Over a Month of Battery Life in a Smartwatch? That’s the Promise Here
Withings has just announced what it calls the new ScanWatch 2, but in truth, this is not an entirely new generation. The hardware is essentially the same as that of the ScanWatch 2 released in 2023. What has changed is the software. Withings is leaning on updated algorithms, new features like the Vitality Indicator, and deeper use of the existing temperature sensor to expand what the watch can do. The company is also adding a fresh blue/silver 42 mm design option, but the real story here is software, not mechanics.

What Makes Garmin’s New Flagship Watch Different From Every Other Smartwatch
Garmin just launched the Fenix 8 Pro series, and this time the adventure watch line is not just about rugged design and multi-sport tracking. The headline is twofold: a brand-new MicroLED display and, for the first time on a Garmin watch, built-in LTE and two-way satellite communication. That means the Fenix 8 Pro can keep you reachable on a trail run without your phone and still send an SOS when you are completely off-grid.

Your Next Smartwatch Might Never Need Charging Again. Here’s Why
The dream of spending more time with a device without constantly worrying about charging is something I’ve been writing about for years. I recently praised a smartphone simply because it managed to deliver true “all-day battery life.” With smartwatches, the challenge is even greater. Their compact form factor limits battery size, and bright displays that remain readable in daylight drain power quickly. That’s why every time I come across a potential solution to the dreaded “low battery” warning on a smartwatch, I pay close attention.

Smartwatches Are No Longer Just for Fitness They Can Actually Save Your Life
Smartwatches have long been about fitness tracking, heart-rate checks, and quick glances at notifications. Handy, yes, but not exactly for everyone. The thing is, Qualcomm is now putting something on the table that could capture a lot more people’s interest. With its new Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 and W5+ Gen 2 platforms, the smartwatch is stepping beyond workouts and wellness into something much bigger.

Pixel Watch 4 Brings the Fixes the Pixel Watch 3 Needed
Google has officially introduced the Pixel Watch 4, and this year’s update feels less like an incremental refresh and more like a course correction. While last year’s Pixel Watch 3 did not disappoint with its brighter display and expanded size options, it also left users asking for better battery life, faster charging, and a more powerful processor. With the Pixel Watch 4, Google is finally delivering on those demands. Let’s break down the differences between the Pixel Watch 4 and its predecessor.

The One Upgrade You Shouldn’t Expect on the Apple Watch Ultra 3
Since its debut, the Apple Watch Ultra has stood out for its appeal to outdoor adventurers, with a bright, oversized display, rugged titanium case, physical buttons, and unique watch faces. The upcoming Ultra 3, expected in September, appears to follow that formula, with credible reports indicating major upgrades. But one thing the leaks have not mentioned, and history suggests we will not see, is longer battery life. Apple has kept endurance consistent across the Ultra line, and with no sign of change in the rumors, this could remain its most persistent limitation.
