Do you want to enjoy maximum battery life, a fast processor, and can live without some of the health features found in a modern smartwatch for your Wear OS smartwatch? If you ticked all of the above, then the recently unveiled TicWatch Pro 5 might just be the right tool to wrap around your wrist! This time, we took several weeks to test out the numerous features of the flagship smartwatch for you.
In addition to the Galaxy XR headset that Samsung confirmed to launch soon, the South Koreans were also tipped to develop a smart Galaxy ring. Now, a new filing points to the possibility of Samsung working on different wearable form factors, including a possible bracelet and a pair of glasses.
Up to this point, the Apple Vision Pro was a nice dream that now threatens to burst after all. No—don’t worry, the all-in-one headset for Mixed Reality will still be available in 2024, but not in the originally planned quantity.

This is also the second-best price we’ve recorded or just $10 shy of the all-time low.

While there were whispers that Google will be working on its next-gen glasses or Glass 2.0 under the moniker Project Iris, it has been reported that the company will cancel the hardware development of its wearable device.
When Meta announced the Quest 3 headset earlier this month, it also pledged to improve the Quest 2 and Quest Pro (review) through a software update.
