      We currently inhabit a world where many people are interested in reducing technology from their lives without completely eliminating it. Compare this year's article on the benefits of simple phones to a classic from 2011, which stated that young individuals value technology over the ability to perceive scents. This brings us to the Light Phone III, an upcoming device that is available for pre-order now and aims to streamline your life without being “dumb.” While it possesses considerable technological features, as mentioned in our Light Phone III teaser, everything is designed in an “intentional” manner. Essentially, this phone is created to serve you rather than advertisers or the parts of our brain that react to flashing lights and sounds. Preorder now to benefit from a $200 discount, bringing the price down from $799 to $599, by clicking the button below. Alternatively, continue reading to discover why sometimes, less truly is more.

      Reasons to preorder the Light Phone III

      Like matter and anti-matter, protons and electrons, light and dark — opposites create balance, or so the narrative goes. The Light Phone III encompasses all essential features of a contemporary smartphone: a camera, alarm, timer, calculator, calendar, directory, navigation, a notes application, and a straightforward music and podcast player. It includes GPS, Bluetooth, fingerprint ID, a flashlight, a noise-cancelling microphone, and can even serve as a hotspot for your other devices. Additionally, it boasts a quality AMOLED display.

      However, the Light Phone III is most notable for what it lacks. There are no vibrant images, no distracting apps vying for your attention with notification sounds, and the applications it does offer are plainly labeled with straightforward terms like “Directions” or “Music,” minimizing the constant compulsion to check and scroll through your phone. The Light Phone III is designed to be a purposeful tool, much like a Swiss Army Knife, rather than an addictive source of dopamine. In essence, it serves as an advanced digital detox device that remains compatible with modern living.

      Interested in simplifying your life by eliminating the stress and distractions of a conventional smartphone but don’t want to pay full price? For a limited time, you can secure your preorder for $200 off the regular price. Essentially, this offer allows you to get the Light Phone III for $599 instead of the usual $799. Just click the button below to place your order.

      Get a Withings ScanWatch hybrid smartwatch for just $219 with this offer

      Recently, we published our review of the Withings ScanWatch Nova Brilliant and had the opportunity to examine a hybrid smartwatch that combines the brilliance, elegance, and style of a traditional watch with a digital display. You can think of it as a conventional watch with a digital "complication" (in watch terminology, a complication refers to a feature other than timekeeping) — similar to a G-Shock 2100 series, but “smart.” It’s truly impressive, visually appealing, and certainly a review worth checking out.

      Unfortunately, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant retails for $600. Therefore, we searched through the archives and discovered a fantastic deal on the Withings ScanWatch Light. It is now priced at $219, down $31 from its regular price of $250, and we believe you will appreciate it — especially if the typical aesthetics of leading smartwatches do not appeal to you.

      A worthwhile Garmin smartwatch deal: Save $250 on a Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar

      Currently, there are several deals available for the Garmin Fenix 7 series, but we’ve identified one that stands out as the best purchase today, featuring an excellent price alongside remarkable features. This offer is for the 47mm Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar, which possesses the most features and offers a price worth double-checking after discounts are applied (it’s now just $650 down from $900 after a $250 reduction).

      However, we worry that there might be some misunderstanding surrounding the term "Sapphire" in the watch's name — this refers to a feature rather than a color! It’s understandable if you were anticipating a somewhat bluish gemstone hue, but instead, we have a black variant and a gray/orange option reminiscent of Valve's GLaDOS. Click the appropriate button below to select your desired color or keep reading to understand why this is one of the best smartwatch deals available right now.
