The upcoming months are shaping up to be an exhilarating season for wearable tech, with numerous product launches expected. From smartwatches to smart rings, several rumors and leaks are circulating regarding the hottest devices set to debut. In this article, we've compiled the top stories to keep an eye on as we navigate this dynamic tech landscape.
One of the most anticipated releases this summer is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. According to insights from Xpert Pick, this new smartwatch may be making a return to its classic design, featuring a physical rotating bezel—a beloved attribute that was controversially removed in previous models. This move aligns with Samsung's biannual release pattern of its Classic versions, which followed the launches of the Galaxy Watch 4 and 6.
In addition to the Galaxy Watch 8, rumors suggest that Samsung is also preparing for the debut of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 during its upcoming Unpacked event. Reports from Greek news outlet Techmaniacs indicate that this new Ultra model may retain the same design and price point as its predecessor, the original Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Members of the Oura Ring community are discovering innovative ways to personalize their smart rings. A trending post on Reddit showcases users employing washi tape to add unique designs to their Oura Rings. While some may appreciate this creative customization, others, including myself, prefer the understated elegance of the rose gold variant and fear the potential residue left by the tape. Nonetheless, this trend offers an inexpensive method to breathe new life into your smart ring.
In the world of Apple, exciting news is on the horizon for the Apple Watch SE 3. According to insights from supply chain analyst Ross Young at DSCC, this budget-friendly smartwatch could be available in two new sizes: 1.6 inches and 1.8 inches. These dimensions are larger than the previous SE models yet smaller than the flagship Series 10 and Ultra 2.
In related news, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has indicated that the blood oxygen monitoring feature may not return to the Apple Watch Series 11 or any upcoming models due to an ongoing patent dispute with Masimo. This situation raises questions about the future of health features in Apple's smartwatch lineup.
