Best Fitbit Models for Beginners, Athletes, and Kids (2026)

WIRED

These are my favorites, whether you're new to fitness, an athlete, or a parent shopping for your kid. It's been five years since Google officially acquired Fitbit for a reported $2.1 billion, grabbing hardware and software teams that also absorbed assets from Pebble, which Fitbit itself acquired in 2016. So, how have things changed? Well, for starters, Fitbit is now Google Fitbit. It's not the most imaginative of name changes, and it hasn't stuck in consumers' minds, but the good news is that Fitbit devices remain some of the most user-friendly and welcoming fitness trackers available.


An AI pin is beneath Apple

Bungie's Marathon arrives on March 5 How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit Apple needs a better Siri, not an unproven wearable. So it's come to this: Apple is reportedly working on a wearable AI pin . According to, it is going to be a small device with multiple cameras, a speaker, microphones and wireless charging. It sounds like the perfect gadget to pair with the long-awaited AI-powered Siri update, which will also reportedly work as a chatbot . But while many Apple rumors conjure up an air of excitement, the notion of an Apple AI pin sounds downright baffling. Worse, it just seems desperate.

TAG Heuer's New Smartwatch Ditches Google's Wear OS to Be Apple Friendly

WIRED

The crown doubles as a way to scroll through the interface, which makes it easier to select items in various menus. There are also two pushers above and below the crown. The top opens a menu with the main capabilities of the watch, like fitness tracking, weather, calendar, and dialer. This button also acts as the select button, whereas the bottom pusher takes you to the previous menu.


Feasibility of In-Ear Single-Channel ExG for Wearable Sleep Monitoring in Real-World Settings

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Automatic sleep staging typically relies on gold-standard EEG setups, which are accurate but obtrusive and impractical for everyday use outside sleep laboratories. This limits applicability in real-world settings, such as home environments, where continuous, long-term monitoring is needed. Detecting sleep onset is particularly relevant, enabling consumer applications (e.g. automatically pausing media playback when the user falls asleep). Recent research has shown correlations between in-ear EEG and full-scalp EEG for various phenomena, suggesting wearable, in-ear devices could allow unobtrusive sleep monitoring. We investigated the feasibility of using single-channel in-ear electrophysiological (ExG) signals for automatic sleep staging in a wearable device by conducting a sleep study with 11 participants (mean age: 24), using a custom earpiece with a dry eartip electrode (Dätwyler SoftPulse) as a measurement electrode in one ear and a reference in the other. Ground truth sleep stages were obtained from an Apple Watch Ultra, validated for sleep staging. Our system achieved 90.5% accuracy for binary sleep detection (Awake vs. Asleep) and 65.1% accuracy for four-class staging (Awake, REM, Core, Deep) using leave-one-subject-out validation. These findings demonstrate the potential of in-ear electrodes as a low-effort, comfortable approach to sleep monitoring, with applications such as stopping podcasts when users fall asleep.

Cross-device Zero-shot Label Transfer via Alignment of Time Series Foundation Model Embeddings

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

High-quality, medically validated labels exist for clinical actigraphy data but not for ubiquitous consumer wearables like the Apple Watch. Manually labeling wearables data is expensive and doesn't scale. This paper offers a novel framework that transfers valuable labels from a source domain (e.g., actigraphy) to a target domain (e.g., Apple Watch) without requiring paired data. Instead of working with raw time-series signals, we project both domains into a shared latent embedding space using time-series foundation models (TSFMs) and develop a new framework to align the cross-device representations. Our method, Adversarial Alignment of TSFM Embeddings forces the distributions of source and target embeddings to align within this space, facilitating label transfer across device type.
