What can we expect from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series? While much of it is still under wraps, the tech world rarely stays quiet for long, especially when it comes to anticipated launches like this one. Leaks and industry whispers have already begun to shape a picture of what might be on the horizon, giving us just enough to speculate smartly (and maybe even plan our upgrades). As a longtime fan of the Galaxy Watch lineup, I’m genuinely curious to see how Samsung plans to level up this year. So, let’s dig into the rumor mill and see what it’s churning out.
If you’re planning to track your exercise this spring or upcoming summer, you don’t need to spend more than a Benjamin for that. Smart trackers like the Fitbit Inspire 3 are exceptional wearables that offer reliable monitoring tools for less. Right now, it’s on sale on Amazon and Best Buy, dropping to $79 from its usual price of $99.
While the Vision Pro represents Apple’s vision for spatial computing, the VR wearable has faced significant concerns regarding its pricing and weight, potentially hindering widespread adoption. Beyond VR headsets, Apple is reportedly planning to produce smart glasses that could be more appealing to mass consumers. New reports suggest how the company intends to power these glasses.

While many Samsung smartphones already enjoy One UI 7, the company is also expected to bring a major counterpart update to its Galaxy Watch wearables, reportedly arriving as One UI 8 Watch. Potential key features discovered so far include a battery health-boosting tool and several UI enhancements.
Samsung has made significant progress in the tracking features of the Galaxy Watch 7 by introducing a speedier processor that enables a suite of AI-powered tools. The upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 could further advance tracking capabilities by introducing an “Antioxidant Index” feature, which measures beta-carotene consumption using a new skin-scanning technology.
If you’re aiming to get fitter and healthier this year, buying a new smartwatch can be a great way to start. Among the current deals, Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch 7 has dropped to $199 from $299, saving you $100 (33%). This is a new record-low price for the non-cellular 40 mm case variant of the Galaxy Watch 7.
Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are a popular wearable, but they haven’t been entirely free of concerns since their launch, primarily revolving around Meta’s handling of user privacy and data. Now, the company is rolling out a new policy adjustment that will affect how it collects data through these spectacles.
From the moment I slipped the Oura Ring 4 onto my finger, it was clear this wasn’t just another wearable. Widely endorsed by wellness experts and biohackers alike, the Oura Ring has built a reputation as the gold standard in smart rings—and the fourth generation more than lives up to the hype. Even with high expectations, I’ll be honest: it still managed to blow me away. There’s a reason people are willing to pay a premium for this level of innovation.
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.
