What you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

The new Galaxy Watch 4 range gives you “more smartwatch choices than ever before” according to Andy Boxall in our Galaxy Watch 4 hands-on review. Our resident smartwatch expert also says a lot is going on under the surface, including many “thoughtful alterations” for the design. In other words, it’s a more accessible, and well-improved smartwatch than its previous iterations.

It ditches the Samsung Tizen OS for Android’s Wear OS, which actually feels very similar in design, yet includes access to so many more apps. The physical design is slimmer and more accommodating, especially to smaller wrists. What’s more, it’s one of the first true smartwatches to support body composition analysis, providing a deep dive into your health and fitness — alongside other important stats. You also get sleep tracking, general fitness and activity tracking, mobile pay — thanks to Google Pay — mobile notifications, and much more. It’s 5ATM or IP68 resistant, with a mil-spec rating of 810G, so it’s tough and can take quite the beating. It also comes in a wide variety of colors and styles, including the Classic version.

This is the definitive Samsung smartwatch, and it’s a worthy competitor to the Apple Watch, even more so than previous models.

Just like how smartphones have settled into a familiar routine, smartwatches have also become quite predictable. But Nothing might be planning on shaking things up for wearables. A tipster claims the company is preparing its first smartwatch under the main Nothing brand. The unnamed wearable will reportedly launch in September, cost less than $300 in the US, and initially reach a limited number of markets.

Its design is also said to carry the “typical Nothing DNA” that has helped the company’s phones and audio gear stand apart. Right after this, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis joined the conversation with a separate, cryptic post. It adds some company-side smoke to the leak, although Nothing has yet to announce the watch or reveal any hardware details formally.

If you've set up a PIN on your Pixel Watch, you already know the prompt that shows up every time you slip it back on your wrist. It's a useful security measure, but entering a PIN on that small screen multiple times a day gets old fast. A new report suggests Google may be working on a way to let you skip it.

A new iPhone app can sniff out Meta smart glasses lurking nearby

Android users got an unusual privacy tool earlier this year that could alert them when smart glasses were nearby. Five months later, iPhone owners finally have something similar, and its name makes its feelings about Meta pretty obvious.

AntiZuck is a $2.99 iPhone app that scans for Bluetooth signals associated with smart glasses and alerts you when it thinks one is close. It supports devices including Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, while the developer says additional hardware is being added.
