RAW Ring founder Marina Anderson claims this emotional surveillance could help deepen relationships.
That’s a momentous milestone. Apple isn’t doing a huge thing today — it’s just launched Global Close Your Rings day and you can pick up a physical pin in store if you do. That said, today’s a fun day for a blast from the past and re-reading The Verge’s very first Apple Watch review. (And if you’re so inclined, a little retrospective I wrote just before the Series 10 launch in September.)
The feature is part of “Performance Predictions,” a feature for subscribers that uses a “machine learning model” to give you estimated finish times for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon races, Strava says.
Eric Migicovsky, the creator of the original Pebble watch who’s also resurrecting the wearable, shared a picture of the upcoming Core 2 Duo smartwatch’s USB-C charging dongle on X, as spotted by 9to5Google.

After the September Pixel Watch update to Wear OS 5 ran into issues, Google released a fix in November and said its wearables would have to wait until March for another update.
However, that March update and Google’s first attempt at an April update introduced some bugs of their own, and now it’s rolling out the April update again (version BP1A.250305.019.W8) to hopefully get Pixel Watch owners on Wear OS 5.1 without all of those problems.

One of the more obscure toys of the ‘80s was a line of digital watches from Japan’s Takara called the Kronoform that could transform into vehicles, creatures, and even a robot. Hautlence’s modern take trades digital timekeeping for a self-winding mechanical movement featuring a tourbillon to improve accuracy.
The Retrovision ‘85 is also made from 3D-printed titanium instead of plastic, and since just eight are being made, you can expect a steep price tag.
The glasses seem like they could be similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans, based on a report from The Information. It’s unclear when they might come out or what regions they could be available in.
