If you've ever wondered how Apple Watch can top itself with more advanced features, the answer might have been revealed through one of the patents filed by the tech giant. According to the source, future Apple Watches could detect your hydration level based on your sweat, and it sounds like a cool feature for smartwatches to have!

Apple has set the standard with the Find My network by allowing users to retrieve lost devices without the internet. However, Google still can't do that with Find My Device. Until now, rumour has it that Google might be close to establishing its own network, letting all Android users enjoy a similar benefit as the Apple users.

Do you go for jogs without a mobile device but often wish you had some music? The days of MP3 players are over, but now you can listen to music with just a smartwatch on your wrist! Specifically, this is made possible with the latest Spotify update.

Swiss luxury watchmaker, Tag Heuer, has announced a collaboration with Super Mario through colourful teasers, and it makes many Mario fans getting their wallets ready (well, maybe the rich ones). It is not hard to guess that the project will be a Mario-themed watch as that's what Tag Heuer do. However, several media sites have already received detailed information regarding the product before it gets unveiled on 15 July.

Smartwatches have been around for years, with Samsung considered one of the best in terms of operating systems. However, even Samsung sees the need for a change to WearOS. So it's not too surprising to hear that Huami is going for an OS overhaul too.

Back in May, Google announced that it intended to revamp Wear OS. With the help of Fitbit and Samsung, Wear OS 3.0 is intended to be revolutionary. Surprisingly, we won't have to wait for Samsung to launch the Galaxy Watch 4 to get a glimpse of it. In fact, one aspect of it is already available.

Back in May, it was rumoured that Samsung would be hosting its next Unpacked event in August 2021. Later on, a well-known leaker claimed that the exact date would be 3 August 2021. Well, now we're getting a different date from another source.

On the first day of Google I/O 2021, the tech giant has announced that it will join forces with Samsung and Fitbit to bring the Wear OS to the next level. By combining Samsung's Tizen and Fitbit's popular features, the new Wear OS is expected to bring an improved user experience to the Android smartwatches.

It has already been seven years since Sony released a smartwatch. With that said, it is obvious that the company doesn't invest much effort in the smartwatch sector. However, it is suggested that a new chapter is going to start after a tipster revealed something suspicious that Sony did last month.

Apple has been working on different new technologies to improve the Apple Watch. Last year, we saw patents for a watch band with embedded batteries and an under-display camera. Now, there's also a new one describing a flexible display.
