If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best wearable to go with it. But what's the best Apple Watch to buy? Just a little while ago, this question was more complicated. In 2024, a court ruling dictated that Apple could no longer sell the latest watches—the Series 9, the Watch Ultra 2, and the Series 10—with a blood oxygen sensor. The medical technology company Masimo alleged that Apple had infringed on its patent. However, in August 2025, Apple redesigned the sensor via a software update,

Galaxy Watch Classic fan discovers bezel trick that looks like magic

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR A Reddit clip shows the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s bezel still works when held above the screen, thanks to magnetic sensing. The bezel uses a Hall sensor to detect changes in a magnetic field, rather than a mechanical connection. The same system is used on the latest Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The rotating bezel is one of the Galaxy Watch Classic’s signature features, but it turns out that it doesn’t actually need to touch the smartwatch to work. It’s one
