Wearable

The two companies are introducing an opt-in integration designed to increase cyclist safety by sharing real-time cycling alerts directly with drivers. Cyclists using Garmin LiveTrack on a compatible Garmin Edge bike computer or smartwatch can broadcast a dynamic, moving icon to nearby Waze drivers. The hope is that drivers using Waze will see the notice about a nearby cyclist and slow down. The feature is rolling out now to iOS and Android users.

Meta’s AI agent now works on Apple Watch and Wear OS, the company announced today.

While any apps or faces already installed will keep working, after November 28th, owners won’t be able to download them from the Fitbit App Gallery anymore, even to replace deleted ones or following a device reset.

It’s opening preorders for its upcoming smart glasses on November 12th, the same day as Warby Parker. Gentle Monster also says in a post on X that it’s releasing a full version of the teaser short film later this month, directed by Jonathan Glazer and featuring Her star Joaquin Phoenix.

In its latest earnings report, Co-CEO Dave Gilboa also hinted at when the glasses will ship, saying, “on November 12, we’ll begin accepting pre-orders for our first Intelligent Eyewear collection and look forward to delivering customer orders during the holiday season.” Gentle Monster’s Android XR glasses are also expected to arrive this fall.

CEO Peter Stern hinted at the upcoming product in an earnings call, saying it will combine “state-of-the-art software powered by AI,” premium equipment, human instruction, and community features. It will be the first in a new category for Peloton, but probably won’t be a wearable.

CEO Evan Spiegel, discussing the Specs on today’s Q3 2026 earnings call: “We’re really looking forward to beginning to ship Specs later this fall.”

Benly Watch’s Desktop 95 pays homage to Windows 95 with a watch face featuring various windows, icons, and a bright turquoise background — unless you prefer a more subdued beige alternative. The $159 watch also uses a mouse pointer and hand cursor for its hour and minute hands. You can get it with various strap designs, but it’s only available as a limited run of just 500 pieces.

After receiving clearance from the FDA in July, Samsung announced that its more advanced sleep apnea detection feature is now rolling out to its smart ring. The upgraded feature uses an “enhanced algorithm” to analyze vitals during sleep, and was previously only available on the Galaxy Watch 9.

Following the G-Shock version that debuted nearly a year ago with an adjustable strap, Casio’s latest iteration of its functional ring watch is based on its A168 digital watch that originally launched in 1995. The new CRW-002 will be available with a silver finish for $135, or gold for $155, and will be available sometime this month.

The Tonal 2 “Glacier” edition is available for $4,795. Aside from being a white colorway of the Tonal 2, it also has a mirror-like display that reflects the room when idle, built-in accessory storage, and some small design tweaks like arm covers and sculptural refinements across the top and bottom caps.

That’s according to the Chosun Ilbo, which reports markets including Europe, China, and Japan will have to wait until later for the “intelligent eyewear,” powered by Google, and designed by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. Chosun also reports the glasses will go on sale in mid-December, a little later than we’d previously heard.

A new update shows saved routes on your home screen so you can start and complete a route offline, uploading it when you’re next connected. It also improves the ability to search for interesting places to build into your next run. Other improvements are on the horizon, including hands-free navigation, browsing routes on the web, and expanded route details.

Its previous patent dispute saw Ultrahuman blocked from the US market for almost a year. Now Oura alleges the Ultrahuman Ring Pro violates another two of its patents, including one only issued to Oura this week, and wants it taken off sale. For now at least, that hasn’t happened yet.

Meta just shipped a pair of smart glasses with no camera — a change that both David and The Verge’s Victoria Song are excited about. But these glasses, like the new product from Amazon Bee and seemingly everything else now, are still ready and willing to record the world around you at all times. What do we do in a world where everything, everywhere, might be recording? And can tech companies figure out a way to make us feel better about it?

Following wearables with playable versions of Tetris, Mega Man 2, and Pong, My Play Watch’s latest timepiece comes saturated in Street Fighter II theming including various faces inspired by the game’s characters, a matching strap, and a version of the fighting game optimized for tiny touchscreen controls.

The Samsung Health app has made Sleep Coaching reports more detailed, and now only requires three days of data within the past two weeks to initiate the feature, instead of seven days within a month. Additional Health app updates include expanded Running Coach programs, and new nutrition managmenet features for meal-logging and diet score assessments.

We’ve seen the Google-powered glasses twice before, designed in collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. But now SammyGuru has published what it claims are leaked images of every design and color, plus core specs. The glasses are rumored to launch next month. Here are a few frames, head to SammyGuru for the rest.

Users who sideloaded outdated builds of the Fitbit app to avoid being forced to switch to Google Health have found it no longer works. Android Authority reports that a new prompt is appearing for some users that can’t be bypassed without updating the Fitbit app, which forces moving to Google Health anyway.

The company founded in Kansas in 1989 (and now legally based in Switzerland for tax reasons) has seen its annual revenue triple to $7.2 billion under the leadership of employee number six, Cliff Pemble. The short WSJ profile of the CEO who learned to fly in order to write better cockpit software is the antidote to Silicon Valley’s attention-seeking bootlickers.

The Apple Watch Ultra 4 can run for up to 84 hours between charges, but Garmin’s new $899.99 Enduro 4 can track your activities for up to 320 hours or function as a basic smartwatch for up to 90 days. Instead of squeezing in a massive battery, the Enduro 4’s sapphire-protected touchscreen has an integrated solar panel so extending its battery life requires daily sun exposure.

The Series 12 and Ultra 4 both scored 4/10 for repairability — a slight bump on last year’s models, but well short of the 9/10 for Google’s Pixel Watch 5. iFixit warns that Apple’s provision of parts and repair tools for watches falls short of new right-to-repair laws in 10 US states.
