The Venu series is Garmin's smartwatch line designed for general users. It offers fewer rugged features than the brand's adventure-focused models but makes up for it with better aesthetics and portability. These watches have proven popular among certain demographics, and now Garmin has introduced the Venu 4. Its arrival has been highly anticipated, thanks to meaningful upgrades like a built-in flashlight and ECG.
After what felt like forever, Apple finally bumped up the Apple Watch’s battery life. The new Apple Watch Ultra 3 jumps from 36 to 42 hours, promising nearly two full days of power, at least on paper. But Apple has a history of being conservative with its battery estimates, so we wanted to find out how long the Ultra 3 actually lasts. Here is our real-world battery test and whether it lives up to the hype.
Apple has officially released watchOS 26, and the good news is that even if you own an older Apple Watch, you can unlock most of its new features right now by updating your software. From health tracking upgrades to smarter workouts and a sleek new design, there’s plenty to explore once you install the update.
While there are many smartwatches to choose from, only a few are truly reliable. For Android users, one of the best options to consider is the OnePlus Watch 3. Right now, the 46 mm variant of the smartwatch is on sale at Amazon, dropping back to its record-low price of $294 from its usual $350. This slashes the price by $55 (16%).
To improve on what was already a very capable smartwatch, Huawei added a set of practical upgrades to the Watch GT 6 Pro. This is a versatile wearable that combines a refined, angular design with a solid lineup of fitness and health tools. Huawei is clearly targeting amateur and beginner athletes, while still offering features useful to performance-focused users. Spoiler alert: I liked the GT 6 Pro overall, but it still falls short of delivering a complete smartwatch experience.
In 2023, I upgraded my Apple Watch from the Series 5 to the Series 9, mainly because the hardware leap between those generations finally made it worth it. Until then, I never really felt the need to upgrade. Like many people in the workforce, I’m not swapping devices every year. I’m very aware of planned obsolescence and appreciate companies that extend the value of existing hardware through software updates. And yesterday, Apple gave me the best reason to stick with my Series 9 for at least the next 12 months.
If you haven't picked one of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 models yet, you might consider buying one right now. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has plunged to an incredibly low price of $389 at Amazon, which is a notable drop of $160 from the regular price of $549, though the retailer only shows $459.
Smart rings have now established themselves as serious competitors to classic wearables. They are compact, look stylish, and are particularly suitable for all those who want smart functions but prefer to wear an analog watch. The Imiki Ring 2 fulfills exactly this role - and also offers a feature that has hardly been found in smart rings to date.

The T-Rex 3 Pro will launch first in Europe for €399.
