What new wearables can we expect in 2025?
Of course, 2024 was no slouch.
TheGoogle Pixel Watchseries blossomedin its third iterationwith the addition of a larger, longer-lasting 45mm model.
In addition, Samsung rolled out its first rugged Wear OS smartwatch in theGalaxy Watch Ultra.
Oh, and the flagshipApple Watch 10debuted sporting a slimmer, lighter profile with sleep apnea detection.
But all of that’s in the rearview mirror.
At the very least we should get a tease at the event.
We should know more soon.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 and SE 3
I can’t lie.
Based on the brand’s prior launch cycles, both devices seemed likely.
The firstApple Watch Ultralaunched in 2022 with theUltra 2refresh coming a year later in 2023.
Similarly, theApple Watch SEfirst debuted in 2020 with theSE 2 following in 2022.
Clearly, annual and bi-annual updates for both of those lines are no longer the norm.
Or maybe Cupertino is simply cooking up something extra special and groundbreaking for the refresh of both lines?
Finally, a larger case size option may be on offer.
The Ultra 3, meanwhile, will more likely make its debut in the fall.
Unlike the SE 3,Apple Watch Ultra 3 rumorsare less plentiful.
However, like the Apple Watch Ultra 3, details on the Series 11 are scant.
Still, I can wishfully speculate.
There’s been a lot of chatter about MicroLED technology lately.
And for good reason.
The standard Apple Watch line has been stuck at the same battery life for years.
A switch to MicroLED screens could change that.
Of course, we had to wait until summertime to finally get our hands on one.
When we did, it impressed us, earning the team’s respect as thebest Oura Ring alternative.
The finger-based wearable may still be wet behind the ears but rumors of a follow-up abound.
Specifics are notably lacking, though.
No new Fitbits
Google went ahead andput the kibosh on the Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versasmartwatch lines in 2024.
In 2025,I expect more of the same.
As of writing, only the entry-levelFitbit Inspire 3, mid-rangeFitbit Charge 6and kid-centricFitbit Ace LTEremain.
So, which will be the nextFitbitmodel to have the plug pulled?
(Though I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong).
