Google prices itself way above Apple and Samsung, with slower hardware.

It includes a new temperature sensor, which Apple says “takes its commitment to women’s health even further.” The Series 8 also includes two new motion sensors to detect if you’ve been in a severe car crash. It’ll be available starting September 16th and will cost $399 for the GPS model and $499 for the cellular model.

Late last week, we heard that the upcoming Pixel Watch could have a years-old CPU in the Exynos 9110. This was, understandably, not the greatest news for those interested in the first wearable with a Google logo.

You’re still going to have to wait.

Apple's most advanced Watch wants to be part of every part of your life – and it's got a lot of good reasons to be.

This is the first time we're hearing a specific release date for Google's rumored Apple Watch rival.

Back at CES 2020, Withings threw down the gauntlet with the ScanWatch, a sleek smartwatch it claimed could take electrocardiograms and monitor for respiratory disorders during sleep. It was incredibly ambitious, but since then, we’ve heard nothing but crickets. Now, after nearly two years, the Food and Drug Administration has finally granted the ScanWatch clearance for both its ECG and blood oxygen features.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic are the first watches in a very long time to be built on a platform that could provide Android users a credible smartwatch. I’ve been testing both for a week and they’re the best smartwatches I’ve ever used with a Samsung phone.

It’s rare for a flagship gadget to fail on every single front, and yet the OnePlus Watch has managed to pull it off. Every little thing went wrong when I tested this watch. It tracked every activity inaccurately. It said I was sleeping when I was awake. My step counts were off by more than 10,000 steps. I changed my measurements to the imperial system, but sometimes it showed me data using the metric system anyway, just for fun.

Luxury Swiss watchmakers, usually not big fans of online retailing, are launching a new all-digital Watches & Wonders event on Wednesday to display their latest products, hoping to revive sales hit by the coronavirus crisis.

A new smartwatch contender.

Samsung has been using its Tizen platform on smartwatches ever since 2014's Gear 2 line, but it might go back to its Android 'roots' in the near future.

It would be the first time Samsung had used Android on the wrist since early products like the Galaxy Gear and Gear Live.

The FDA has given NightWare clearance to market a “digital therapeutic” device that uses an Apple Watch to interrupt PTSD-related nightmares.

Wyze, the smart home company best known for its range of budget internet-connected security cameras, has announced its debut smartwatch. The Wyze Watch will be available in two sizes — 44mm and 47mm — when it ships in the US in February 2021, and like the rest of the company’s lineup, it’s priced affordably at $20. Wyze’s announcement follows the release of the company’s first fitness tracker, the $25 Wyze Band, earlier this year.

The SE will be the go-to smartwatch for many this year

Commentary: I started out a skeptic, but the Apple Watch eventually won me over. Here's what it took for me to take it seriously as a fitness tracker and smartwatch.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 will have some interesting gesture tracking controls to trigger various functions to go alongside its rotating bezels. Sources tipped Gizmodo off about the gesture controls and told it that Samsung has yet to settle on the Galaxy Watch 3 name. That could suggest Samsung might be looking at a new brand name to separate its upcoming smartwatch from the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2.
