Amazon has the Google Pixel Watch 2 on sale for $70 off. The Wear OS 4-powered smartwatch arrived last fall with a new stress-tracking feature, slightly longer battery life and a better heart sensor, as Googles flagship wearable inches closer to rivals Apple and Samsung. Its current $330 sale price is a record low. The Pixel Watch 2 works with Android phones, so youll want to sit this deal out if you use an iPhone and dont plan on switching. But those with the right setup get a sleek device with a round (1.2-inch) screen. The watchs 41mm case (one size only) is lighter than its predecessor, thanks to its recycled aluminum material. It also has an IP68 water and dust resistance, meaning it has dust protection and can withstand half an hour of submersion in 1.5 meters of water. This latest model includes a stress-tracking feature that uses the watchs continuous electrodermal activity (cEDA) sensor to track changes in your skins electrical activity. This new sensor can point to possible signs of stress using a machine learning algorithm that incorporates heart rate, heart rate variability and skin temperature, Google explains. When the algorithm picks up on physical indicators of positive and negative stress, including excitement, the Body Response feature will send you a notification. Fitness tracking is likely one of the main reasons to buy a wearable like this, and Engadgets Cherlynn Low found the watchs Fitbit integration performed very well in our full review. Ive been wearing the Pixel Watch 2 alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 to all my workouts this week, and they generally showed similar results, she wrote when the smartwatch arrived last fall. It includes automatic workout start and stop prompts in case you forget to set up or end a session. The Pixel Watch 2s $330 sale price is for the LTE version of the Pixel Watch 2, so once you set it up with your wireless carrier, it can stay connected without needing you to keep your phone nearby. If you prefer the Wi-Fi-only version, its available for $300, which is $50 off its usual price.

Heinz, the iconic condiment brand, has launched a new program to assist immigrants in Brazil with the process of becoming naturalized citizens. With Reviews For Naturalization, the brand is inviting customers at burger joints across the country to leave positive reviews about immigrant employees. With a record 710,000 refugees from nations like Venezuela, Afghanistan and Ukraine residing in Brazil as of 2024, many have found work in the restaurant industry. However, obtaining letters of recommendation from employers can be challenging for newcomers who lack established professional networks and may struggle with language barriers. Stating that "All are welcome at this table," Heinz's program seeks to transform customer reviews into letters that can be submitted as part of naturalization applications.The concept emerged from Heinz's existing relationships with burger restaurants, which employ a significant refugee workforce. Patrons are encouraged to leave reviews focusing on individual immigrant staff members' service and work ethic. A glowing review about a "friendly server from Haiti" or a "diligent line cook from Syria" could help that employee demonstrate valuable skills and community integration to immigration authorities, potentially cutting bureaucracy time by half.Reviews For Naturalization developed with creative agency Africa and two years in the making positions Heinz as a brand committed to hospitality for all, regardless of background or circumstance. As displaced people frequently face hostility and barriers, how could your brand aid them with similarly practical tools? Like Heinz, could you involve your customers in reinforcing an ethos of community and support?

Paramount+ with Showtime annual subscriptions are half off right now, bringing the yearly cost down to $60 down from $120. You have to pay for the year up front, which is never fun, but the offer is available to both new and returning subscribers. Thats not a bad deal, considering you get content from two streaming services that have joined in a blessed union to become one. Paramount+ is home to all things Star Trek, yet that particular bonus seems to be shrinking all of the time. Its also home to the surprisingly funny Sonic-adjacent Knuckles TV show, which has a crazy fight scene featuring the 80-year-old, yet still iconic, Stockard Channing. Other notable releases on the streamer include the dad-approved Tulsa King, Jeremy Renners Mayor of Kingstown and that Halo adaptation that people compare unfavorably to Fallout. It's one of our favorite streaming services, even if Halo isn't quite up to snuff. Showtime has been around for decades and has a diverse lineup of shows, like Yellowjackets, Billions, Dexter, House of Lies and the list goes on and on. Its also home to Twin Peaks: The Return, my favorite show of the 2010s. The Chi just returned, which is a big deal to fans, and Ewan McGregors A Gentleman in Moscow looks decent. Its Showtime. You know the deal. This offer ends on July 14, so you have plenty of time to think about if you want to revisit Shameless or check out that Frasier reboot. Just remember to cancel once the year is up, as the subscription will auto-renew at the full price of the plan.
