Today is more of a public service announcement than an outright deal, though it certainly is a deal. As you may know, Apple is expected to take the wraps off the Apple Watch Series 4 in just a few hours. The specs are still a mystery, but the price is not: If it follows the Series 3 model, it would start at $329 (for the smaller, non-LTE model) and rise sharply from there. Ouch. Even if Apple keeps a cheaper alternative in the line, as it currently does with the Series 1, you're still looking at sale prices closer to $149. Better, but still a bit rich for my blood.

Thankfully, there's an affordable alternative -- one I've been championing for much of 2018. It's the Amazfit Bip, and it sells for just $80 from Amazfit proper. You can also get it from Amazon for the same price, and it occasionally even dips closer to $70.
