The summer break is almost coming to a close but there is still time to keep your little ones active. Encourage them to move their bodies by giving them the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2. You can get this fitness tracker for kids at a discounted price from Amazon and Best Buy right before school starts.

Garmin is one of the biggest names in the wearable industry, alongside Fitbit and Apple Watches. The company is especially known for its multiple lines of fitness and sports smartwatches like the Vivoactive, Forerunner, and Vivofit wearables. And while the child editions of these activity trackers do not pack the same hardware as the adult ones, they offer a nice range of capabilities.

The Vivofit Jr. 2 is the second generation of the child-friendly activity tracker by Garmin. Like the first Vivofit for kids, it tracks daily steps and sleep. Both models also allow parents to manage chores and create schedule alerts.

The first noticeable change on the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 that was not available in the first version is its cartoon-themed bands. This kids’ activity tracker now comes in several themes inspired by Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. Let them choose the design they like best to make it more exciting for them – that is, if you are not planning on a surprise.

Also, the bands now come in stretchy and adjustable forms. The stretchy bands fit wrists up to 147mm around. If you need a larger size, you can choose an adjustable band. Designs vary for either band forms.

Another physical feature that changed in the second Garmin Vivofit for kids is its display. It now has a color screen that can be customized. Users will also be pleased to know that this upgrade does not affect the battery life. It will still last for up to more than a year.

Just like its predecessor, the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 also syncs with the app. When kids reach their 60-minute activity goals, the app rewards them with a step in the Adventure Trail. This time around, the game matches the design of the band. Watch your child play the Star Wars, Disney, or Marvel game every day.

Save up to 38% when you get the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 on Amazon or Best Buy. Stocks are limited for some design, so hurry and place your order now.

Apple wants you to verify your identity before you get Education discount on products
Apple moving the US Education Store off the honor system also seems about making a globally consistent verification infrastructure that could eventually support more aggressive Education Store expansion.

Getting an Apple Education discount in the United States used to be as simple as claiming you’re a student or a teacher; it didn’t need a formal verification. That era is officially over. 

Starting May 8, 2026, Apple now requires formal identity verification for all Education Store purchases in the US, ending the informal honor system that was in place for years (via MacRumors).

You can finally avail an education discount on the Apple Watch
It's Apple broadening its ecosystem play into a segment that previously had no wearable entry point, and that could meaningfully accelerate Apple Watch adoption among younger first-time buyers.

Apple’s Education Store has always been a reliable shortcut to cheaper Macs and iPads for students and teachers. However, for years, Apple Watch wasn’t allowed into the story, making people wait for third-party sales or discounts to get their hands on the smartwatch. 

That’s changing, with effect from May 8, 2026. Apple has quietly added the Apple Watch to its Education Store for the first time. The Watch Series 11, SE 3, and the Ultra 3 are now available at discounted education pricing across 21 markets, including the US, UK, India, Canada, and Australia.

Whoop’s response to Fitbit Air and Google Health is real doctors, not just an AI chatbot.
In the race to own your health data, Google chose an AI, and Whoop chose a doctor. That single decision may define which fitness tracker serious health users reach for in 2026 and beyond.

Recently, Google launched the Fitbit Air as a direct rival to the Whoop screenless fitness band, rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health, and released a Gemini-powered AI coach. Exactly one day later, Whoop has responded with on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians for US users. 

The contrast is hard to ignore. While Google is betting on AI as your general health advisor, Whoop is doubling down on real, licensed doctors, and making the case that they can serve its fitness-focused users considerably better (via CNBC).
