Google’s latest tracker is a middle ground between a simple tracker and full smartwatch.

Google’s latest health upgrades give Pixel Watch owners more ways to track their well-being, from blood pressure and insulin resistance trends to how well they breathe while sleeping.

The Fitbit Air is finally getting another band option that isn’t fabric or polyurethane. Instead, the Metal Mesh band might actually take the Fitbit Air up a notch.

Fans of the Fitbit Charge 6, listen up—Google just launched the new $179 Fitbit Edge, and it replaces the Charge in the brand’s fitness-tracker lineup.
