The Apple Watch Series 11 Should Steal This One Galaxy Watch Feature

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-27 21:00:17

The Apple Watch needs to step up if it wants to keep pace with Samsung's new Galaxy Watches, and I'm hoping the Series 11 will be the one to do it. It's still one of our favorite smartwatches, but after a month with the Galaxy Watch 8, I'm finding it hard to go back to Siri. Google's Gemini AI -- which debuted on the Galaxy Watch and is now rolling out to other Android models -- is so genuinely helpful that it's spoiled every other voice assistant for me. Gemini isn't just more conversational t
