Huish Outdoors announced a ton of updates to its Oceanic Plus app for the Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2. That includes a new freediving mode that allows divers to receive custom alarms for target depth, max dive time, sequential depth, surface time, and max session time. It supports freedives up to 130 feet.

My review of the latest Apple Watches is here. I’ll be here live from 12:30-1:30PM ET today answering any lingering questions about the new double tap gesture, S9 SiP, Siri, Precision Finding — you name it.

This time, it’s the Vivoactive 5. It’s been roughly four years since this smartwatch has been updated and it’ll now sport a shiny new OLED display and many of the new features introduced with the Garmin Venu 3 like nap detection and wheelchair mode. It’s actually kind of difficult to tell these two watches apart, now that the Vivoactive 5 no longer has an MIP display. (Though, as always, DC Rainmaker has an extensive list spelling that out.)

Earlier this year, Fitbit said the app would get a refresh this fall. Well, that refresh is rolling out starting today and simplifies the app down to three tabs — Today, Coach, and You. In a Keyword blog, Google notes you can now track workouts without a device and customize which metrics you see based on your goals.

9to5 Google has spotted some code snippets in the Galaxy Wearable app referencing a Galaxy Ring and a potential release date in 2024. The smart ring is expected to be similar to the Oura Ring in that it’s primarily envisioned as a health tracker.
