Make him shine as bright as you

Not every successful woman needs a man. But if you happen to have one in your life, it doesn’t hurt if he can look as pristine as you.

What better way to elevate his look than with a premium timepiece that looks smart and is actually smart.

The Magic number is 12. There’s that thing about 12 days of Christmas. In the Philippines, the Watch GT 2 Pro retails for roughly around PhP 12,000. So here are 12 reasons to make each thousand of that purchase count.

1. It’s gorgeous and will elevate your man’s confidence

Here’s the deal. It’s possible your man looks like a walking half-peeled potato. But have him wear the watch and he’ll instantly feel like a BTS member. Now, he may still look like a potato, but now he’s a potato with swagger. The best thing anyone can wear is confidence and this can totally help with that.

2. It won’t break easily

A luxurious timepiece that will likely stand the test of time? Yep, that’s that this is. The sapphire glass that the watch face is made of is on stubborn son of a b***. It’s as tough as they come.

3. It’s customizable

Nothing’s more empowering than knowing you can tweak things to your taste. With One Hop Watch Face, you can use whatever image is in your file as the Watch Face. Neat!

(Only works when paired with a Huawei smartphone running EMUI 11 and up).*

4. It can track a bajillion workouts

We’re going to assume the hyperbole didn’t fly over your head. Think of an activity, and there’s a good chance the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro can support it. It likely can find and track a workout that your man can stick with. This means your man can go from looking like a potato to looking like a french fry (which is a snacc. Get it?) 😉

5. It can lead your man back to you

Let’s say your man decides to transform from potato to french fry and starts with some light jogging around your neighborhood. But he got too into it and doesn’t realize he’s in the part of the neighborhood he’s not familiar with. The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro has a GPS Route Back feature that will let him find his way back into your loving arms.

6. Encourage him to pick-up a sport

Other than tracking workouts, it can also track bajillion sports. There’s badminton, tennis, bowling, volleyball, and even golf! These are all fun sports that you can do together!

7. You can check how much you make his heart flutter

Okay, that’s probably not what the heart rate meter is for but it’s a fun concept, right? It is, of course, useful for many other things but this one is cute to try. Throw an “aegyo” (cute gesture) his way and see how much his heart rate spikes.

8. You can find out why he’s being grumpy

Is your man acting aloof or just plain out of it? Ask him to check his stress levels on Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro. If it returns an alarming number, ask him what’s up and you guys can resolve the problem together. 💕

9. Make sure he gets your messages

The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro lets you have full control on which notifications you get. Make sure he has notifications turned on for the messaging app you two use the most. That way, he always gets those sweet nothings from you.

A message from babe 💕

10. Decide whether you’re going out for a safe social-distancing date or staying in to Netflix and chill 😏

One glance on the watch and you’ll get a sense of what the weather is like on a particular day. This will help you determine whether you’ll spend some time out or just have some snuggle time indoors.

11. You don’t have to worry about charging it everyday

Let’s face it. Several smartwatches require some juicing up after just a day. Well, not this one. Even if you push the battery to the limit by enabling all the features, you’ll still get AT LEAST five days without charging it. It’s long-lasting just like your man. 😉

12. You can take cute couple photos!

It has a remote shutter feature that will free up your hands and let you do all the silly couple poses you’ve been wanting to do. Just prop your phone up somewhere and use the watch as the shutter!

Christmas Promo

If you buy the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro (PhP 11,999) from November 27 to December 31, you’ll get a FREE entertainment package consisting of a notebook, multi-connector, and blue speaker. Combined those are worth PhP 2,099.

This deal is available in all Huawei stores as well as online and offline retailers.

Hotel Sogo launches ‘AI’ concept rooms

‘The future of hotels’

Published

Popular short-stay accommodation Hotel Sogo has revealed its AI-tech concept rooms, showing guests the future of its hotel rooms.

In a video posted by Hotel Sogo on YouTube, the company showcased new services powered by AI technology.

Among them are a self-service kiosk which has a virtual assistant to speed up the check-in process. This kiosk allows guests to choose their room, length of stay, and check-in and check-out times.

Once the transaction has been settled, automated robots will guide the guests to their rooms, instead of porters. These machines are somewhat similar to Dunkin’s robot servers called Number 1 launched a few years back.

The rooms have also replaced keycard slots with scanners. Guests only have to scan the unique QR code provided to them to be able to enter and enjoy their stay.

Inside, the room supports a voice control system, so visitors can turn on the air-conditioning unit, television, and more. Furthermore, there is a wireless charging pod on one of the side tables.

To heighten the ambience, a ceiling projector is included to flash visual effects. To top it all off, even the bathroom has an automated body dryer with silver ion antibacterial treatment.

Hotel Sogo has not yet announced which branches will have such rooms, but it is definitely something couples, families, and groups of friends will look forward to soon.

Even dating apps have been utilizing AI’s capabilities too. Bumble has released a new AI-powered feature called Deception Detector to combat catfishers on the app.

As the name suggests, this feature uses AI to help identify spam, scam, and fake profiles so less users will be victimized. Within the first two months of the Deception Detector’s rollout, reports for such accounts reduced by 45%.

According to research from Bumble, fake profiles and risk of scams are among the top concerns when online dating. Moreover, 46% of women surveyed expressed anxiety over the legitimacy of their online matches on apps.

Thankfully, the Deception Detector has a fast and reliable machine learning-based model to assess the authenticity of profiles. The feature has helped in blocking 95% of spam/scam profiles automatically. Dedicated human support are also on standby to keep the community safe.

This latest release is just part of Bumble’s latest innovations across its products, and aligned with the company’s history of combating misogyny, harassment, and toxicity.

Previously, Bumble introduced Private Detector which also uses AI to blur lewd nude images. Best Bees, an AI algorithm that provides higher a level of curation for members, was also recently released.

Tinder now lets friends and family choose matches for you

It’s called the Matchmaker feature

Published

An essential part of the Tinder experience is getting your friends’ usually constructive critique of potential matches. If you’re someone who seeks a friend’s approval before swiping right, the dating service is making the experience official. Tinder users can now ask friends and family for matching suggestions.

Dubbed the Matchmaker, the feature will let a user’s close circle interact with their profiles in a meaningful way. Using the feature will generate a link which users can share with up to 15 different people. They don’t even need a Tinder profile to start recommending. Anyone, even those without Tinder, can participate in a Matchmaker session.

Once created, a session will last 24 hours. Participating matchmakers will go through a series of profiles for the user. As always, they can swipe right on profiles that they think will match well with their friend. After the 24 hours, the original user can review who their friends recommended to them. Recommended profiles will show up with a label. Notably, rejected profiles will still show but without any sort of mark.

To be clear, the Matchmaker feature will not replace the original user. No matter how many profiles a user’s friends recommend, only the user themselves have the final say on whether they swipe right or engage in conversation with the recommended profile.

At its best, the new feature gives users an additional filter when selecting a potential match on the platform. At its quirkiest, it allows family members to vet matches for their single loved one. And, at its worst, it’s still a bit of fun to come up with funny matches for a friend.

The Matchmaker feature is available now in 15 countries around the world.
