According to IDC forecasts, Apple Watches should retain their dominance over the next four years, but Androids will experience “market-beating” growth, as basic activity trackers are expected to slowly lose steam. Never an exact science when it comes to rapidly shifting branches of the tech landscape, specific market predictions issued

Clearly aimed at fashion enthusiasts, as well as fitness nuts, the second-gen Moto 360 smartwatch costs $300 and up with countless customization options. Pictured out in the wild, rendered for the press, detailed in numerous leaks these past few weeks, and rumored to go official on September 8 in China,

Amazon may have jumped the gun on Friday, also inadvertently confirming Android Wear’s looming iPhone support, but now, at long last, the luxury smartwatch is available stateside. It’s been a long and bumpy road from formal announcement to commercial release for the Huawei Watch, and besides rumors of mandatory software

First unveiled at Computex in June, the Android Wear timepiece is headed for Europe in October starting at the rough equivalent of $170 (€149). As predicted and essentially confirmed in a series of teaser images and videos broadcasted online by Asus, the Taiwanese device manufacturer is looking to build hype

One of the priciest Android Wear timepieces yet will apparently be dispatched on September 2, but Amazon bizarrely lists iOS 8.2 and up compatibility as a key selling point. When your name is Huawei, your success chiefly associated with Asian markets, your American reputation still tainted by a not-so-distant spying

Previewed at Computex in June in 18 and 22mm sizes, the sequel to the surprisingly well-received ZenWatch holds very few surprises ahead of its IFA Berlin reintroduction next month. The battle is on for the title of strongest Android-powered Apple Watch contender this fall, as Motorola, LG and Asus all

Quite a steep departure from the “luxury”, fully circular Watch Urbane. Given LG barely joined the fledgling smartwatch arena 14 months ago, when the awkwardly rectangular G Watch went on sale, we must admit the Korean manufacturer has come a long way in a short period of time. The “perfectly

Apparently due for a commercial release in time for the holidays, the Moto 360 copycat remains shrouded in mystery as far as internals go. With around 13,000 employees (and growing), a strong presence in 400 retail stores worldwide and 4,000 wholesale locations, as well as net sales of $3.5 billion

Newegg offers a trio of discounts on arguably the handsomest Android Wear device in the world, which you can combine for a total of $100+ savings. Perhaps the clearest sign yet LG is indeed working on a high-res Watch Urbane follow-up sees the OG’s price reduced at Amazon and Newegg. Of

The mysterious wearable device should sport an unrivaled 480 x 480 pixels resolution, though screen size remains under wraps for the time being. The slowly but steadily flourishing smartwatch market is in for a number of exciting new releases this fall, as Android Wear arranges its latest Apple Watch

It finally looks to be happening, although there’s still no official debut date attached to probably the handsomest Android Wear timepiece in the world. Extravagant but not tacky, robust yet by no means bulky, “timelessly designed” and “smart within”, the Huawei Watch was poised to give LG’s Watch Urbane a

The follow-up to probably the best first-wave Android Wear device could see daylight in less than two weeks to foreshadow perhaps its main rival, Samsung’s circular Tizen-based Gear A. As painful as it might be to acknowledge, it’s crystal clear – Motorola and LG don’t have the necessary marketing muscle

Let the countdown begin, although there’s still no clear, official word on a timetable for a wearable device that should have really started selling months ago. Oh, Huawei, how you love to torment early smartwatch adopters! The rising Chinese star showed people possibly the prettiest Android-based Apple Watch alternative back

The always ingenious Japanese manufacturer of “traditional” timepieces reportedly plans to go after the Apple Watch with something slightly less futuristic. Contrary to popular belief, Pebble didn’t actually lay the groundwork for modern smartwatches. Not exactly. It was in fact Casio that envisioned various use cases for your bland wrist-worn

It looks like a matter of weeks, maybe days until lingering inventory is cleared, and a no doubt costlier second-gen model breaks cover. Y’all ready to bid adieu to “flat tires”, disappointing battery endurance (hopefully), and mediocre wrist speed? The “exciting” 2015 edition of the Moto 360 is almost certainly

In a refreshing change, a Chinese device manufacturer favors foreign markets over its fertile homeland for a high-profile product launch, although not intentionally. Early intelligent wearable adopters already have the affordable Moto 360 and luxury LG Watch Urbane to choose from if the Apple Watch feels a little cumbersome or

The Android Wear town was apparently not big enough for such similar circular smartwatches. Although the original LG G Watch saw its price slashed several times between its commercial dispatch and Google Store disappearance a little over a month back, no one could really blame Big G and LG for

The list of Google-powered smartwatches with standalone Wi-Fi connectivity on the way grows by one, but alas, Asus has different plans for its uber-affordable ZenWatch. How’s the Android Wear 5.1.1 bundle of joy treating you, Moto 360, Sony SmartWatch 3 and Samsung Gear Live owners? Haven’t received it yet over-the-air?

Formally announced roughly a month ago and pre-installed on the luxury new LG Watch Urbane, the firmware finally begins its wider-scale release. If we didn’t know any better, we’d say Google waited for Apple’s first big move on the wearable chessboard before unleashing a vicious attack on the “iWatch.” Or
