As spring progresses, it’s an opportune time to focus on improving your wellbeing. To help you track your exercise and recovery, a smartwatch is a great addition to your fitness and health toolkit. Currently, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 with AI features is back to its best price of $219 on Amazon, down from $299, saving you $80 or 27%.
Alongside the Motorola Edge (2025), the company has introduced the Moto Watch Fit smartwatch, which, while offering smartwatch features, leans slightly towards being a fitness tracker. It forgoes Google’s Wear OS in favor of a custom RTOS but boasts a large display and long battery life. The wearable is priced competitively and is scheduled for release in May in select markets.
Smart glasses are no longer a dream of the future. They are now a reality, and they are developing at a rapid pace. This is demonstrated not least by the impressive 210% growth rate in global shipments in 2024, according to the Global Smart Glasses Model Shipments Tracker from Counterpoint Research. The driver of this development? The Ray-Ban Meta has now undergone an extensive update with the Skyler model. For tech-savvy users, the question is no longer whether such wearables are relevant, but how deeply they can be integrated into everyday life.
Although I’ve only tested the Garmin Lily 2, I’m a huge fan of Garmin’s approach in general—especially the wide range of features they offer in their app. Today, Garmin has officially launched the Instinct 3 Tactical Edition, a rugged smartwatch designed for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring something I wish all smartwatches had.
Google initially rolled out Wear OS 5.1, based on Android 15, to eligible Pixel Watch models last month. Now, it’s releasing the update again—either the same version or a revised one—alongside the April update. This rollout is intended to bring the latest features and changes to Pixel Watch models that haven’t been updated yet, while also fixing a bug affecting step tracking.
Forget the nostalgia of Google Glass—Android XR is a whole new beast. Developed in close collaboration with Samsung, Google’s XR platform is designed to be the backbone of next-gen wearables, blending AR, AI, and seamless device integration. Unlike Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, which focus primarily on audio and camera functions, Google is betting on a far more advanced ecosystem.
The phasing out of Google Assistant has been anticipated since Google announced its transition to Gemini. Now, it appears this shift will also affect Fitbit devices, which run on Fitbit OS. The company has begun notifying users that it is discontinuing Google Assistant support on Fitbit smartwatches and fitness trackers, with Amazon Alexa confirmed as the remaining voice assistant.
If you’re looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle or simply want to track your vital signs and workouts, an Apple smartwatch can be a reliable wearable. While the standard and Ultra models can be quite expensive, the Apple Watch SE offers a more affordable entry point. Right now, the Watch SE 2 is available on Amazon at a significant 32% discount, bringing the price down to $169 from $249.
Ahead of the Easter sale, several popular fitness trackers are currently on sale. Notably, Google’s best-selling Fitbit Charge 6 has returned to its second-best price of $119 on Amazon, representing a 25% discount ($40 off). While this isn’t the lowest price ever, it’s still a significant saving.
If you’re on the hunt for a smartwatch built for extreme conditions and long battery life, Amazfit’s latest rugged wearable is now on sale at Amazon. Usually priced at $279, the Amazfit T-Rex 3 is now down to $234 after a $45 discount (16%), returning to the all-time low.
