You play an entire slowly paced chapter before you even do your first rhythm gameplay, and the story is vague and disjointed up until that point.

In addition to monitoring basics like step count, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels, the watches can also track your sleep. And sleep tracking isn’t just about how long you slept. You can also use the Samsung Health app to monitor different sleep stages and even detect snoring. However, the snoring detection feature isn’t always reliable, with many users reporting inaccurate recordings or instances where it doesn’t work at all.

Apple has a practical AR glasses problem to solve before anything feels everyday: the moment you adjust the fit, the image can shift. According to Patently Apple, the new patent lays out a smart glasses structure designed to keep key display parts in precise alignment, even as the arms move like normal eyewear.
