Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly set to introduce satellite texting and a non-invasive blood pressure tool in its upcoming Watch Ultra.
What Happened: &nbsp;The satellite feature will allow users to send texts via Globalstar Inc.&#8217;s (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSAT#AMEX">GSAT</a>) satellites without cellular or Wi-Fi, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-10/apple-plans-apple-watch-ultra-3-next-year-with-satellite-texting-and-5g">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.
This development positions the Ultra as the first mainstream smartwatch with satellite communication, potentially reducing the need for standalone devices like Garmin Ltd.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRMN#NYSE">GRMN</a>) inReach.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42381987/apple-faces-12b-lawsuit-for-dropping-csam-detection-while-google-and-meta-set-higher-standards-for-child-safety?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple Faces $1.2B Lawsuit Over Child Sexual Abuse Material Detection On iCloud — Tech Giant Says, &#8216;Urgently And Actively Innovating&#8217;</a>
The blood pressure monitoring tool, also expected in 2025, aims to alert users of potential hypertension, though it won&#8217;t provide specific readings, the report noted.
However, the feature has been delayed before.
Why It Matters: Apple intends to boost smartwatch sales by introducing new features after a period of stagnation.
The company's Wearables, Home, and Accessories division, which includes watches, has experienced a decline in revenue over the past two years.

Apple Watch Ultra Could Feature Satellite Texting And Blood Pressure Measurements: Here's What We Know

As the holiday shopping season begins to ramp up, the Consumer Discretionary sector is making waves. It is outperforming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500-index">the broader S&amp;P 500 Index</a>. The sector posted an impressive 11.02% gain in November, significantly outpacing the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 3.42% increase.
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) serves as a barometer of companies in the consumer discretionary sector in the U.S. The S&amp;P 500 Index, which tracks the board market, is mostly widely tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>), and the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>).
Driving the sector's strength are notable names like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Garmin Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRMN#NYSE">GRMN</a>), and Tapestry Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPR#NYSE">TPR</a>), all of which posted massive gains in November, signaling robust consumer spending trends and holiday optimism.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla: Powering Ahead With A 33% Surge</h2>
With a dominant 17.51% weight in the Consumer Discretionary index, Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla remains a force to be reckoned with, soaring 33% in November. The electric vehicle giant&#8217;s continued innovation and market leadership in EVs, paired with strong investor sentiment, have propelled it to the front of the pack. 
Whether it&#8217;s the new vehicle models or expanded global reach, Tesla&#8217;s meteoric rise is hard to ignore.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Garmin: Navigating To New Heights</h2>
Garmin Ltd. also made waves, with a solid 27.86% jump. Despite its smaller index weight of 0.82%, Garmin&#8217;s strong performance is a testament to the brand's loyal customer base and continued innovation in GPS technology and fitness wearables. 
As consumers look to track their health, fitness, and travel plans this season, Garmin is in the driver's seat.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tapestry: A Fashionable Trendsetter</h2>
Tapestry, the parent company of luxury brands like Coach and Kate Spade, saw a robust 27.02% gain in November, securing its place as a leading performer. The company's strong product offerings and growing consumer demand for luxury goods are positioning it for a stellar holiday season.
With a 0.36% weight in the index, Tapestry is a notable outlier, proving that even in challenging times, consumers are willing to splurge on high-quality fashion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Standouts</h2>
It's not just the big names; a slew of other Consumer Discretionary stocks also posted solid gains in November. Booking Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>) was up 17.49% and Expedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) gained 16.22%, benefiting from increased travel demand as holiday plans ramp up.
Cruise operators Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>), up 16.16%, and Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), up 15.07%, surged amid optimism around travel bookings. Outdoor apparel maker Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>), rising 15.58%, and Domino's Pizza Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>), up 15.26%, also stood out as consumers embraced leisure and discretionary spending.
The strong showing of the Consumer Discretionary sector signals that Americans are feeling confident about their spending habits heading into the holiday season. 
With top performers like Tesla, Garmin, and Tapestry leading the charge, the sector is on track to continue its upward momentum. As the holidays approach, investors may want to keep a close eye on these names as they navigate the season of giving.
