TAG Heuer Made a Super Mario Connected Watch and It’s Expensive

Kellen July 13, 2021 4

TAG Heuer is still making its Connected line of watches, with Wear OS and old tech inside, while asking for prices that align with its mechanical offerings. That's me subtly suggesting you would be a bit crazy to consider one, especially now with the new Wear...

Thanks to a lot of work from @MishaalRahman, digging through a pile of kernel source code, a hint has been discovered that appears to back up the biggest unconfirmed news in town: Samsung is making a Wear OS smartwatch. According to Mishaal's discovery, lines...

The newest Moto 360 watch that first launched at the end of 2019 was not made by Motorola. I think we made that clear back then, but for those who missed that launch, a company called eBuyNow is the company that made it under a licensing deal with Motorola....

A new Montblanc smartwatch stopped through the FCC this week as the Montblanc "Summit Lite," giving us hope that Mobvoi and Fossil aren't the only companies still making Wear OS watches. There isn't any evidence that this watch will run the Snapdragon Wear...

Alright, a bit of depressing news to share as it relates to the Fossil Gen 6 watch we keep hoping the fashion brand will release - we have a new "smartwatch" at the FCC, but it's not the one we want. To back up for a second, you may recall in September when we...
