Madhya Pradesh rain: Eight killed across three districts in two days
BHOPAL: Continued heavy rains in Madhya Pradesh are causing flooding in rivers, rain-fed nullahs and house collapses, killing at least eight people in just two days. On Saturday, an elderly couple died when their makeshift hut in the Burhar area of Shahdol district collapsed amid heavy rains. The elderly couple, identified as Jawaharlal Mahra (~70) and his spouse Maniya Mahra (~65), were surprisingly living in a makeshift hut built right outside their pucca PM Awas Yojana house. In the adjoining Anuppur district of eastern MP, a family of four were swept away along with their car by a flooded nullah in Kirar Ghat area on the Amarkantak-Rewa Road on Sunday evening. The incident happened at around 6.30 pm when a sudden surge of rain water in the nullah swept the car stuck on the culvert. The search operations by the State Disaster and Emergency Response Force (SDERF) team started in the night only and led to the recovery of the womans body. The search operation was restarted in the morning, resulting in recovery of husbands body in the morning followed by retrieving of the bodies of the two kids, including an eight-year-old boy and a year-and-half old girl, a few hours later, sub divisional officer police (SDOP-Anuppur) Sumit Karketa said.

I'm not losing sleep over Elon Musk's political ambitions
Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted , with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer independence from a political system Musk says is too focused on waste & graft. Like so many things Musk says, its not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is. But, also like so many things Musk says, its likely the idea of an America Party will wither away as quickly as it was conceived. Naturally, where Musks putative America Party stands on the big issues will be a key focus for some voters. So far, the billionaire has outlined the party would [CITATION NEEDED], [TO BE DECIDED] and [ RON SWANSON MEME ]. Its likely Musk would, as he did at the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE), swing the hammer at whatever remains of the government. To justify such destruction, Musk would likely say he is interested in reducing the US debt burden and curbing inflation. It has already drawn interest from a number of wealthy high profile figures who see some value in having a billionaire in control of a political party. If all the talk about shrinking the government sounds familiar, its because its the position of both the Libertarian Party and the crap your 12 year-old nephew says after spending too much time on Reddit and YouTube. It will likely contain the same lapses in logic you find whenever you listen to anyone in that sphere for too long. For example, demanding the US reduce the effective tax rate to zero while still, somehow, funding lavish R&D projects to maintain the countrys technological lead. As of now, this partys goal presumably is not to get Musk into the White House. He was born in South Africa and is consequently ineligible to run for high office unless he can get two thirds of the House and Senate to amend the Constitution . Consequently, the America Party may have Musk as its figurehead, but people will actually be voting for his patsy electoral proxy. But, while Im sure there are hundreds of credulous citizens willing to take on the role of Elons Puppet (Im sure the DOGE staff list alone would do), it might be a harder sell to the voters en masse. Not to mention the US has a structural disclination toward anything but the two-party system, where third party candidates are treated with disdain. At best, third parties act as spoilers for the Democratic and Republican nominees, like Ralph Naders run in 2000 . You might argue that were living in a different world now, where a tech-friendly, and tech-savvy figure would do differently. Thats because you, like pretty much everyone else, have forgotten about Andrew Yangs hang-on-let-me-Google-it Forward Party . And thats before we get to the biggest issue of them all, which is the near-mortal wounding of Musks own reputation. In the last decade, Musks mainstream brand has gone from well-respected innovator (regardless of if that was justified or not) to erratic manchild. He may own a vast bully pulpit in the form of Twitter / X, but that may only endear him to the sorts of people who would pay for Verification and buy Cybertrucks, but nobody else. Is that broad enough of a coalition to overcome the entrenched advantages the big two parties have in American society? Its a significant challenge since Musk has alienated a large portion of those well-heeled EV-buying progressive types in his customer base. They may have been volunteer evangelists for the technology and, by extension, his car company, but they arent too thrilled about the chaos DOGE has wrought, or anything else Musk has done. Meanwhile, his recent spat with Dear Leader, too, has likely rendered him persona non grata with many Republicans. Ironic, really, given that theres actually plenty of energy in the US for a real alternative political party in 2023 Gallup found 63 percent of Americans were in favor of one . But while some pollsters believe Musks brand would carry a third party , his actual record in politics does not. Earlier this year, Musk got directly involved in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, spending $25 million to support Republican-affiliated candidate Brad Schmiel. Musk also offered voters gifts of $1 million and wore a Cheesehead Hat at a campaign rally. But it was Schmiels opponent, the Democratic-backed Susan Crawford, who won with 55.02 percent of the vote. Its likely undecided voters might also wonder if Musks negotiating savvy is good enough for a seat at the top table. After all, Musk successfully backed Trumps election, but may have done so with the hope of preserving many of Teslas carve-outs. Given the so-called Big Beautiful Bill will swiftly do away with all of the EV tax credits that helped make Teslas attractive, its not as if Musk succeeded. In fact, given the backlash against Musk has seen Tesla deliveries fall by nearly 60,000 cars compared to the same period last year, perhaps hes the last person who voters would want representing them on the international stage. So, a political party founded by someone with an erratic track record in business whose personal brand has fallen quite sharply in recent years and who is mired in controversies. Unfortunately, it turns out the American electorate loves an unstable weirdo who sucks at business! Voters can take heart, though, by remembering that Musks words so rarely turn into action .

