Samsung's latest Galaxy Watch 3 is easily one of my favorite smartwatches in recent memory. The hardware is gorgeous, with a perfectly circular display and a rotating bezel that gives out a satisfying click with every turn, and the software experience is terrific, despite not running Google's Wear OS platform.Actually, it's great because it doesn't run Wear OS; instead, the Galaxy Watch 3 operates on Samsung's Tizen platform, which I find feels far better laid out on a circular display, and offers a far more robust set of health- and fitness-tracking features.Black Friday's still a few weeks away, but we're already starting to see the deals come in — both the 45mm and 41mm sizes of the Galaxy Watch 3 have already been discounted, on sale for $60 off and $30 off, respectively.For larger wristsGalaxy Watch 3 45mm | 14% off at AmazonThe larger Galaxy Watch 3 comes with a texturized rotating bezel, along with a physically larger display and a bigger 340mAh battery that l...

Three paths, one V.In Cyberpunk 2077, players will experience a long story across sprawling Night City and the Badlands surrounding it. While the main story will be very close for everyone, your journey will start out quite differently depending on the Lifepath you choose.

Here's a list of all the gangs in Cyberpunk 2077.Cyberpunk 2077 gangs 6th StreetInitially founded by American veterans, 6th Street was meant to be a militia that protected neighborhoods from gangs.

NVIDIA has been one of the few companies supporting Android TV with streaming hardware that's powered by the operating system, with its two latest Shield TV and Shield TV Pro offerings being downright excellent.Here's the thing, though — NVIDIA isn't the only answer when it comes to getting Android TV inside your home.
