Moto 360 Smartwatch Price Revealed In Best Buy Leak

Oliver Haslam·August 18, 2014

Motorola's Moto 360 is undoubtedly the nicest smartwatch to look at, and coming a while after both LG and Samsung opened the Android Wear market with the G Watch and Gear Live, Motorola should have had enough time to learn from its competition's mistakes.

Samsung Gear Solo ‘Watch-phone’ To Be Announced Alongside Note 4 At IFA

Ben Reid·August 10, 2014

As well as taking the wraps off the Galaxy Note 3 ahead of last year's IFA exhibition in Berlin, Samsung also introduced its inaugural smartwatch effort in the form of the Galaxy Gear. Sure, it was panned by critics and went down with consumers like the proverbial lead balloon, but it was a start, and having rolled out a handful of wearables since then, the company is in much better standing as far as the emerging smartwatch market is concerned. Given the Korean outfit's insatiable need to continually push new products, the rumor that another smartwatch may be rolled out alongside the Galaxy Note 4 at this year's IFA is none too surprising, and with the report on the matter also suggesting that it will include its very own SIM slot, it's perhaps the most interesting smartwatch that Samsung has brought to us so far.

HP Is Working On A Stylish iPhone Compatible Smartwatch, This Is What It Will Look Like

Oliver Haslam·August 3, 2014

Smartwatches are all the rage right now, even though few real products have shipped out of any of what we would expect to be big players in the fledgling market. One big technology player who we might not expect to turn its hand to the quest for the fashion accessory of the year is HP, but it seems that the company that sells servers to the enterprise is also working on selling watches to consumers.

This Epic Smartwatch Can Project Notifications Onto Your Hand [Video]

Concepts are a double-edged sword in that while they often dazzle, leaving us wishing that they were real, it's often the case that these products are unrealistic, infeasible, or simply impossible to create in the real world. With the smartwatch market currently experiencing something of a boom, we've seen a fair few wondrous concepts in this department already, yet the new, innovative design you see before you is not only extremely creative in beaming notifications using its projector, but it's also something that you can, quite literally, get your hands on.

Withings Activité Is A Fitness Tracker Inside The Body Of A Traditional Wristwatch; Connects To iPhone

Oliver Haslam·June 24, 2014

While everyone is fawning over the idea of Apple announcing a watch with a 2.5-inch touch-screen, Withings has announced its own offering, called the Activité. Shipping this fall in two colors - white and silver - for the rather high price of $390, the Activité is actually more a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, though. Designed to be absolutely stunning rather than packed with more sensors than a Terminator, the Activité 'only' tracks steps taken and quality of sleep, with the number of calories burned also being calculated based on those steps.

This Accessory Transforms Any Watch Into A Smartwatch [Video]

The evolution of the brilliant Pebble wrist wear has been nothing short of remarkable since its hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. Companies like LG and Samsung have also taken the time to try and take advantage of the flourishing industry by showing off their own products before the much-speculated "iWatch" from Apple hits the shelves. These intelligent time pieces are all well and good, but can sometimes be a little bit overkill for the needs of some users. If that is the situation you find yourself in then the Glance Kickstarter campaign by Kiwi Wearables is definitely worth a look.

Samsung and Google have already invested time and resources into the emerging smartwatch market, and with Apple widely expect to follow suit later on this year, Microsoft is also rumored to be planning a product line-up of its own. We've already seen patent filings to corroborate this notion, and now, a credible new report has offered some fresh details.

Android Wear: Google Smartwatch OS Announced, Developer Preview Available Today [VIDEO]

Ben Reid·March 19, 2014

With Samsung having already announced the Gear 2 and Gear Fit smartwatches at Mobile World Congress, it was only going to be a matter of time before the other big names in tech joined the fray, and amid ongoing rumors that Apple will drop its elusive 'iWatch' product later this year, Google has gone ahead and released the Developer Preview of its 'Android Wear' SDK. As the name implies, this particular flavor of the search giant's open-source platform is designed specifically for wearables, and the Big G also took the opportunity to reel off a bunch of manufacturers, including Motorola and HTC, that will begin releasing wearable products using the software later on this year.

Google's Nexus smartphone and tablet range has proven time and again to be a huge hit with Android users, and following the successful launch of the Nexus 5 late last year, details are beginning to emerge of its would-be successor. The Nexus 6, which looks set once again to be manufactured by Korean outfit LG, will be revealed later on this year alongside Google's very first smartwatch, according to a report over at Gizmodo.

HTC To Reportedly Unleash A Google Now Based Smartwatch At MWC

Ben Reid·February 20, 2014

We already know that the successor to the HTC One will be arriving rather late to the party on March 25th, but with the Mobile World Congress just around the corner, the Taiwanese outfit reportedly has a number of wearable gadgets up its sleeve. The main device, which the company will likely show off to carriers rather than reveal publicly at MWC, is said to be based upon Qualcomm's Toq smartwatch, and with two further efforts - including a Google Now smartwatch - also in the offing, the likes of the Pebble and Samsung's Galaxy Gear will have some real competition.