India will work to define BRICS in new form under its presidency, says PM Modi at Rio summit
Under its presidency, India will work to define BRICS in a new form and it will be 'Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the summit of the grouping on Monday. India will hold the BRICS presidency next year. In an address at a session on environment and global health, Modi also said that the health of the earth and the health of people are connected to each other. For India, climate justice is no alternative; it is a moral duty, Modi said, adding: Where some people measure it in numbers, India lives it in values. The prime minister also indicated India's possible priorities during its presidency of the BRICS grouping. Under India's BRICS presidency, we will work to define BRICS in a new form. BRICS will mean -- Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability, he said. Modi also underlined the need to remain prepared for any eventualities. The COVID pandemic taught us that viruses do not come taking visas, and solutions, too, are not chosen by looking at passports, he said. The prime minister also said the developing nations must have the same confidence about the future that the developed nations have. The self-confidence about the future that developed countries have -- the same self-strength should also be in these countries, he added. Trump vows extra 10 per cent tariff against countries 'aligning' with BRICS; bloc condemn 'indiscriminate' tariffs BRICS must work to secure critical minerals supply chain PM Modi also called for BRICS nations must work together to make supply chains for critical minerals and technology secure and ensure that no country uses these resources for its own selfish gain or as a weapon against others. In his address at a session on multilateralism, financial matters and artificial intelligence on Sunday, Modi also called for creation of global standards for use of AI to maintain transparency and prevent misuse. The prime minister's comments on critical minerals came amid concerns over China restrictions on the export of the vital resources as well as its non-transparent policy approach in the sector. We need to work together to make supply chains for critical minerals and technology secure and reliable. It's important to ensure that no country uses these resources for its own selfish gain or as a weapon against others, Modi said. Critical minerals such as lithium, nickel and graphite are considered vital for high-end technology products including electric vehicles (EVs), drones, and battery storage. China has been a dominant player in the critical minerals supply chain globally. On artificial intelligence, Modi said it can greatly improve everyday life but on the other hand, it also raised concerns about risks, ethics, and bias. The prime minister announced that India will organise the AI Impact Summit next year. We believe that resolving concerns and encouraging innovation should be given equal importance in AI governance. We must work together for responsible AI, Modi said. Global standards must be created that can verify the authenticity of digital content, so that we can identify the source of the content and maintain transparency and prevent misuse, he said. At BRICS, PM Modi warns nations supporting terror 'must pay the price' as bloc slams Pahalgam attack The push for Global South In his remarks, the prime minister also talked about efforts by BRICS to help the Global South. In the form of BRICS New Development Bank (NDB), we have offered a strong and credible alternative to support the development aspirations of countries in the Global South, he said. At the same time, he said the NDB must focus on demand-driven approaches, long-term financial sustainability, and healthy credit rating. Strengthening our internal systems will further enhance the credibility of our call for reformed multilateralism, he said. Modi said the countries of the Global South have some special expectations and aspirations from BRICS and it should work together to fulfil them. For instance, the BRICS Agricultural Research Platform, established in India, is a valuable initiative to enhance collaboration in agricultural research. It can become a medium for sharing research and best practices in topics such as agri-biotech, precision farming, and climate change adaptation. We can also extend its benefits to countries in the Global South, he said. The prime minister also proposed creation of a BRICS Science and Research Repository, which could also serve as a valuable resource for the countries of the Global South. The Global South has many hopes from us. To fulfil them, we must follow the principle of 'Lead by Example', he said. India is fully committed to working shoulder-to-shoulder with all our partners to achieve our common goals, he added. The top leaders of BRICS held deliberations on a range of pressing challenges facing the globe at the grouping's two-day annual summit in this seaside Brazilian city. Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin skipped the summit. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Egypt's Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi also didn't attend the gathering. The BRICS has emerged as an influential grouping as it brings together 11 major emerging economies of the world, representing around 49.5 percent of the global population, around 40 percent of the global GDP and around 26 percent of the global trade. BRICS, originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, expanded in 2024 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, with Indonesia joining in 2025.

