Garmin Index Sleep Monitor is official but feels like a missed opportunity

1 week ago | gadgetsandwearables.com | Marko Maslakovic

Garmin has officially launched the $170 Index Sleep Monitor, a new wearable designed to track sleep from the upper arm rather than the wrist. In the US, it ships in 3 to 5 weeks and comes in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. The launch doesn’t bring surprises. The device had already leaked in full a week ago, and everything from the design to the feature list was known in advance.
Choosing between square vs round in the Amazfit Active 2 lineup

1 week ago | gadgetsandwearables.com | Marko Maslakovic

Device matchup, Smartwatch 5 min read Zepp Health just announced the Square version of its Active 2 watch. It shares a lot with the Round model I reviewed earlier this year, but there are a handful of differences worth noting. At first glance, the new Square variant looks like a simple form factor change. But it’s more accurate to say it matches the Round Premium model in most hardware respects.
Noise Luna Ring 2 lands in July with design & software upgrades

1 week ago | gadgetsandwearables.com | Marko Maslakovic

The Luna Ring 2 is scheduled to arrive in July. Noise has confirmed the release window after first previewing the device at CES 2025, where it picked up a CES Innovation Award. The most practical addition is the charging case. It can store up to six full ring charges, extending usability up to 30 days without needing a cable. This makes it more travel-friendly and solves one of the typical pain points of smart rings. The design also gets a bit more refined.
Polar hints at subscription-free alternative to Whoop

1 week ago | gadgetsandwearables.com | Marko Maslakovic

Something is coming from Polar on September 3rd. And judging by the teaser, it’s going to ditch the screen entirely. Will this be another Whoop competitor? The teaser doesn’t leave much room for guessing. “Not another screen… Promise.” That pretty much rules out a smartwatch. Polar hasn’t shared any details on specs or features yet, but the wording tells a story. Buzzing and scrolling are out. What’s coming sounds like a stripped-back way to monitor sleep and fitness.
A sleeker, redesigned OnePlus Watch 3 is coming July 8

1 week ago | gadgetsandwearables.com | Marko Maslakovic

OnePlus has announced a new variant of its Watch 3 with a 43mm diameter and a completely different design. It’s officially arriving on July 8th, and from the looks of it, this isn’t just a scaled-down version of the original. The Watch 3 I reviewed in April measured 46.6 x 47.6 x 11.75 mm and had a bold, masculine look. It wasn’t exactly subtle. The new version softens all of that. The body is rounder, more neutral, and feels less aggressive visually. OnePlus didn’t just shrink it.

Firmware update, Smartwatch 2 min read Healthspan is on its way to Whoop 4.0. The feature will, apparently, be arriving sometime this summer. Up to now, Healthspan has been one of the clearer differences between the two generations. WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging go beyond daily stats and give you a sense of how your habits are shaping up over months. It seems like a genuinely useful feature as detailed in my longer article on the topic.

Could Garmin glucose tracking feature arrive in 2026?

Garmin recently filed a patent that outlines how a smartwatch could estimate HbA1c using light signals. And it points to a different direction than the usual hype around continuous glucose monitoring. The filing describes a system that uses a technique called pulse spectrometry to estimate glycated hemoglobin. This is better known as HbA1c, a marker that reflects your average blood glucose over the past two or three months.
