WIRED has published a running roundup of Prime Day fitness tech discounts, including the Google Pixel Watch 5, Apple Watch SE 3, CMF Watch 3 Pro, Peloton Bike+, HigherDose Red Light Therapy Hat and Apple AirPods Max 2. The list is updated daily as prices change and expired deals are removed, with the Pixel Watch 5 currently $65 off in both 41mm and 45mm sizes.
Google has released an update for its Pixel Buds 2A and Pro 2 earbuds, adding features first teased in August. Paired with a Pixel Watch, the buds can now detect when a wearer falls asleep and respond by pausing music, muting notifications and disabling touch controls, alongside new tap-to-mute, one-tap live translation, and Gemini voice commands for ANC, EQ and touch settings. The Pro 2 also gains an exclusive Dynamic ANC feature that adjusts audio based on earbud fit.
Code strings found in the latest Pixel Watch app update (version 5.1.0.990450614) indicate Google is deprecating Safety Signal, a Health Premium feature that provides cellular connectivity to the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3 LTE when paired phones are out of range or the watch lacks its own carrier plan. The service currently supports emergency contact calls, Safety Check, Emergency Sharing, Emergency SOS and Fall Detection in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany. Google has not announced a shutdown date or a replacement.
Amazon's two-day Prime Day sale includes discounts on several wearables, including a roughly $50 cut on the newly released Apple Watch Series 12, $65 off the latest Google Pixel Watch, and 20 percent off the Apple Watch SE 3, bringing it to $199. WIRED reviewers have tested and vetted the products featured in the roundup, which is being updated as new deals appear.
