Last Wednesday morning, I woke up and did what I normally do when I open my eyes. I grabbed my phone and checked my Oura app to see how I slept. This morning, however, Oura's home page looked a bit different. Unlike the sleep and readiness scores I usually see on the home page, a new message appeared on top. While no biomarker deviated strongly from my baseline, Oura's Symptom Radar feature warned me that my biometrics indicated "major signs of strain." It encouraged me to take it easy -- a tall task given that I was headed into the office for the workday.

At CES 2026, the tech giant is rumored to unveil a Brain Health feature, developed to detect early signs of dementia, according to rumors. Details are sparse, but Sammobile reported that the feature will analyze various metrics to detect early signs of dementia. These include gait patterns, changes in a user's voice, and sleep status. Whether this will be through Samsung's smartphones, smartwatches, or smart rings is still unknown.

Budget smartwatches have come a long way in recent years, from mere tech gadgets to essential daily wearables. They now offer smarter features, better health tracking, and seamless connectivity. Indian brand Just Corseca has recently launched its latest budget-friendly offering, the Skywatch Pro, in the country, which includes all basic smartwatch functions, along with Bluetooth calling, heart rate monitoring, step tracking, and more. After using the Just Corseca Skywatch Pro for nearly a month, here's my take on this entry-level smartwatch.

Realme Watch 5 is all set to launch in India on December 4. Ahead of the debut, the company has confirmed the smartwatch's design, colour options and main features. Notably, the model is already available in select global markets. The upcoming wearable is positioned as a major upgrade over the preceding Watch 3 Pro, featuring a larger AMOLED display, expanded health tracking tools and longer battery life.

The latest Galaxy Watch lineup includes both the and the Watch 8 Classic with a rotating bezel, are available to buy now, and they're packed with all the standard health tracking metrics, and some unique ones of its own. I've been testing Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8. I've run, slept, and socialized with it, and I'm confident it's one of the top Android smartwatches you can buy right now, whether you're training for a marathon or just looking for a capable AI-powered smartwatch.

Lee is a former Bose engineer who led the engineering of its famed sleepbuds, and he, in his own words, "knows how to put tiny things in people's ears for a long time," he told me in an exclusive interview. After Lee's father broke several ribs when he fainted due to a lack of blood flow, he wondered how to create a device that measured that in the ear.

The is an interesting hybrid device because it looks like a regular watch (complete with analog hands), but it has features you would normally see on a smartwatch, like an OLED screen and health tracking features. How often do you charge your smartwatch? Once or twice every day? Too often? Doing so regularly often makes me wonder exactly how much value I'm getting out of those occasional notifications and alerts, and it's a big reason why I still have an affection for hybrid smartwatches.

Samsung offers FE (fan edition) smartphones and tablets, but this year's Galaxy Watch FE is the first smartwatch with the moniker. The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE LTE is a $250 smartwatch you can use on the go without having a phone connected via Bluetooth. The entry-level smartwatch is priced just right, given that it offers most of the functions in the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra. The 40mm Watch 7 with LTE is priced at $350, meaning you can pick up the FE for $100 less without compromising too much.

Sun Day offers an open-source approach, with its codebase published on GitHub, allowing developers to inspect or remix it, aligning with Dorsey's embrace of open-source tools.

The Google Pixel Watch 4 will feature a new Workout Builder, assisting users in creating custom strength training routines to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

The Amazfit Active 2 Square, with its larger display and refined aesthetic, has swiftly become my top choice under $150, driven by both functionality and style.
