    I’ve Tested Smartwatches for a Decade. These 7 Stand the Test of Time (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The best smartwatch doesn’t just display the time of day. It elevates your outfit and makes you feel good. The best smartwatch can do even more, from tracking your workouts and heart rate to serving as a notification hub and accessing voice assistants. You can leave your phone in your pocket and use your wrist for simple tasks. It’s not decreasing your screen time, but it’s good enough. Like many consumer gadgets today, wearables have gotten pricier, driven by several factors, including rising c

    Before You Buy an Apple Watch, Read This (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As WIRED’s resident wearable tester, I’ve tried enough smartwatches to know there’s life beyond the Apple Watch. I just apparently don’t want it. Maybe it’s because I joined the Apple ecosystem at 10 years old and have been indoctrinated ever since. I’m fluent in iOS, macOS, and watchOS, and for better or worse, the Apple Watch is my default wearable. But what’s the best Apple Watch to buy? There are now three models, each with its own set of features, and the differences between them can appear

    Why Buy an Away When Quince Is Half the Price? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ll admit it: I’ve been a longtime Away apologist. Travel makes me anxious, and my coping mechanism is apparently color coordination. There’s something comforting about seeing my matching suitcases at baggage claim (after frantically tracking them through Find My). So, I was skeptical when I swapped my beloved Away set for Quince’s Expandable Small Carry-On and Large Check-In Suitcase Set ($270). But my first thought when I opened the box was that Quince had made a compelling Away dupe.

    The Apple Watch Ultra 4 Has Fewer Reasons to Be Ultra (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Not much has changed about the Apple Watch Ultra since its debut in 2022. The company’s heavy-duty smartwatch is still massive, titanium-clad, and equipped with enough emergency features to make one feel slightly more prepared for an apocalypse than the average Joe. Each generation has brought incremental improvements, but the Ultra has largely stuck to the formula, and this year’s release isn’t any different. After testing both the Ultra 4 and the new Series 12, I noticed how little separates t

    The Apple Watch Series 12 Is All About the Details (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    On the surface, the Apple Watch Series 12 doesn’t appear to be a major upgrade over last year’s release and, in many ways, it isn’t. But after a week of wearing it day and night, I noticed that the Series 12 feels more intuitive, putting fewer steps between me and the information I need from my everyday smartwatch. Health tracking is more thorough, thanks to a new Health Sensing System and faster S11 chip. The watchOS 27 update, first announced at WWDC in June and finally available to consumers,
