by

HUAWEI continues to strengthen (a lot) its line of watches. We already loved his last WATCH GT 6but now it brings something different. This is the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2, a lightweight device that is ideal for those who like running, although all without giving up being a complete smartwatch. And be careful, because brings a launch promo that is very worthwhile. Designed for running, but also for everyday life This new HUAWEI watch is, as we said above, very light. It has a titanium case and, with the strap, it weighs less than 45 grams. This will allow you to feel like you don’t have a thing on your wrist all day long, and that’s not to mention that you won’t suffer from annoying bounces when running. But, despite being compact and light, it has plenty of battery: offers up to 7 days of normal use which we can stretch to 14 days in its low consumption mode. Its use is very oriented to all those people who like to go running. Whether you are looking to improve or are already thinking about doing a marathon, with the WATCH GT Runner 2 you will have metrics that are not usually present in most watchessuch as ground contact time or the running ability index (RAI), a parameter that will help you evaluate each race and is based on pace and heart rate. More things to highlight. It has a new 3D floating antenna with a signal that is 3.5 times more powerful than the previous generation. What does that mean? That the watch will track each of your races much more accurately, without interruptions in areas with poor signal that can ruin the measurement of your times. All added to a ‘Smart Marathon Mode’, which allows you to both prepare for one of these events and manage your effort and recovery during it. But we must be clear about one thing: is a very complete smartwatch. Beyond the fact that it is compatible with both iOS and Android, it should be noted that it has an integrated ECG (so you can monitor your heart), microphone and is compatible with sensors from other manufacturers such as chest straps or pedometers. You have it cheaper, with two extra straps and more We always say that when it comes to a new device, it is better to wait. However, there are launch promos like the one for this HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 that make it worth jumping into it at the start. The price of the device is 399 euros, but if we use the code ‘ARN2XA‘, we can take advantage of a direct discount of 50 euros. Therefore, It remains at 349 euros in the HUAWEI Store. But that’s not the only thing that makes it worth it. In addition to the discount, We will also take two extra straps. This is ideal for two things: it allows you to change the design of your watch so you don’t get bored and it allows you to have spare parts. Along with these, we will also get what HUAWEI calls MultiPass, a package valued at 116 euros and that includes several benefits such as 90 days of HUAWEI Health+ or Komoot, among other things. {“videoId”:”x9zwr94″,”autoplay”:true,”title”:”The pendrive is not dead: 7 ways to give it a second life”, “tag”:”Webedia-prod”, “duration”:”856″} What if you also want headphones? Then one of the two packs that are available may suit you better. The first of them, called ‘Sports Pack‘, includes, in addition to this new watch, the two extra straps and the MultiPass, some HUAWEI FreeArc.

online sale on the day

by

Costco, the American chain that has been operating in Spain for more than ten years, has recently launched your online sales service with delivery on the same day. It does so together with Instacart, a delivery platform with which it already collaborates in North America. It’s not that the chain is having great results in our country, but she is convinced that her large-scale American business model can end up being profitable in Spain. What’s up with Costco?. The chain really represents in Spain the opposite of the model that predominates in the country: it charges for membership (about 36 euros per year), operates with giant warehouses of more than 15,000 square meters and sells products in a wholesale format. Now it goes one step further and enters a field that Mercadona, which we could consider its rival (although with different concepts), has already dominated for a long time: home delivery. How it works. Costco members in Spain can place orders through your website and receive them on the same day in Madrid, Bilbao, Seville and Zaragoza, the four cities where the chain has a physical presence. Prices are the same as in store, but there is a fixed service fee of 15 euros per order and a minimum purchase of 35 euros. The logistics model. Instacart, which manages the operation through Storefront Pro, says it will work with “European partner companies” for the selection, packaging and delivery of orders. According to its official statement, the logistics models “align with local laws, regulations and market conditions.” Just like account CincoDías media, in the United States, Instacart operates with a ‘gig economy’ model in which delivery people only charge for deliveries made, choose the orders they prefer and are rated by customers. This system, precisely, is what motivated the Government in Spain to approve Rider Law in 2021, which forces delivery workers to be hired. Between the lines. Costco maintains its loss-controlled strategy while building market share. Just like we explained In October, at that time the Spanish subsidiary had accumulated 150 million euros in the red since 2014, although in 2024 its sales shot up to 607 million and added 15% more partners. Now it is betting on a channel that can accelerate its growth without having to open more physical centers, something expensive and slow. The clash of models. Mercadona dominates Spain with a 28% market share, having achieved this through stores close to its customers and optimized margins. Costco, for its part, pursues volume, loyalty and gradual expansion. It remains to be seen whether or not the arrival of the online service can attract more customers and whether the American hypermarket model also has a place in Spain. Expansion in Europe. Along with Spain, Costco has launched the same service in France, where it operates in the metropolitan area of ​​Paris and Mulhouse. “This step enables a new level of accessibility and ease for its members,” said Chris Rogers, CEO of Instacart. For his part, Pierre Riel, executive vice president of Costco’s International Division, stressed that the service “complements the services we already offer” and represents “another step to make Costco more accessible.” Cover image | Marcus Reubenstein In Xataka | The white label has been conquering supermarkets for years. It has done so well that it is now the pillar of the Spanish diet

