Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has revealed that HMD is apparently working on two Wear OS smartwatches. One of these watches is tipped to have a 2MP camera, but there’s no word on what this would be used for. The watch could also bring a 400mAh battery with wireless charging, a relatively large screen, and NFC. There are plenty of smartwatches on the market today, covering a variety of price points and use cases. Now, it sounds like HMD Global could launch a Wear OS watch with

Google TL;DR Google has confirmed that Wear OS 6 will offer media controls on a smartwatch’s always-on display. This will allow you to control your music playback without turning on your watch’s screen. It seems like the always-on display could support more than just media controls, though. Google announced Wear OS 6 earlier this month, bringing some visual changes in line with its Material 3 Expressive design language. However, it looks like a welcome addition to the always-on display went

But of course, public transport, biking and walking are even better.

I wasn’t always a sunscreen devotee. I thought I looked better with a tan, and even the best sunscreens felt gross and made me break out.

I know better now, and thankfully, sunscreens have come a long way in terms of formula and feel. I put it on every day now, hoping to undo my sun-worshiping sins, or at least prevent any

From sleek minimalist designs to data-packed dashboards, the appeal of a smartwatch face lies in how much you can tailor your look.

Swapping is just clunky enough that weeks go by before I realize I’ve been stuck on the same one, even though I’ve downloaded dozens. That’s why rumored face randomi
