Google has made it clear that the Assistant era is over . The company has been hard a work replacing Assistant with Gemini on phones, but the change is also expected to come to headphones, smartwatches, tablets, and cars. We found evidence of the tech giant preparing for the swap on Wear OS devices back in January. However, Google Assistant won’t just disappear from Wear OS smartwatches; Fitbit smartwatches are also losing the virtual assistant, and that change will start soon. On the Fitbit co

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority There’s very little more that I desire from the modern smartwatch. Sure, I wouldn’t say no to additional sensors to track even more health factors. I could also take slicker software and smoother animations. I’d even smile at brighter, higher-resolution screens. But beyond all those incremental improvements, I still yearn for a sizeable leap in battery life. Thankfully, that doesn’t seem too far off. We’ve already seen one of the most significant smartwatch l

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As much as I lean on my smartwatch to track my general fitness, I rely heavily on its notification features to keep me abreast of pertinent info. It’s an essential extension of my smartphone, especially when the latter is stowed away in my pocket. It’s not permanently glued to my person, though. I occasionally remove my watch to allow my skin to breathe, as I’m sure most of our readers do. Problematically, I often forget to put it back on. Considering the flo

Look at every smartwatch buying guide on the internet. I guarantee they’re either divided into separate guides for iOS and Android, like The Verge’s, or include categories like “Best for iPhone owners” or “Best for Android.” (Also, like The Verge’s fitness tracker guide.) It wasn’t always this way. Five years ago, you could buy a Samsung or Fossil smartwatch and use it with an iPhone. The problem was it was never quite as good. Apple Watches were superior, not only because they could seamlessly

Aesthetically, the smartwatches remain largely unchanged from the initial rollout in 2013, which is genuinely good news. After all, there’s no need to fix what isn’t broken