Himachal government orders CID investigation over forest wood logs spotted afloat Pandoh Dam
CHANDIGARH: After a huge quantity of log woods were sighted afloat the Pandoh Dam recently, Himachal Pradesh Government has ordered an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over the issue. In an unusual phenomenon, the presence of large numbers of big logs and trees afloat the river following the torrential heavy rainfall due to cloudbursts that caused flash floods and massive landslides led to allegations of 'illegal felling of trees. Thus, taking strict cognisance of the incident, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has handed over the investigations to the CID. An official said that the state government has taken serious cognizance regarding the matter and would bring out the possible reasons behind the incident. The first and foremost reaction to the incidents of series of cloudbursts and floods was to save the lives of people and provide immediate relief to them, wherein effective measures were underway to bring back normalcy in the flood-hit regions, the official also said. The videos and photographs of wood flushing down the river and found floating in the Pandoh dam went viral on a few media platforms, raising public concern and prompting calls for investigation. While the government and the administration was busy helping people, the BJP made hue and cry regarding the forest wood without showing any sensitivity and concern for the ones affected by the cloudburst and flash floods, an official added. The BJP leaders were making irresponsible statements at the time of disaster which highlights that the Opposition is highly ignorant and selective when it comes to matters as the issues of illegal felling of trees were never inquired and no accountability was set during their tenure. Rather, the Van Mafia had clear support of the BJP and its government in the previous tenures of the BJP government in the state, he said. The official added that the present state government has set a goal to make Himachal Pradesh a 'Green Energy State' by March 31 2026 and any obstacle or act that stops the government from achieving its target would be dealt with under the rule of the law. A large quantity of forest wood floating in the Pandoh Dam reservoir of Mandi district had triggered a social media storm, with several users speculating that illegal tree felling in remote forest regions of Kullu district might be the root cause. A few days ago, HP State Forest Development Corporation Limited Vice Chairman Kehar Singh Khachi dismissed claims of illegal tree-felling as he claimed that the floating logs were only waste material. Due to the cloudburst, forest land has suffered a lot of damage, the wood that has come floating in the swelling water bodies is just the waste wood lying on the forest land that was not removed. These waste wood got stuck in a culvert built on the water bodies that was damaged and due to the breakage, the wood in large quantities can be seen floating in such a large quantity, he had said. Notably, boulders and large pieces of wood led to the jamming of the floodgates of the 100-MW Malana II hydropower facility, located on the Malana a tributary of the Beas river.

