Sleep is still the best reset your body gets each night. Your brain clears out waste, your muscles recover, and your energy levels get ready for the next day. Miss out and you will notice it quickly in your focus, mood, and performance. The difference today is that you no longer have to guess how well you slept. With smartwatches, fitness trackers, and even smartphone apps, you can get a pretty close picture of your sleep and use that data to improve it.

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.

I review smartwatches and fitness trackers for a living because I believe they can offer an excellent overview of our physical health. I even believe they can help us change our habits. But one thing you will not see me recommend in a review is using them to measure stress. At least, not yet. The reason is simple: wearables are limited in their ability to measure stress levels. And a recent study just proved it.

If you’re in the market for a new Android smartwatch, now might be the best time to grab one. Google’s latest Pixel Watch 3 is currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy. The 45 mm GPS model has dropped to $319, which is $20 shy of the record low we saw last month. This saves you $80 (20%) off the original price in all colorways.

Samsung is doubling down on health, and the Galaxy Watch lineup sits at the heart of that strategy. These watches are the entry point into the company’s growing wellness ecosystem. For 2025, the South Korean tech giant hopes to win over wearable fans with the new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. It nailed down the design and got the basics right, but the question is whether this new model can truly stand out in a lineup that already feels crowded.

Amazfit’s Helio Strap is a screen-free fitness tracker that delivers solid tracking. The device is a nice alternative to the likes of Whoop, but with a lower price tag, suiting most users. And similar to Whoop’s offerings, it is also getting a dedicated accessory to improve tracking accuracy during workouts.

Back at WWDC in June, I said I wasn’t sold on the wrist flick gesture for the Apple Watch. Turns out, I was completely wrong. And when combined with the double tap feature, managing the Apple Watch hands-free works brilliantly.
