Smartwatch

You can now pre-order your choice of two new PebbleOS-powered smartwatches with ePaper displays that are practically identical to their older offerings circa 2016. Hurry, though, because they'll only be made in limited numbers.

The second of three rugged phones announced at CES 2025 in January has now been launched. Following a Kickstarter for the monstrous WP100 Titan, mobile tech brand Oukitel has revealed the direct-to-sale WP200 Pro – with a rather unusual feature.

If you're tired of using a boring ol' remote for controlling your devices, you might like the CenWatch. It's a smartwatch that scans the underside of your hand, allowing you to make multiple commands via simple midair hand gestures.

Eight years after Pebble wound down its beloved smartwatch business, the wearable is set to rise from the ashes and adorn your wrist in the near future. Its creator is building a small company to develop new watches just like the original.

Smartwatches can help improve our health and fitness. But a new report says it's important to consider what kind of bands we put on them, as several popular brands were found to contain high levels of a class of chemicals linked to health issues.

Polar's latest premium smart sportswatch has gone up for pre-order. The Vantage V3 features a sharp, bright AMOLED display, comes with offline maps, and packs a new sensor suite called Elixir that's more capable than any Polar wearable before it.

After pretty much all of the specs leaked online over the past few weeks, Google has now officially announced the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones, and the Pixel Watch 2 wearable.

Nothing has announced the first products from its budget sub-brand CMF, which includes the Watch Pro – a somewhat Apple-like smartwatch rocking a large AMOLED display, built-in GPS, more than a hundred sport modes, and a 13-day battery.

If you thought that last year's Apple Watch Ultra was a pretty impressive adventure wearable, there was clearly room for improvement as the second generation launches – with a much brighter display, double-tap control and on-watch Siri.

Though most smartwatches will offer analog-looking faces, companies like Withings have been offering a mix of both worlds for a number of years. Now the company has launched its latest flagship hybrid health tracker in the shape of the ScanWatch 2.

Exactly 10 years ago, Omate launched a funding campaign on Kickstarter for a standalone smartwatch called the TrueSmart. Now the company has launched the second generation, this time as a Wearable-as-a-Service platform for seniors and lone workers.

Amazfit has announced its latest wallet-friendly smartwatch, with the Bip 5 reportedly boasting the company's largest screen on a globally available product. The wearable also runs the health-focused Zepp OS platform – a first for the series.
