Last year the year of the best smart rings were, and 2025 is formed to be another interesting year in the World of Wearables – and we discuss it and much more about the latest episode of the Techradar podcast.
From Scramble to find the next ‘IT’ form factor in the laptop for AI overlord, there is plenty to talk about, and we are particularly interested in some of the new devices we have seen this year, such as Garmin Venu X1 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.
We have also seen our first glimpse of Meta’s latest smart glasses, which it produces in collaboration with Ray-Ban’s sister-brand, Oakley. Unfortunately, we are not exactly excited about the result – you will have to catch the episode to find out why.
Plus, with multiple devices set to land later in the year, including Pixel Watch 4 and the Apple Watch series 11 (and hopefully, Apple Watch Ultra 3), it’s still all to play in the competition to release the best smartwatch in 2025.
