Smartwatch

At a Climate Week NYC panel, Google policy manager Nicole Azores said the company is considering how to change its watch design, which currently has to be replaced entirely if damaged.

The app, which measures your sleep with the help of Snorlax and friends, can now help you track your nightly habits with your Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, or Fitbit.

I highly encourage everyone to read this breakdown from our former colleague Nicole Wetsman. It neatly summarizes the difference between wellness features like blood oxygen, versus detection features like EKG and sleep apnea.

In watchOS 11, all you gotta do is hold down the button and swipe through the options. Before you had to go into the Settings menu, which is no fun. Hopefully this helps folks get more use out of the button. Will definitely be giving this a whirl!

Before you preorder the new Apple Watch Series 10, you might want to consider Taito’s new smartwatch. It includes functionality like fitness tracking but adds a feature the Series 10 didn’t: a playable version of Space Invaders.

Here’s our first look at the new Apple Watch Series 10 and the new jet black Ultra 2. The Series 10 comes with bigger than ever screens, a new processor, a depth gauge, and the ability to detect signs of sleep apnea. Except that last one isn’t quiet ready yet. Just like many things announced at Apple’s Glowtime event.

All TicWatch Pro 5 devices will get the rollout over the next few weeks, so don’t freak out if you don’t see it just yet. The good thing is Wear OS 4 will add backup and restore, meaning you’ll be able to swap phones without needing to factory reset your watch. Plus, Mobvoi’s also adding new fitness features.

The feature was announced alongside the Pixel Watch 3, but it’s now rolling out to all Wear OS watches. Once you download a map onto your phone, it’ll automatically be accessible from the wrist too. There’ll also be two new complications for your watch face that lets you search for destinations by voice or tap to view your surroundings.

Apple has rolled out a new version of iOS 17.6.1 that fixes a bug that had prevented users from enabling its Advanced Data Protection feature, as spotted by MacRumors.

In the latest public beta for Google Maps, the app will automatically download maps, apparently for your local area, and you’ll have the option to delete them, according to 9to5Google.

Peloton announced today that starting in September, Fitbit Premium users will get free access to more than 10 types of Peloton classes, including those for strength training, Pilates, running, and boxing.