The RRP of it is 479.99 euros (529.99 euros for the version with footrest), so it is a direct discount of 200 euros. No need to apply any type of discount coupon or do anything strange: just follow the normal purchasing process. Time to talk about the chair in question. This Sihoo Doro C300 is one of the best products that this brand has. What stands out most about it, without a doubt, is its dynamic lumbar support. Unlike most of the chairs that we see in stores (which have fixed lumbar support), the C300 automatically adjusts to our posture, which means that we always have this part of the body well supported. In addition to this support, its backrest is designed to be flexible and responsive. In this way, even if we change our posture a little while sitting, we will feel that we always have direct contact between back and back. To this we must add its headrest, which is not only very wide, but can be adjusted both in height and depth and in rotation angle. In this way, we will always have the option of having our head supported. More things. The chair, being so configurable, is ideal for people of different heights and weights. In fact, the fact that the chair automatically adjusts to our posture makes it much easier (and much easier) to carry out long sessions without it being uncomfortable. And if we need a little respite, we can recline the backrest up to 130 degrees. At the materials level, the Sihoo Doro C300 is designed to be durable. It also has elastic mesh fabric, which we will appreciate when we use it in very hot weather. Finally, it should be noted its 4D armrests. These can not only be adjusted in height, depth and with lateral rotation (up to 75 degrees), but they will also move in coordination with the backrest. This, put more directly, will be great when reclining the backrest, since we will continue to have our arms supported at all times.

The sale of a 22 million euro mansion moves the axis of luxury on the Andalusian coast: to Sotogrande

by

The price of housing in Spain it doesn’t stop going upbut this unstoppable increase has not been a brake on closing the most expensive real estate sale in Andalusia. That the mansion protagonist of the unusual record have your own name It is already an indicator of the economic level to which this home points: Niwa, a mansion in Sotograndehas closed for more than 22 million euros. To put it in perspective, that price implies that its new owner has paid about 5,116 euros for each of the 4,300 meters built of this property. Taking into account that the average price in the province of Cádiz is about 2,249 euros/m2, places the operation at levels of the price of homes in premium areas of the big cities.​ Niwa: 4,300 m2 of sustainable luxury Niwa is located in The Seven, the most exclusive sector of the already exclusive luxury development The Sotogrande Reserve. The property occupies a 10,000 m2 plot on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean and facing Gibraltar, surrounded by the Los Alcornocales Natural Park.​ The mansion consists of 4,300 m2 built, distributed in nine suites, with an outdoor infinity pool, an indoor covered pool, spa, gym, cinema room, wine cellar and garage for eight cars. The project came from the pencils of Manuel Ruiz of ARK Architects and was carried out with construction techniques more advanced and sustainable with the environment since 95% of its structure was prefabricated in a factory and then assembled in the chosen location. This allowed us to reduce the impact on the environment and reduce emissions.​ Sotogrande began its development in the early 60’s as a private residential area with 24 hour security. It currently has five golf courses and is considered one of the most luxurious urbanizations and exclusive to southern Europe, which attracts foreign buyers for its designer mansions, its privacy and its proximity to exclusive services. In 2024, the average sales prices of their houses reached 1.9 million euros, with transactions reaching up to 17 million euros. Some of the new construction phases that were started were sold at 85% in phases such as Village Verde. Plots in the most exclusive areas of Sotogrande, such as The 15, start at three million euros, while in The Seven, where Niwa is located, they can exceed eight million euros per plot. “Over the last ten years, Sotogrande has invested in its facilities, maintaining its essence as a low-density, high-quality destination. It is very exciting to see how this positioning is increasingly relevant for our clients,” assured in statements to The Confidential Rita Jordão, Marketing Director of Sotogrande SA. Luxury moves south “The sale of NIWA marks the beginning of a new era for Sotogrande, where architecture and lifestyle multiply their value on the Costa del Sol and, I would dare say, on the entire Mediterranean coast. NIWA is a modern palace reinterpreted with a contemporary language that is situated halfway between the classic and the current, with a very special materiality,” confirmed its creator, pointing to a substantial change in the preferences of ultra-rich clients who seek to settle in Andalusia. Given the growth in popularity of these new luxury enclaveshistoric luxury areas, such as Marbella, are losing relevance after decades of urban pressure, and foreign buyers They have begun to set their sights on Sotogrande. “The record sale of NIWA firmly consolidates Sotogrande as a destination among the best in the world. What is happening is not a change of course, but a natural consequence of what Sotogrande offers is increasingly valued in the luxury market,” confirmed Jordão.

