[ad_1] Earlier this week, we speculated on some of the ways in which Google’s purchase of Fitbit would be bad for wearables. However, there are a lot of things Google could learn from Fitbit to make Wear OS a compelling platform. The important thing here is that Google doesn’t do what it has seemingly done […]

[ad_1] If you want the Series 4 in a different finish, Amazon has discounted the gold, space black and space gray models as well, though only by $50 if it has them in stock. Likewise, the 40mm models are on sale as well, but again only by a modest $50 for both the GPS and […]
iOS 13 with Apple Arcade and watchOS 6 are now available

Apple Watch may get sleep tracking as soon as next week
[ad_1] The technology would rely solely on the watch’s motion, heart rate and noise detection to gauge the quality of your sleep. You wouldn’t need a Beddit sensor to fill in the gaps.

The next Apple Watch may come in titanium and ceramic models
[ad_1] If this reflects Apple’s plans, it promises some intriguing choices for Apple Watch buyers. Titanium is more expensive than stainless steel and tends not to be as flashy, but it’s also stronger, lighter and more scratch-resistant. Ceramic, meanwhile, is more familiar in the Apple Watch world. It’s more brittle if you break it, but […]
Apple Watch may soon get an on-device App Store
[ad_1] You’d also see a deluge of new apps. Health mavens would have access to Cycles for menstrual cycles, and Dose for pill reminders. An Apple Books app would audiobooks on your wrist, while Voice Memos would allow quick note-to-self moments. And yes, there would finally be a native calculator. These wouldn’t be great news […]
