[ad_1] Redmi Watch 5 and Xiaomi Watch S4 both arrived in the second half of 2024 in China with global availability following soon after. They both sport large AMOLED displays, a similar suite of health features, and the latest HyperOS software. On paper, the two devices overlap a lot — but when you wear them,

[ad_1] The first leaked images and early specs of the Garmin Vivoactive 6 suggest it won’t look much different from the previous model. But under the hood, there are signs of modest yet valuable upgrades for runners. Garmin’s mid-tier all-rounder seems poised for a spring launch, with April 2025 now tipped as the likely reveal

[ad_1] I received an email from Fitbit yesterday. I thought it might be a scam – but it isn’t. It’s genuine, and other people have received it too. Fitbit users are now officially on notice: by February 2, 2026, they must switch to a Google Account if they want to keep using the service. The

[ad_1] Garmin’s latest tweak to its Connect app has annoyed a lot of long-time users – and with good reason. The company has started locking some high-point badges behind its new Connect+ subscription. This might not sound like much if you’re not into Garmin’s gamified ecosystem. But for many users, the badge and level system

[ad_1] Amazfit T-Rex 3 is doing better than expected — so well, in fact, that Zepp Health couldn’t keep up with demand in Q4. Active 2 is also off to a strong start, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see continued supply bottlenecks in the coming months. Those are some insights from Zepp Health’s financial

[ad_1] Unfortunately, that time has come. Garmin has introduced Connect+ – a paid upgrade inside the existing Garmin Connect app. It goes live today, with a free 30-day trial and monthly or yearly plans.

[ad_1] Zepp Health introduced the Amazfit Balance in August 2023. And while the watch is a few years old now, it is still pretty capable.
