The Apple Watch Ultra 3 Could See Its Biggest Upgrade Yet

The Next Apple Watch Series 11 Has a Release Date and a Few Surprises

Apple just confirmed its "Awe dropping" event for Sept. 9, at Apple Park, and we're expecting a fresh lineup of Apple Watches to take the stage. The headliner will likely be the Apple Watch Series 11, but Apple may have also tipped its hand on the Ultra 3.

Here's a look at everything we know, suspect, a

I still prefer Apple Watch over Oura Ring for 3 key reasons - but there is one big drawback

Apple Watch Ultra and Oura Ring Jason Hiner/ZDNET I've been wearing an Apple Watch every day for the past decade and I've been using it to track my sleep every night since 2019. Over the past few years, I've known more and more friends, family, and colleagues opting for smart rings instead of smart watches to track their health. I've also personally tested the Oura Ring, the Samsung Galaxy Ring, and the Ultrahuman Ring Air. But eventually, I keep taking off the rings and coming back to the App

CNET Editors Tested Camping Gear All Summer: Here Are Our Top Picks for Labor Day

Why I like it: The Grayl GeoPress is among my best outdoor gear purchases. I feel confident drinking water from lakes, rivers and even the sketchiest of sources with this filtered water bottle -- and that's saying something, because I nearly bit the dust by acquiring three strains of E. Coli from contaminated water at one point (before I knew about Grayl). It efficiently removes waterborne pathogens, including 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa, and filters particulates like silt, micro

Known online as Gores, the person says he coleads a group called Purgatory, which is offering its followers a menu of services, including hoax threats against schools—known as swatting—for just $20, while faked threats against hospitals, businesses, and air

Only the second power plant of its type in the world, it is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year – enough to help power a desalination plant that supplies fresh water to the city and neighbouring areas.

Apple May Take AirPods Pro 3 Beyond Audio

It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like Apple is finally ready to release the next pair of AirPods Pro. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the AirPods Pro 3 will likely be among the major product releases at next month’s annual iPhone 17 event. That’s big news for anyone who turns to Apple for wireless audio, but the new active noise cancellation (ANC) buds could be an even bigger deal for anyone who’s interested in Apple as a player in health-focused wearables. On top of improved AN

The Pixel Watch 4 doesn’t fix a longtime Fitbit problem, and I hate it

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Google unveiled the new and improved Pixel Watch 4, yet one of my long-standing asks remains unanswered: true multi-device support. With AI coaching arriving in October, I’d love to see Fitbit allow more than one active device per user. When brands like Garmin and Apple handle this seamlessly, its absence is starting to feel less like an oversight and more like a conscious trade-off. If you could use a Fitbit along with the Pixel Watch, would you do that? 104

The Apple Watch is not actually carbon neutral, says German court

Apple is no longer allowed to advertise the Apple Watch as carbon neutral, a German court ruled following a protest from environmentalists about Apple’s promoted claims. The Frankfurt court found the company misled consumers for describing the Apple Watch as a CO2-neutral product. Apple first unveiled its first carbon neutral products starting with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in September 2023. The German ruling means that language relating to these devices being carbon neutral will h

Hundreds lose water source in Colorado's poorest county with no notice

FORT GARLAND — In the sandy hills scattered with piñon pine and spiky yucca, hundreds of people have relied on a water supply that is so much a part of the local culture that Costilla County residents describe it as a way of life. Drilling for water is a pricey gamble on the high desert where many live off the grid at 7,500 to 10,000 feet of elevation. A well could cost $25,000 with no guarantee that water will spring, even after digging hundreds of feet. Instead, many people in the poorest co

I replaced my smart ring with Garmin's new sleep tracker - my verdict after a week
