News & Reviews:   SmartWatch

This MWC 2026, Qualcomm have announced their new Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform designed to deliver Personal AI for wearables like watches, pins, pendants and more. Featuring an industry-first NPU-powered wearable platform, it should offer low-power on-device AI for these smaller devices.

Imagine walking through Low Yat Plaza or browsing an online marketplace when you spot an irresistible deal. A premium smartwatch from two or three years ago is now selling for a fraction of its original price.

Perodua has today officially launched P.Circle, a comprehensive new super app designed to integrate multiple automotive-related services into one seamless digital platform. The initiative marks the company’s leap into the mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) era, offering users extensive features such as the P.Duit e-wallet, EV charging management, home camera surveillance, smartwatch integration, and more.

Previously, it was reported that Pebble's founder was looking for a comeback as an independent brand. While there's no official product yet, founder Eric Migicovsky managed to regain an important part of the original brand's identity.

Today, Google announced its plans to expand the Gemini AI Assistant beyond smartphones. The big giant tech company wants to integrate it into various Android devices, such as smartwatches, TVs, and even vehicles that support the Android system platform.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatches have long been a favourite for many tech fans. They're feature-rich and sport high-end hardware, including an AMOLED display. However, the company could opt for a Micro LED display for a specific model in the future.

As the title suggests, the WhatsApp smartwatch app is now available on Wear OS. It was announced by Mark Zuckerberg a few hours ago via his Meta Channel broadcast.

WhatsApp is definitely one of the most used social messaging apps around the world, but it's not fully optimised when it comes to a smartwatch and is non-existent on the Apple Watch Series. That may change, though, as users can finally use WhatsApp via the WristChat app on the Apple Watch.

POCO will venture into more product segments this year besides making smartphones. The brand is expected to begin the new journey by launching a smartwatch soon. Today, the wearable gadget has also been found on several certification platforms.

Google Wear OS is bringing this not-so-significant but much-appreciated feature to the wearables soon. It's reported that the upcoming update will finally allow users to flip the display according to the orientation of the smartwatch.
