It's all about the Pixel Watch 5's new health and safety features today
The Pixel Watch 5 sports the same design, dimensions, display, and battery life as the Pixel Watch 4. So what's actually new? In addition to improved GPS tracking accuracy for outdoor workouts and faster/more efficient processing power, the Pixel Watch 5 supports three unique new wellness tools: Breathing Emergency Detection — which works similarly to Loss of Pulse Detection — Blood Pressure Trends, and Insulin Resistance Trends.
Our senior fitness writer, Dan Bracaglia, has gone hands-on with the new watch — read his early verdict of the Pixel Watch 5 here.

Previously unseen Nintendo carts have emerged
I used to be a big-time retro game collector, so when I see a story about rare classic games emerging, it always piques my interest. Apparently, nearly 100 never-before-seen Nintendo carts were found in a Wisconsin game shop.
It turns out, 100 copies of a rare version of one of the most common games of all time have popped up. This version of Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt, the NES pack-in, has different screws, labels, motherboards and manuals than other releases, making it highly collectible.
