Smart Watch

Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 are designed to advance ultra-low power and breakthrough performance for next-generation connected wearables with a focus on extended battery life, premium user experiences, and sleek, innovative designs. By using these platforms, manufacturers can scale, differentiate, and develop products faster in the continuously growing and segmenting wearables industry, the chip-maker said in a statement.

In October last year, analyst Ross Young suggested that the Apple Watch Series 8 could come in three display sizes, reports MacRumors. Now, responding to a query about the rumour on Twitter, Young claims that the additional display size joining the Apple Watch lineup will be 1.99-inches in size diagonally.

The upcoming Apple Watch should be able to detect a spike in body temperature, and then ask you to use a thermometer, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. "The feature is a go for both the standard Apple Watch Series 8 and a new rugged edition that's aimed at extreme sports athletes," he said. The upcoming lower-end Apple Watch SE is not going to have this health feature. Famed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also believes the body temperature sensor will make its debut later this year.

"With running becoming more and more popular in India, we are extremely proud to announce our newest range Forerunner 955 Solar and Forerunner 255 Series, a GPS running smartwatch which continues to provide world-class technology and features to the athletes in India," Sky Chen, Director of Garmin Southeast Asia and India, said in a statement.

Apple Watch users will now have more watch faces to choose from, with richer complications that provide more information and opportunity for personalisation. "Users around the world love Apple Watch for helping them stay connected to those they love, be more active throughout the day, and better manage their health," Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer, said in a statement.

Both the new smartwatches boast a round-dial design and are loaded with all the new age attributes, TALK 2 is available on Amazon at Rs 2,499 and TALK PRO on Flipkart for Rs 2,999. "Our new products are testimony to the promise that we made long ago to ourselves and our consumers. We have enhanced the calling features as per the need of the modern lifestyle, and both TALK PRO and TALK 2 are the result of our commitment and consistent endeavour to deliver the best," Arnav Kishore, co-founder of Fire-Boltt, said in a statement.

The Pixel Watch will come with a circular, domed design and features a "tactile" crown and side button. Made of recycled stainless steel, the watch will run Wear OS 3 that features a "refreshed UI" with better navigation and smart notifications, the company announced late on Wednesday.

The smartwatch features a 1.28-inch touchscreen digital display, 8 GB of storage and 1 GB RAM. It also boasts an upgraded heart rate sensor to allow continuous tracking and improved signal accuracy. Users will also benefit from the new SpO2 sensor, which tracks an estimate of the wearer's blood oxygen measurements to see how well your body is circulating oxygen over time, the company claims.

Skagen Falster Gen 6 and Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch users can now take advantage of Amazon Alexa on their smartwatches. The two companies announced that they would bring Alexa to a select few Wear OS smartwatches, and it appears that the support is finally here. The launch of the Skagen Falster Gen 6 brought with it the reveal of a partnership between Amazon and Fossil that would bring Alexa to select Wear OS smartwatches.
