Pebble says we’re ‘in for a treat’ — Will it be a new smartwatch?

Pebble hasn’t released any new products for a few months, but it seems as though that’s about to change — the company has begun teasing a big reveal for Tuesday.

A countdown now appears on the company’s homepage, and once that countdown reaches zero, we’ll presumably see a new Pebble product. Unfortunately, there isn’t any information about what the product is, but you can give Pebble your email to be notified of whatever the news is once it arrives.

The timer on the website is counting down to 10 a.m. EDT Tuesday, which is when, according to the website, we’re “in for a treat.”

So what exactly will we see at the end of the countdown? It could be literally anything at this point. Pebble tweeted a picture of an hourglass on a Pebble watch with the caption: “Everything’s better with friends.” Gee, thanks Pebble, that gives us absolutely no new information.

The obvious assumption is that the announcement will be of a new watch. Pebble is a smartwatch company, and unless it’s planning on getting into a new market, a smartwatch reveal makes sense. Of course, the countdown could also be for a major software update to the Pebble watches, or perhaps a big sale on its devices. All of those options would certainly count as a “treat.”

Last year was a big year for Pebble — we saw the company’s first color watch in the Pebble Time, as well as its first circular watch in the Pebble Time Round. It will be interesting to see if Pebble is able to continue that momentum this year.

Stay tuned for more information on Pebble’s big reveal.

Let us know in the comments section what you think we could be in for from Pebble tomorrow.

Samsung may be working on an incredible new smartwatch design

Right when Apple is reportedly prepping a major design overhaul for the Apple Watch ahead of the upcoming 10th anniversary edition, we are hearing rumors that Samsung is also chasing a similar goal. A SamMobile report claims Samsung is finally going back to its smartwatch roots, eschewing the round display on its current-gen Galaxy smartwatches in favor of a rectangular dial.

You’ll be waiting a while longer for blood glucose tracking on smartwatches

Apple and Samsung — the two titans of the smartwatch industry — are chasing a new feature that would allow a smartwatch to measure the glucose levels in your blood. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is already concerned about misleading marketing tactics, even though the feature is yet to appear on a commercially available smartwatch from a well-known brand.
“The FDA has not authorized, cleared, or approved any smartwatch or smart ring that is intended to measure or estimate blood glucose values on its own,” says the regulatory agency. As such, the agency has asked users that they should refrain from buying or using smartwatches or rings that claim to measure the sugar levels in the bloodstream.
Right now, there are medical-grade devices out there that can measure blood glucose levels, but most of them rely on an invasive method where a small puncture is required to draw out a blood sample and then analyze it. Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring has remained elusive so far, especially in a miniaturized form that is suitable for smartwatches.

In 2020, Samsung announced that it had developed a noninvasive method for blood glucose level measurement in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Samsung didn’t specify whether the tech would make its way to a smartwatch, but multiple reports claimed that Samsung is exploring the tech for its smartwatches.
Apple, on the other hand, is also said to be working toward the same goal. Rumors suggest that noninvasive blood glucose level analysis could arrive as a marquee new addition for the t10th-generation Apple Watch slated to hit the shelves later this year.
Assuming the tech eventually makes it to the market later this year, it would start a mad race where every player would want to advertise that health facility for their own product. And that would mean misleading marketing claims, which is already a worrisome reality. It seems the FDA has already braced for the onslaught and has, therefore, made it clear that it hasn’t certified any such tech -- from Apple or any other consumer electronics brand whatsoever.

Apple may announce new iPads next month. Here’s everything we expect

The yellow iPad (2022) lying face-down on a green bush.

When it comes to Apple, we expect a new product refresh annually at this point, including for the iPad. However, that didn't happen in 2023. In fact, 2023 was the first year that Apple didn't release a new iPad model at all, which means we haven’t had new iPad releases since 2022.

It’s unclear why we didn’t see any new iPads last year. However, that should also be an indicator that we can expect some big changes for the next generation of iPad models, which are rumored to come out this year. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has even said that we could see new iPads as early as March.