NVIDIA has billions at stake in China, the world’s largest semiconductor market. Chinese technology companies have placed orders for more than 2 million H200 chips valued at about $27,000 each, well above the company’s available inventory of 700,000 units, according to account the middle. But the regulatory situation is a powder keg: the United States has just authorized the sale with a 25% tariff, while China has not yet confirmed whether it will allow imports. Regulation. The Biden administration had banned the export of chips advanced AI to China, but Donald Trump reversed that policy last month allowing H200 sales with the aforementioned 25% tariff that goes directly to the US government. However, China has not yet given the official approval. According to BloombergBeijing plans to approve some imports this quarter, but only for select commercial uses. The military, sensitive government agencies, critical infrastructure and state-owned companies would be left out for security reasons. Protection. The payment terms transfer all of NVIDIA’s financial risk to its customers, who must commit capital without certainty that Beijing will approve the imports or that they will be able to deploy the technology as planned. According to account The average, although NVIDIA has always required advance payments from Chinese customers, deposits were sometimes allowed in lieu of full payment. Now the company is especially strict due to the lack of regulatory clarity. A recent scar. NVIDIA has reason to be cautious. Last year it had to write down $5.5 billion in inventory after the Trump administration abruptly banned the sale of the H20 chip to Chinathe most powerful product that it could then offer there. Although the United States has reversed that decision, China has since banned H20 shipments. This experience explains why the company prefers to ensure collection before any unforeseen regulatory event. Overwhelming demand. Chinese tech giants like ByteDance and Alibaba see the H200 as a significant improvement. This chip, currently NVIDIA’s second most powerful, offers approximately six times the performance of the now locked H20. According to Bloombergboth Alibaba and ByteDance have privately communicated to NVIDIA their interest in ordering more than 200,000 units each. Delivery times. NVIDIA plans to fill initial orders with existing stock, with the first batch of H200 chips expected to arrive before the Lunar New Year holiday in mid-February, according to account Reuters. The company has also approached TSMC to increase H200 production to meet demand in China, with additional manufacturing planned for the second quarter of 2026. The local competition. Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s Chinese rivals are gaining ground. And just as inform Bloomberg, local manufacturers such as Huawei have developed AI processors, including the Ascend 910Calthough its performance still lags behind the H200 for large-scale training of advanced models. On the other hand, Cambricon Technologies It also plans to significantly increase its production of AI chips in 2026, thus expanding its market share and filling the gap left by NVIDIA. What’s coming now. In the coming days it will be known if China makes a final decision on H200 imports. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, declared at CES this week that customer demand for H200 chips is “quite high” and that the company has “activated its supply chain” to increase production. Huang also noted that he doesn’t expect the Chinese government to make a formal statement about approval, but rather that “if purchase orders come in, it’s because they can make them.” Cover image | NVIDIA and Arthur Wang In Xataka | There is a new player in the race for the autonomous car and it is one that should worry Tesla a lot: NVIDIA
