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

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

As a consumer tech writer/reviewer, I’m privileged to have access to numerous smartwatches at any given time — often flagship, high-end ones, too. Right now, I’m wearing the excellent OnePlus Watch 3. Before that, I was wearing an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I also have the Google Pixel Watch 3, a couple of Garmin watches, and some Amazfit ones, too. Suffice it to say that I don’t need any more smartwatches; I have some of the best models you can buy in 2025. But even so, I just spent $225 on one that

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

The dream of the cool-but-not-overly-garish smartwatch is alive and well with not-Pebble’s new smartwatches, the Core 2 Duo and the Core Time 2. Pebble, known by diehard nerds for making one of the gadget world’s most beloved throwback wearables, is reprising its vintage-looking smartwatches under a new moniker, Core Devices. 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

Certain watches can stay just as they are and people will keep buying them. The Casio F-91W, the most-sold watch in the world, keeps the time on a readable display and offers a single daily alarm slot (unless you board-swap it). The Timex Weekender may last as long as mechanical watches exist. What about the Pebble? Is there still room on people's wrists for the most exciting Kickstarter-backed tech of 2012–2016?

On Thursday, Japanese peripheral maker Green House released a line of Hello Kitty smartwatches that are so adorable that I was annoyed by how boring most smartwatches look these days.
