Xiaomi has confirmed that it will launch its first smartwatch later this year as it looks to take on the Apple Watch, Samsung’s Gears, and the world of Android Wear.

The Chinese company already offers one of the world’s most popular fitness trackers — and its habit of combing great hardware with affordable prices has us super excited for more.

Samsung’s new Gear Manager app for iOS, which will let you pair an iPhone with the Gear S2 smartwatch, has leaked out ahead of its official debut.

Testers say the app will bring a surprising amount of functionality, allowing users control music from their watch, and even sync new faces to it.

Google’s stock Calculator app for Android is now available from the Play Store, and it comes with a brand new Android Wear app that gives users the ability to perform simple calculations on their wrist without pulling out their phone.

Samsung’s Gear S2 smartwatch will get an update that adds iPhone compatibility by the end of this month, according to a new report.

The move will allow Samsung to compete with the Apple Watch in its own backyard, but some features — such as Samsung Pay — will be lost when the wearable is connected to iOS.

TAG Heuer’s first Android Wear watch might be pricey at $1,500, but that hasn’t prevented it from being successful. The Swiss company has revealed that it “totally underestimated demand” for its first smart wearable, and it has more planned for 2017.