Game changer? Bundesliga tie-up gives Kerala football new dream
KOCHI: When Kerala Football Association (KFA) and Super League Kerala (SLK) shook hands with German Football Association (DFB) a month ago, it wasnt just another MoU. It was a quiet but bold play for Keralas footballing future. One that may take years to fully mature, but has the potential to transform the states footballing DNA from the grassroots up. At the core of the tie-up is a sister-club partnership between SLK teams and clubs from Germanys 3rd Division Bundesliga (3. Liga) a fiercely competitive professional league that has produced some of Germanys finest footballers. If things work out, each SLK club will now have a German counterpart, providing access to structured coaching, scouting, player development, and crucially, foreign player exchange. The Bundesliga 3rd division teams will provide us club and player management know-how and coaches training module. They will provide us coaches and players too. Thats because SLK teams can get six foreign players. So, instead of throwing money away outside, they can get players from the sister team itself. And their players get exposure here, KFA president Navas Meeran told TNIE. The longer-term goal is clear: develop a pipeline of Kerala-born players with the potential to play professional football in Germany. With exposure to European systems, Keralas footballing base could rise significantly in quality and ambition. Over a period of time, we will have good players. And because the German teams are connected with the clubs here, they will also see our good players. So, our players will get the opportunity to play in the Bundesliga 3rd division, Meeran pointed out. The commercial logic hasnt been lost either. Today, the broadcasting rights for English football is worth Rs 500 crore. Whereas Bundesliga does not have that. When the players become more popular, our people will start watching their matches. So, they will also benefit. Its a win-win situation, he said. While the SLK-German partnership takes shape, other such collaborations are blooming in Kerala. The Muthoot Football Academys tie-up with Borussia Dortmund promises to raise grassroots standards further. Dortmund one of Europes elite talent incubators will support world-class training and player exchange. Meeran sees the value in such partnerships. The plan is to nurture players through academies. Money is there. When Anwar Ali (India international defender) was transferred from Delhi FC to East Bengal, the club got a transfer fee of Rs 2.5 crore. Another aspect is that when clubs nurture footballers, their cost for players will come down. And they get a huge amount when they sell a player. Support is also growing at the community level. V-Guard-supported Parappur FC, formed under Parappur Sports and Education Trust, is scouting talent from ages 6 to 18, offering quality accommodation and allied facilities. Long-term strategy For SLK, the vision is long-term but strategic. The German Football Association has a great record for producing and managing some of the best young talents, said SLK CEO Mathew Joseph. Unlike money-minded football businesses, their contribution to the sport is always of top quality, be it coaches, trainers or any kind of facilities. Thats the reason SLK chose to collaborate with German football, he said. The academy SLK is planning to set up near Kottayam is in the phase of scouting

17-year-old Kerala teen hitchhikes through 20 states, dreams of conquering Everest
KOZHIKODE: A 17-year-old from Kozhikode has accomplished a journey that remains a distant dream for many, even adults. While most teenagers spent their Class 11 vacation preparing for entrance exams or relaxing at home, Abin Babu set out on an extraordinary solo adventure, travelling through 20 Indian states and Nepal. With little money in hand, he relied on hitch-hiking and the kindness of strangers to turn his travel dreams into a remarkable reality. It wasnt the first time Abin had ventured out alone. His first solo trip happened during his Class 10 vacation, when he travelled across several northern states over 50 days. Convincing his family to let him travel alone was no easy task. When I was 14, my father fell ill and was admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru. I had to travel alone to visit him. That experience changed my life, Abin tells TNIE. The trip helped him realise the freedom and the confidence that comes with solo travel. So, by the time my Class 10 exams were over, I was determined to go on a long trip to north India. At first, my parents thought I was joking, but eventually, I stood firm on my decision, he says. Abins first journey was carefully planned, travelling by train and visiting only popular destinations. But this time, armed with experience, he took a bolder route. For this journey, I didnt travel by train or bus. I hitchhiked, taking lifts from interstate lorry drivers and any vehicle I could find along the way. I stayed and ate at gurudwaras, temples, churches... wherever I could find shelter, Abin says. Abin babu My ambition is to travel the world, says Abin babu In Arunachal Pradesh, a priest from Kerala warmly welcomed him to his church and even arranged a classroom for Abin to stay in for a few nights. Ill never forget that kindness, he says. Among the many memories from his trip, Abin counts his trek to the Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal the base of the 10th highest peak in the world as his greatest achievement so far. I trekked alone, with limited food and water. The experience was unforgettable, he says. Managing communication with his family was one of the bigger challenges. I was strictly instructed to call home every day. When I reached areas without network coverage, I would inform them in advance that I might not be able to call for a day or two. Gradually, it became routine, he explains. Abins family, understandably, was anxious about his solo travels at such a young age. I never wanted him to go, says his mother, Lissy. I faced a lot of questions from relatives and family members. But he kept persuading us, and in the end, we had no choice. While the family gained confidence after his first trip, they still made it a point to call him every single day. If, for some reason, he missed a call, we would become very anxious. So he made it a habit to call daily, send us pictures, and share the details of each days journey, she points out. Now, though, Lissy is a proud mother. Im happy that hes learning to be independent early, she adds. Abin completed his 80-day adventure with just Rs 28,000, money he saved from part-time work. My ambition is to travel the world. After completing Class 12, Im definitely going on another journey. Trekking is my favourite, and Mount Everest is my next goal, he proclaims with a smile.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sets Sights On Double Century After Record Youth ODI Ton
Vaibhav Suryavanshi: India U19 star Vaibhav Suryavanshi has set his next big target scoring a double century in Youth ODIs after a record-breaking knock against England U19 in the fourth Youth ODI. The 14-year-old smashed a sensational 143, bringing up his century in just 52 balls the fastest-ever hundred by any batter in Youth ODIs. In a video shared by BCCI on social media, Vaibhav opened up about his innings and revealed his next goal. Inspired by India captain Shubman Gills hunger for runs, Vaibhav said: I got a lot of inspiration from him because I watched his game. Even after scoring 100 and 200 runs, he kept playing and kept taking the team forward. I had in mind that I could have played longer because I had a lot of time left. There were 20 overs still remaining. There was one shot where I didnt give my 100% and thats why I got out. I will try to play for a long time like him. Reflecting on his dismissal, Vaibhav expressed regret at missing out on a bigger score: I feel bad that I got out on 143 in the Under-19 match. I had plenty of time but one shot where I didnt give my 100% ended my innings. I had in mind that I could have played longer because I had a lot of time left. There were 20 overs still remaining. There was one shot where I didnt give my 100% and thats why I got out. I will try to play for a long time like him.

