If you were hoping for three new Apple Watches today, you might be disappointed. However, Apple did reveal the largest Apple Watch display every on the Series 10 wearable. The device is also thinner, delivering the bigger and slimmer update the company loves to give new devices. It's lighter too, so all three of the design changes should make the wearable more comfy to... wear. And of course, the new display will be a key selling point for this updated model.
That display is the standout update to me. The 40 percent brighter panel at various angles will make it so much easier to see Watch info at a glance. I tried on the Series 10 in the demo area here at Apple Park in both the 46mm and 42mm sizes. The larger of the two isn't that much of burden for me as I'm rocking a 45mm Series 7 on the daily. Still, the OLED display is a massive upgrade over what I'm used to, and it will offer better performance over recent Apple Watches too.

2024 might just be Google's year - for its Pixel-branded hardware, at least. After impressing us with the Pixel 9 phones, the company is ready to release the Pixel Watch 3. Spoiler alert: It continues the trend of this year's Pixel hardware feeling more mature and ready to take on the competition than ever. With the introduction of a new larger size and serious battery life improvements, the Pixel Watch 3 feels like a smartwatch worthy of the Fitbit and Google partnership. There are still some quirks the company has to iron out, but for now, the Pixel Watch 3 feels like the final evolution of a Pokémon that is ready to battle the big beasts from Samsung and Apple.
Editor's note: At the time this review was published, Apple had just begun its "It's Glowtime" event, where it's expected to unveil new versions of its smartwatch. Our review of the Pixel Watch 3 was largely conducted in comparison to the latest available model — the Series 9, and was also scored as such. We may update this piece at a later date to account for Apple's latest hardware, as well as additional testing of the Pixel Watch 3.
The Pixel Watch 3's design: A new size
One of the biggest developments with the Pixel Watch 3 is the fact that Google has finally introduced a larger size. The previous 41mm size lives on, but it's now joined by a 45mm one, which is nice for people who always felt the original was just a little too dainty. You'll also be able to see more on the bigger screen, though the 41mm variant also has a bit more real estate since Google managed to shave the bezels down a tad (16 percent, to be exact).

In the lead-up to Apple announcing its newest iPhones, Amazon has the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for cheaper than it was during Amazon Prime Day a couple of months ago. Apple's premium smartwatch is available for $689 on Amazon at the moment, which is a savings of $110. This is the company's latest and greatest (for now) ultra-premium smartwatch. It boasts the company's Double Tap feature, which lets users pinch quickly in mid-air to bring up the home screen and make adjustments.
The high-end watch is geared toward serious athletes and others with specialized fitness-tracking needs, so the sensors are on point and the exterior is incredibly durable. It still features the same 49-millimeter form factor as the original, so it's not too chonky. The screen is much brighter

With Intel's Lunar Lake chips now unveiled and driving hard for handheld consideration, the world is wondering: When is the Ryzen Z2 coming? At IFA 2024, AMD told PCWorld's Adam Patrick Murray to expect the chip to arrive sooner than later.
"We've got our Z1 Extreme and Z1 in the market today, right?" Matt Unangst, AMD's senior director of product management, told PCWorld. "Z2 is in the works. We're working with a number of partners across the OEM ecosystem on that, and it will be coming to market, probably in the early part of 2025."
You can watch Adam, our resident handheld nerd, dive deeper into the details in the video above, including details about whether or not the Ryzen Z2 will target more custom solutions like the Steam Deck or be a more "off the shelf" kind of thing like the Z1. Unangst also told PCWorld that AMD hopes to partner with more companies, including smaller ones, to drive Z2 adoption in the gaming market.
