Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic

In our review of the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, we called it “Android smartwatch perfection”. It offers a colorful and bright design with great features, reliable performance, and much improved battery life. The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic builds upon that by adding a rotating bezel which enhances what you can do with it.

We have a full breakdown between the differences between the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic and it’s useful to see what works for you. Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic is the one you aspire to.

The watch looks more like a traditional timepiece with its stainless steel case and Hybrid Eco-Leather Band alongside the great rotating bezel. It all comes together to make one of the best smartwatches in terms of looks but also features. There’s extensive fitness tracking, personalized HR zones, and advanced sleep coaching. Meanwhile, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis tracks your body fat, skeletal muscle, body water, and your BMI. It’s the one-stop solution for learning all about your body before encouraging you to do more. It even automatically recognizes when you’re going for a run, walk, or swim. Wear it each day and it’ll help you work out how to improve your sleep, achieve your running or other fitness goals, all while monitoring how healthy you actually are too.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic is a great watch for any Android user, particularly if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone. It usually costs $400 but right now, you can get it from Best Buy for just $220. The deal is only available for today. So, if you’re keen to save $180 (and who wouldn’t be?), buy it now before you miss out.

The Pixel 11 is almost here, but I’m more excited about what could come with it

Maroon, Text

It’s August, which means one thing if you follow smartphones even remotely closely: new Pixels are almost here. Google is holding its next Made by Google event on August 12, and this year, we’re expecting another packed lineup of phones. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all expected to take the stage. Yes, that’s the same four-phone lineup Google gave us last year, but the interesting part will obviously be what’s changing underneath. Between the usual camera improvements, new hardware, and whatever AI tricks Google has been cooking up, there should be plenty to talk about.

And the phones may only be part of the story. Google is expected to have a few more announcements up its sleeve, making this one of its biggest hardware events of the year. So, if you’re planning to tune in, here’s when the Made by Google event starts, how you can watch it, and everything we expect Google to announce.

Kids’ smartwatches are meant to keep children safe, but hackers can turn them into stalking devices

Millions of kids' smartwatches may share the same hackable security flaw.

kid-wearing-smartwatch

A smartwatch designed to help parents keep tabs on their children turned out to be surprisingly easy to hijack. In a new demonstration, security researchers showed how hackers could secretly monitor someone wearing a GPS-enabled kids' smartwatch.

They can take photos, listen through its microphone, and even track location without the wearer noticing. These findings, reported by Wired, highlight a much larger problem that goes well beyond a single gadget.

Caviar just gave Meta’s smart glasses the gold treatment but forgot to make it pretty

Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses just got a $6,840 gold makeover nobody asked for.

Caviar Meta Glasses

Luxury customization brand Caviar has built a reputation for taking mainstream gadgets and wrapping them in gold, diamonds and exotic materials. Its latest project follows that familiar formula, but this time the company has turned its attention to wearable AI. Caviar has unveiled a luxury edition of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, replacing the standard design with 24-karat gold accents and an alligator leather case while pushing the price to $6,840.

Dubbed the Odyssey, the limited-edition smart glasses arrive at an interesting moment for the category. AI glasses are gradually moving into the mainstream as companies including Meta, Google and Apple continue investing in wearable computing. Yet Caviar isn't attempting to improve the technology underneath. Instead, it is betting that exclusivity alone is enough to convince wealthy buyers to spend nearly ten times the price of the standard product.