Apple has just three smartwatches in its current lineup. We think the flagship Apple Watch Series 10 is the best for most people, but athletes and outdoor enthusiasts might be happier with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 . The budget model, the Apple Watch SE , offers a surprising array of features for the price. All three are excellent companions for your iPhone and all do a great job of tracking health and fitness stats. This guide to the best Apple Watch breaks down the differences in sensors, case design and more to help you decide which model makes the most sense for you. Table of contents Best Apple Watch in 2025 What to look for in an Apple Watch How we tested Apple Watches Apple Watch comparison chart Best Apple Watch in 2025 What to look for in an Apple Watch Like all Apple products, Apple Watches will only work with other devices from the brand's ecosystem. You won't be able to pair any Apple Watch to your Android phone. Note that you can pair other wearables (like a Garmin tracker or a Fitbit band) with your iPhone. There are some more features that are specific to Apple Watches and that set each of the three models apart from one another. Chips and sensors The new Apple Watch Series 10 has an S10 SiP (system in a package) chip with a four-core Neural Engine. The Ultra 2 was updated last September with Apples S9 SiP. Both chips allow for on-device processing of Siri requests as well as dictation, translation, automatic workout detection and the Double Tap gesture that lets you answer calls or stop an alarm by tapping your thumb and forefinger together twice. It also enables faster machine learning performance for interpreting sensor data, speech recognition and performing other thinking tasks. The Apple Watch SE still relies on the S8 SiP, which was also used in the Series 8 and the original Ultra. Both the Series 10 and Ultra 2 can measure certain vital signs like heart rate, and both have an ECG app. Temperature sensors can help track ovulation, while underwater temperature sensors may come in handy while swimming and snorkeling. Both also support fall-detection and crash-detection as a safety feature. All three models have a compass and altimeter. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has an onboard SOS siren, as well as dive features like a depth gauge. Water features were added to the Apple Watch Series 10, but with a shallower depth rating (just six meters, as compared to 40 meters on the Ultra). The Ultra includes blood oxygen sensors, but a patent dispute has forced Apple to disable that health feature on new models sold in the US and the hardware isnt present in the new flagship model. All three models support near field communication (NFC), the chip that enables Apple Pay. Once you set it up using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, you can pay for stuff at any store that accepts Apple Pay, even if you don't have your phone with you. Displays and case sizes The wide-angle OLED display on the Apple Watch 10 lets you see the always-on display from more angles. The Ultra 2 also has an always-on display, but youll have to lift your wrist to tell time or read notifications on the SE. The SE can reach a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, the Series 10 can get as bright as 2,000 and the Ultra 2 hits 3,000 nits. Both higher-end screens can dim to a single nit, making them less distracting in the dark. The Apple Watch Series 10 came with a new finish and case material a glossy anodized jet black finish on the aluminum model and the option for a titanium case. The Ultra 2 also got a new finish, satin black, that utilizes a PVD (physical vapor deposition) process to apply the color. As for case sizes, the SE is available in 40 or 44mm. The Series 10 increased in size from the prior generation and now has a choice of a 42 or 46mm case. The Ultra 2 comes in just one size measuring 49mm. You also get the opportunity to pick the length and style for watch bands. The SE and Series 10 come in small/medium or medium/large and the Ultra 2 gives you the choice of small, medium or large. The Series 10 (left) and Series 9 (right). Cherlynn Low for Engadget Battery life Since its the largest wearable, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 sports the biggest battery and can last for a claimed 36 hours on a charge. That number jumps up to 72 hours if you turn on low power mode. Both the Apple Watch 10 and the SE are rated by Apple to go for 18 hours before they need a visit to the charger, and longer when using battery saver mode. That means if you want to use either of those models regularly for sleep tracking, you may need to recharge them a bit before bed. Fitness and wellness features Believe it or not, all three Apple Watches have similar fitness tracker chops. The Activity app uses three rings