pair them with a Samsung device, they also unlock 360 Audio with Direct Multi-Channel, giving you that immersive theater-like surround sound.

In a noisy environment? Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is top-tier. It’s supposed to be even better than the Buds 2 Pro, which was already excellent at blocking background noise. And if you take a lot of calls, the Super Wideband microphones make your voice sound way clearer by filtering out surrounding noise.

Battery life is also solid. With ANC on, you can playback for up to 8 hours, and with the charging case, up to 18 hours. The case also supports wireless and wired charging, plus fast charging, so you can quickly top them up when needed.

At $249.99 these were strictly for premium buyers. At $134.99 on Woot they’re a steal, although the international version means there's no domestic warranty, but I’m not too worried about this price. Prime members get free shipping, so if you want some of the best wireless earbuds out there, now’s the time to grab them.

SAVE $140: As of Feb. 19, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are on sale for $89.99 at Woot, down from $229.99. That’s 61% off, and Prime members get free shipping.

I’ve tested my fair share of wireless earbuds, and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro still stand out. Now that they’re just $89.99 at Woot, this is hands-down one of the best true wireless deals I’ve seen in a while.

The sound is incredible. Samsung tuned these for Hi-Fi 24-bit audio, which means you get richer detail and better clarity than most earbuds at this price. Pairing them with a Samsung phone unlocks 360 Audio, which creates a spatial surround sound effect. Music, movies, and even calls feel way more immersive.

SEE ALSO: I can’t believe this 85-inch Hisense U7 4K TV is $900 off

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is no joke either. It blocks out everything from city traffic to loud office chatter. Even when you’re not playing music, turning on ANC creates a quiet bubble around you. And when you actually want to hear the world, Ambient Mode lets outside noise in without taking your earbuds out.

Samsung also nailed the fit. These are lighter and more compact than the original Buds Pro, and they sit snugly in your ears without feeling uncomfortable after long sessions. Plus, they’re IPX7 water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about sweat or a little rain ruining them.

Battery life is solid: five hours with ANC on and another 18 hours with the case. And if you ever need a quick boost, fast charging gives you an hour of playtime in just five minutes.

At full price, the Buds 2 Pro are premium earbuds. At $89.99 on Woot, they’re an absolute steal. If you’re looking for a great pair of ANC earbuds that sound amazing, now’s the time to grab them. Prime members get free shipping, so there’s no excuse to pass this up.
