Those looking for the perfect children’s tablet should look no further than Fire HD 8 Kids. It is equipped with all the same features as a regular Fire tablet plus two-year warranty, protective case and free year of Amazon Kids +, which gives you access to books, games and other Audible.

The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is (quite literally) more suitable for older children, as its 10-inch display is larger than the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition. You’ll also be able to install apps from the Kids app – with access to parental controls – a free year on Amazon Kids + and a less robust (but still secure) case.

The problem with Amazon’s Fire tablets above is that they don’t have a Google Play Store, so you don’t have a rich library of apps like other Android tablets. If this is what you are looking for, choose the Galaxy Tab S7. It’s more expensive, but you get a sharp 11-inch LCD with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, an S Pen stylus for drawing and taking notes, and support for Samsung’s DeX mode software (which provides a desktop experience when is connected to a monitor or Bluetooth keyboard).

Suggestions for a smart watch

Purpose,, Amazon (exhausted),, Samsung

Galaxy Watch4 (7/10, WIRED recommended) is our favorite fitness tracker for Android owners for several reasons. This is not only the first smartwatch to work with Wear OS 3 (Google’s latest operating system, created in collaboration with Fitbit and Samsung), but its sensors monitor indicators such as ECG, SpO2, sleep and heart rate – all this is assembled in an elegant and comfortable wearable wrist. However, it is worth noting that it only works with Android phones, and the ECG function only works if you have a newer Samsung phone.

Fitbit Charge 4 was our favorite universal smartwatch when it came out. This is the model that introduced features that are not usually seen on cheap wearables (such as built-in GPS). Charge 5 retains these distinctive features and packs several new ones, including a heart rate sensor, in a watch that is about 10 percent thinner than its predecessor.

Purpose,, Amazon ($ 239)

Apple Watch SE is our best choice as the best Apple Watch for most people. This is a great choice if you don’t need the sophisticated features that come with the Series 7 – like an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, always on display and a blood oxygen monitor – and just want a basic, affordable Apple Watch to use. pair your iPhone. In addition to standard health and fitness tracking, you’ll also get a Retina display, drop detection and a fast processor.

This watch just came out, so it’s a pretty small deal. The only notable improvements in the 7 Series (8/10, WIRED recommends) over its predecessor are a larger display, faster charging and the ability to track ebike trips. But even if it’s a gradual improvement, it’s still the best smartwatch for iPhone owners. See our Apple Watches guide if you’re not sure which one to buy.

Hybrid HR Jorn is our favorite hybrid smartwatch. This is a good option for those who prefer the look of a traditional watch with several smart features. On the display you can see indicators such as heart rate, number of steps and time via the E Ink screen. We do not recommend it for tracking workouts, as it is not very accurate, but it is still useful if you want to quickly review your progress during the day.

Fossil Gen 6 is one of the few Wear OS watches that still receives our honorable mention. Google is in the midst of a change in its wearing strategy, and the Fossil Gen 6 is one of the few ongoing kits to be updated in 2022. Until then, it still has decent fitness tracking features and a handy feature that keeps the clock showing. time, even if the battery is exhausted.

The health and lifestyle accessories company Withings is offering a 25 percent discount on most of its products this Cyber ​​Monday, and of all the brand’s wearable trackers, this is the one we would recommend in the first place. This is a very simple smartwatch, with analog hands that show the time and track your steps. It also lacks a screen, so it looks like a regular old watch, not like technological clock. Paired with an app, it can count steps, record workouts, track sleep, and send vibrating alerts for calls and text messages. Combined with formal attire, it looks like a majestic watch. The replaceable battery of the watch lasts more than a year. Get one for this person who “doesn’t wear smart watches.”

Amazon,, KING

We consider the Garmin Venu Sq (8/10 WIRED Recommends) to be the best fitness watch on our list of the best smartwatches – especially for its ability to accurately track health and fitness performance combined with its affordable price. In terms of specific features, the Venu Sq offers an always-on LCD touch screen, blood oxygen monitoring, energy level monitoring and sleep monitoring.

Purpose,, Amazon ($ 260),, REI (exhausted)

Garmin’s Instinct Solar (8/10, WIRED recommends) is a robust smartwatch that is great for tracking various health and fitness indicators, but especially for extreme activities such as hiking. It has excellent battery life that lasts days with a single charge of testing, but its solar function also allows it to be recharged using sunlight.