to keep tabs on how much youre moving in a day: The Move ring tracks your active calories; the Exercise ring monitors the minutes youve spent walking, running, doing yoga and so on; and the Stand ring tells you how many hours in a day youve stood up and moved around for at least one minute. Different internal sensors detect those activities, for example the accelerometer senses when youre moving versus sitting still, and the optical heart rate sensor judges how hard you're working out and how many calories youve burned. You can set your goals for each ring and youll earn badges and animations when you hit them. The Workout app lets you start and track an exercise session. The sensors can even auto-detect when youre working out, tapping your wrist to suggest you track the activity. Apple Watches will integrate with Apples Fitness+ subscription, displaying real time heart rate and calorie burn data on your iPhone, iPad or even Apple TV 4K as you take a class. Fitness+ also includes audio-guided walks and runs with just your watch and Bluetooth earbuds. All three models support the Activity and Workout apps for free. The Fitness+ app also works with all Apple Watches, but costs $10 per month. New features enabled with watchOS 11 include Training Load that gauges your bodys response to workouts over time, which could help athletes better prepare for events like marathons. Users can also now skip a day (or more) from fitness tracking metrics when they need to rest or arent feeling up to the challenge of closing their rings. The new OS also supports offline maps , which could prove useful when hiking far from cellular coverage. Upcoming features of the next operating system ( watchOS 26 ) will include an AI Workout Buddy to coach you through your next run via your connected Airpods. Siri You can get the weather, start a workout, identify a song and dictate a text just by asking Siri. All Apple Watch models support the Raise to Speak feature that bypasses the need to say Hey Siri and will instead listen for your request when you lift your wrist near your mouth. Both the Series 10 and the Ultra 2 utilize onboard processing of Siri requests. That means executing simple requests like starting workouts and timers are quicker, as they wont need to access external networks. However, requests like sending texts or getting weather forecasts still need to communicate with Wi-Fi or cellular, so youll need to have your phone nearby if you have a GPS-only model. Carbon neutral options The Apple Watch Series 9 with the aluminum case was the company's first carbon neutral product. Apple defines its carbon neutral products as those that use 100 percent clean electricity for manufacturing and product use, 30 percent recycled or renewable material by weight and 50 percent of shipping without the use of air transportation. Combined, Apple says those changes reduced the emissions by around 75 percent, and the company will use credits so make up for the remaining emissions. Currently, the Apple Watch Series 10 in either aluminum or titanium with the sport loop band, braided solo loop or Milanese loop, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the trail loop or alpine loop bands are designated as carbon neutral products. Price Theres a $550 difference between the cheapest and most expensive Apple Watches. For $250 (and often on sale for less), you can get the 40mm Apple Watch SE with GPS-only connectivity; adding cellular connectivity ups the price by $50. The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399 for the 42mm, non-cellular model in aluminum and goes as high as $749 for the 46mm titanium case (which is only available with GPS and cellular). The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has just one price: $799 for a titanium 49mm case with both GPS and cellular power though if you want the titanium Apple Watch Band, the price goes up. For any model you pick, you'll probably also want a few Apple Watch accessories , so you may want to factor that into your purchasing decision. How we tested Apple Watches Engadget has been reviewing Apple Watches since the first one came out in 2015 . Since then, weve tested every subsequent model Apple has released , including the Ultra and SE models , spending at least a few days or even a couple weeks with one strapped to our wrists. During that time, we run, hit the gym, go on hikes and wear it while sleeping, all the while gauging how it tracks various metrics, integrates with the iPhone and performs every other trick Apple claims its smartwatches can do. Since we also review smartwatches from other companies, such as Samsung and Google , our editors can compare Apple Watches not just to previous generations, but also to other wearables on the market. Our buying guides and recommendations rely on first-hand testing by Engadget staff.
