Other Smartwatches to Consider The number of smartwatches on the market is staggering. I’ve tested models from Tag Heuer, Citizen, Montblanc, and many other fashion brands, but most of them are simply too expensive for what you get. Here are a few options I like.

In the music community, Fridays are known for new song releases, and this Friday is no exception. In fact, today marks the release of Nine Inch Nails’ soundtrack for Tron: Ares, an album that has inarguably generated considerably more hype than the Jared Leto-led film itself. In tandem with the release of the Tron: Ares original motion picture soundtrack on streaming platforms as well as the band’s official YouTube channel, Disney released a featurette promoting the film. The featurette include

Ugreen has released a new wallet tracker that’s just as thin as the FineTrack Slim Smart Finder the company debuted earlier this year, but with a massive boost in battery life from 12 months to five years. However, while the previous version was compatible with Apple’s Find My network and recharable, the new FineTrack Slim Smart G only works with
Due to ongoing restrictions, Huawei doesn't officially sell its products in the US. That's too bad, as the company is bringing a great Apple Watch Series 11 alternative to the rest of the world, where it can sell its devices. The company's latest Watch GT 6 Pro is a solid all-around smartwatch promising deep health and sports tracking along with strong battery life. Those features are all wrapped up in a premium-feeling design. I've been using the watch around my home of Edinburgh, Scotland, fo

I like to think I'm organized, but I could use a bit of help on this front, especially when it comes to keeping track of my things. For example, I have a large vinyl collection, and I couldn't tell you every album I own. However, with the help of a home inventory app, that task is considerably easier. With an inventory app, you can keep track of anything: food, clothing, tools, games, technology, kitchen
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is officially adding native step tracking to Health Connect, as confirmed by Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2. The company announced the change today, and a new banner and “Devices” page within the app now explicitly state Health Connect will track your phone’s steps for other apps to use. This marks a significant shift for the platform, turning it from a simple data hub into a fitness tracking service. Last week, we reported that Google was bringing nat

Garmin is launching its Venu 4 smartwatch today, expanding on the accessibility and sleep tracking features introduced with the Venu 3 two years ago. It’s available now in 41mm and 45mm models and starts at $549.99 which is $100 more expensive than the Venu 3
A former Meta product manager has claimed that the social network circumvented Apple’s privacy protections, as well as cheating advertisers, and fired him when he repeatedly raised the issue internally. Meta is said to have found ways to identify Apple users even after they refused consent for app tracking, in order to avoid an estimated $10 billion loss of revenue … App Tracking Transparency hit Meta hard Meta relied heavily on selling personalized advertising, which required it to be able t
There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb
When it comes to mainstream gaming appeal, it’s hard to beat Mario Kart. Break out some controllers at a party and you’ll likely get a grid full of eager racers. The game’s seamless way of balancing disparate levels of skill and aggression creates an addictive experience for just about everyone. Real-world karting, on the other hand, remains more of a niche affair. Sure, plenty of people race karts at theme parks and putt-putt parking lots, but this style of racing isn’t on the radar for your a

The feature is available with WatchOS 26 and on the new smartwatches. There's one health tracking feature I wish Apple had announced. Last year, Gallup surveyed Americans about their sleep habits. For the first time since polling began in 2001, it found that a majority of Americans said they'd feel better if they got more sleep. They aren't happy
The company behind the Proton Mail email service, Proton, describes itself as a “neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.” But last month, Proton disabled email accounts belonging to journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency.

Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 7:03AM 4 months of work just to make a stupid pun. 1986 Macintosh Plus at home in my music studio. I own a Macintosh Plus from 1986, I found it in the mid 2000's on my college campus on a free-to-a-good-home shelf (Mad Marc's shelf in the chemistry building) in great shape and with its mouse, keyboard, and an HD-20 external hard disk drive. That silly computer has been on the journey with me ever since, leaving college with me and occupying a spot in all of my

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Apple’s newest AirPods Pro 3 arrive with sleek design upgrades and plenty of hype. What caught my attention, though, was a pair of earbuds creeping into fitness tracking territory. This isn’t the first attempt. We’ve seen brands shove heart rate sensors into shoppers’ ears before, and by all means, shoot your shot. Sure, I’d be fairly weirded out if someone took my pulse in my earlobe, but earbuds with built-in sensors sound futuristic, and frankly, convenient
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is adding native step tracking to Health Connect, changing its function from just a data hub for other apps. This marks a significant shift, as Health Connect will now be able to collect its own data directly from the phone’s sensors. This could be the first step in turning Health Connect into a comprehensive health platform, though the feature isn’t fully working yet. If you want to improve your health, there’s no shortage of services you can
Jada Jones/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. It's almost time for Apple to announce the iPhone 17 smartphone lineup, but I'm more excited about the possibility of an AirPods Pro 3 announcement. The AirPods Pro 2 are my daily driver earbuds, but there are some features I'd love to see improved in the next model. Also: How to watch Apple's event this week (and what to expect) I've heard rumors about a complete redesign of the AirPods Pro's earbuds and charging case, p
Reolink rolled out a new smart home security camera at IFA 2025 that the company says can see beyond its dual camera lenses. It’s called the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, and it looks kind of like the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, a camera I recently reviewed, but with a ball-shaped camera housing that rotates to see things that three sensors above them have detected. This sensor-based approach gives the camera a 270-degree detection range at any given time, according to a press release that Reol
Labor Day sales include a decent number of Apple devices this year, from big to small. AirTags are among the latter; you can pick up a four-pack of the Bluetooth trackers for only $70 right now. That's only about $5 more than the pack's record-low price, and it's one of the best prices we've seen all year. For Apple users, AirTags offer some large advantages over rival trackers. The ultra-wideband functionality offers precise tracking with iPhones less than five years old, so you can narrow you
The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor. The treadmill itself is also on the bigger side since it's a commercial treadmill, but it does fold up using its easylift assist feature, so

This checklist will walk you (and me) through the settings and extensions I use to improve my privacy when using Firefox. If you’re looking for a web browser that offers a high degree of privacy out of the box with minimal setup, Brave is a common choice. However, I prefer Firefox for several reasons: Firefox is developed by the nonprofit organization Mozilla. I value Mozilla’s commitment to open source software. Firefox is not based on Chromium.

Smartwatches have become the de-facto way to measure activity from your wrist and can encourage you to get moving. It's increasingly common for them to offer health features like a blood oxygen sensor. Some may even have an ECG (also known as an electrocardiogram) which can check for signs of a heart condition called atrial fibrillation. Smartwatches reflect your personal style and come in a variety of finishes, from aluminum to titanium, with a seemingly endless variety of watch bands to choos
Chipolo is adding two rechargeable Bluetooth trackers to its lineup. The new Chipolo Loop and Chipolo Card trackers are compatible with both the Apple Find My network and Google’s Find Hub. The new trackers are available for pre-order on the Chipolo website today. The Card tracker is thin enough to fit inside your wallet and has a speaker in the corner capable of reaching 110 dB, to ensure you can hear it easily. It comes in black and will retail for $39.
