My months (if not longer) old project to make an @AsteroidOS #watchface based on the #HatsuneMiku x #Seiko 15th anniversary watch is starting to look like something 😍!

I always feel most Vocaloid (and other anime-styled) watches end up looking dollar store cheap or too weeaboo, or the theme is hard to recognise unless you know. This specific Seiko watch is one of the few very clearly themed yet still stylish watches I've seen.

There are some small issues I need to fix in terms of alignment and positioning, but overall it's getting there. Being absolutely NOT a designer or frontend person and having hand drawn the dial in @krita I feel quite proud 😇.

If I get everything done nicely I'll submit it to the watchface community repro.

8 Best Smartwatches (2026): Apple, Google, and Hybrid Watches

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-smartwatches/

Here are the expected features for the newest Galaxy Watch to be unveiled

The new Galaxy Watch will be unveiled in this summer’s Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event, which will provide you with the newest health features. Besides the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon Watch Elite, you will be able to have a snappy smartwatch, which elevates your health tracking experience to the new level while being AI native.

You will be able to experience the following features in this year’s Galaxy Watch:

• Vitals: This feature analyzes five important bio-signals, which are: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen. Those key factors mentioned above are then compared against a baseline that indicates true resting.
• Heart Health Score: This metric, which is updated daily, takes the Vascular Load score and combines it with the body composition data, and gives you a unified score as an output. This output is then used to identify the user’s habit of user’s long-term well-being, which gives you an overall heart health.
• Daily Cardio Load: This feature analyzes your accumulated cardiovascular strain by combining daily load and maximum training capacity and gives you recommendations of optimal training targets and rest times.
• Fitness Index: Ensures exercise routines are working by analyzing metrics, such as: heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps against your peers. It comprises of body composition, strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardio. When those are taken into account, it delivers tailored content and personalized goals so that you can make continuous, targeted improvements.
• Hearing Health: Gives you personalized analytics by measuring the noise surrounding the Galaxy Watch. Those analytics give you recommendations to protect your ears, regardless of whether you’re in a loud, noisy place, such as festivals, or raising the music volume during the workout session.
• Upgraded capabilities: Antioxidant Index now gives you a clearer roadmap of a nutritional intake, with trend charts and daily history logs, and AGEs Index that now works in the background to capture automatic overnight measurements.

The upcoming Galaxy Watch series will soon allow you to utilize those features to get more personalized health insights, and the updated Galaxy Health update will give you those features on your phone.

After the Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event finishes, you’ll be able to pre-order the newest Galaxy Watch, which will give you new features and enhanced performance.

🍏✨Breaking News: Guy rediscovers 2016 tech, throws shade at modern #smartwatches. Wonders why his Pebble Time 2 doesn’t support #TikTok or double as a waffle maker. Truly shocking revelation for those stuck in the future! 🙄📱

"Health data is increasingly an important part of law enforcement or government investigations. Wearable data has been critical in a number of cases, where information about heart rate and steps was used to determine the whereabouts of individuals. And the surveillance company Penlink calls fitness trackers and wearables an “overlooked source” for law enforcement since they tend to show movement patterns and changes in heart rates. Law enforcement can try to get access to this data through subpoenas or warrants.

There are many potential privacy issues with these sorts of devices, including whether the companies who make them share or sell information to third-parties. But here we are choosing to focus on two facets we’re concerned with around health data itself: 1) whether the company shares information with law enforcement and governments and 2) if they offer end-to-end encryption, which means the company itself can’t access that health data to begin with."
