    The weekend's best deals: Beats, iPads, Samsung portable SSD and more

    It’s the weekend and that means a new roundup of the best tech deals on the web! This week we have the first price cuts on Beats’ Fit ​​true wireless ANC sports earphones and Withing’s ECG-equipped hybrid smartwatch. Beats Fit earphones are essentially sports versions of Apple’s AirPods Pro, with IPX4 water resistance. The noise canceling isn’t as adept as the AirPods (also on sale), but it does reduce noise significantly, especially higher-pitched sounds. Beats Studio earphones without water resistance are also at their lowest point ever.

    Withings ScanWatch is a hybrid smartwatch that incorporates a small screen into a traditional watch face as if it were a watch complication. It’s a sleek design that Withings has been using for a while, and this latest watch features FDA-cleared ECG and blood oxygen readings, with a battery that lasts up to 30 days. If you don’t mind manually tracking some activities (it can automatically track walking, cycling, running, swimming, and sleeping), it’s a cheaper, simpler alternative to the Apple Watch Series 7 for EKG readings, blood oxygen monitoring, and all. . -day heart rate tracking.

    Elsewhere on the web, we’ve got discounts on iPads, Amazon’s 4K Fire TV Stick, and Samsung’s fast and rugged T7 portable SSD. There are also solid discounts on the likes of Roombas, Google Nest thermostats and Apple’s (2021) 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro. Check out the full list of curated deals below.
