Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (left) and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Andrew Martonik / Digital Trends The Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic are among the most popular smartwatches of 2024. Offering heaps of functionality and customization options, they’re an easy recommendation for anyone who owns an Android smartphone. But while the two have very similar names, there are some key differences between these two Samsung wearables. Much like the Apple Watch Ultra differs from the Apple Watch SE, so too does the Galaxy Watch…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The Apple Watch brand has been on a rollercoaster ride of antics lately. First the Apple Watch is banned. Then, the Apple Watch isn’t banned. Like looking at a post-bender celeb, we collectively wonder, “What’s the Apple Watch up to now?” We warn you, though, that the answer might cost you more than a penny for your gossip. Why? Because the Apple Watch SE 2 — a model that never had any scrutiny placed against it — has been on sale. For example, right now, as part of great Apple Watch…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The choice of smart rings is growing, and if you’re tempted by one, it’s a great time to get started. However, buying a smart ring isn’t like buying a smartwatch or a Fitbit. There are specific aspects to a smart ring that you should consider before choosing and purchasing one, especially if you’ve never worn a ring of any type before. I’ve worn an Oura Ring for several years, plus I’ve spent many weeks reviewing the Ultrahuman Ring Air and the RingConn Smart Ring, am currently testing…

Joe Maring / Digital Trends Over the past year, I’ve developed an obsession with health/fitness trackers. Previously a longtime and dedicated Apple Watch user, my wrist (and fingers) has been home to a myriad of competing wearables — including ones from Garmin, Samsung, Google, Oura, and others. One fitness tracker that really caught my eye last year is the Whoop 4.0. It tracks your daily activity, workouts, sleep, recovery, and a mountain of other health data. On paper, it looked like exactly the type of health…

Aging is rough. I often joke to my friends that I’m perimenopausal, though I don’t have an official diagnosis. I do have all these new symptoms that have shown up since birthing my child four years ago that have been confirmed by my primary care physician as being part of the journey, as they say. My constantly fluctuating body temperature is the latest ailment, causing me to make adjustments. I mean, I always knew that being in an ovulating meat suit told that it was par for the course, but as I near 40, I feel like I’m…

Oura Ring (left) and the RingConn Smart Ring Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The Oura Ring doesn’t have the smart ring market to itself anymore, and the latest challenger is the RingConn Smart Ring. It’s the same basic concept as the Oura Ring, but there are some key differences. The RingConn Smart Ring is not only cheaper, but it also doesn’t have a monthly subscription attached to it, making it more financially tempting. I’ve been wearing the Oura Ring for several years now and have had the RingConn Smart Ring on the…

Oura Ring Horizon Andy Boxall / Digital Trends My appreciation of the Oura Ring smart ring is well documented, and I’ve worn it almost continuously for more than two years. It means I am very familiar with both its positive and negative aspects and have a good idea of where competitors need to shine if they are going to compete, as it remains the smart ring to buy at the moment. Samsung used its January 2024 Galaxy Unpacked event to let the world know the rumored Galaxy Ring is real and coming at some point in the…
