Wearable

The Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Ring, and Galaxy Buds 3 revealed at Samsung’s Unpacked event went on sale globally today, though some regions / carriers may vary.

The exception is the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which are delayed (until August 28th in the US) due to quality issues with the removable ear tips.

That’s according to the Financial Times, reporting that Meta is looking to further its partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the owner of Ray-Ban and so many other eyewear brands.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses released last year now support multimodal AI to identify what wearers are seeing. They also sold more in a few months than the previous pair did in two years, according to EssilorLuxottica’s CEO.

Instead of a patient having to export and share Afib data with their healthcare provider, doctors can now access this information from within the Fitbit Web API. According to Google, this could allow hospitals to incorporate patient data into heart health programs, while researchers can use it to inform studies.

This was announced a while back. (Along with a new Dark Mode which also recently went live.) Basically, four people can now share an annual Strava premium subscription. The caveat is everyone has to live within the same country and you’ve got to be a new subscriber. The new Family plan is available in 32 countries, and pricing will depend on where you live.

The Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch 7 and Ultra, Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro each made appearances at Galaxy Unpacked and are available starting on July 24th.

We’ve prepared a 12-minute supercut of the event for you, in case you missed the livestream.

Here’s a gallery of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra’s detail shots. That strap connection looks pretty familiar!

A lot of these features look awfully similar to the Apple Watch Ultra. Samsung isn’t shy about where it got its inspiration for this beefy squircle watch from.

This is an industrywide first. Fitbit first started working on this back in 2017! It’s not meant to be a diagnostic tool — these features never are. Rather, it’s meant to alert you and encourage you to talk to a doctor.

I got a chance to play around with the Galaxy Ring, but here’s the gist: it’s made of titanium, comes in three colors, has up to seven days of battery life, and will be a really great, discreet way to track your sleep.

Nomad has a new $100 wall charger that, in addition to offering a pair of table-stakes USB-C ports, can also fast-charge newer Apple Watch models.

Yes, that’s right. You slap your watch on top of the 65W plug to charge. Hope your outlets are easy to reach, I guess?

Following teases that revealed the first smartphone from Nothing’s affordable subbrand will have swappable rear panels, the company has shared another image on X revealing its upcoming CMF Watch Pro 2 will allow users to change the wearable’s appearance with interchangeable bezels.

The Watch Pro 2, the Phone 1, and the Buds Pro 2 will be announced on July 8th at 5AM ET.

I missed half my little girl’s first roller coaster ride because the recording cut off at the minute mark, so I love this for them.

The only other thing I need is an in-between size of Wayfarer frames — I had to return mine because the 53mm were too loose, but the 50mm squeezed my head and gave me headaches.

The next Apple Watch may have a two-inch display, according to CAD renders posted by 91mobiles, which said they were “sourced from industry insiders.” They supposedly depict either the Apple Watch Series 10 or a rumored special anniversary edition. If true, that means the wearable will feature the largest display ever on an Apple Watch.
