A 7-inch screen on a domed speaker base looks at whoever walks up and loads that person's own home screen, for up to six enrolled members of the household. Camera and microphone data is handled in what Apple calls Secure Exclaves, a walled-off runtime on the A18 chip that the HomeView software, its apps, the user and Apple cannot read. Siri AI answers out loud from the screen, and the Home Camera face can livestream up to nine camera feeds at once.

A 70-gram plastic companion with a 1.28-inch screen for a face, it changes expression when it is petted, shaken or spoken to, and holds a spoken conversation through Energize Lab's app over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Put two of them together and they greet each other. On October 15 a security researcher told The Verge he had reached roughly 13 million stored conversations on servers in China, along with generated profiles carrying names, ages, birthdays and family relationships, and demonstrated taking remote control of a reporter's unit; Energize Lab's privacy policy says voice recordings are encrypted, sent to service partners such as Alibaba Cloud, and deleted immediately after processing completes.

A small module that straps to a wrist or clips to clothing, with two microphones and one button that starts and stops it; left alone, the microphones shut off after a silence you set anywhere from five minutes to 24 hours. The app turns what it heard into summaries, takeaways and to-dos you can search, across more than 40 languages, and personalizes them over time. Bee says audio is processed in memory and deleted immediately and that the encryption keys never leave the device; it sells for $74.99 through Amazon.

An 11.5mm-thick aluminum tracker with a hybrid OLED screen that Google rates at 46% more viewing area than its previous trackers. It reads the context of your movement to recognize and file up to 100 kinds of workout without being started, and runs background checks that flag shifts in blood-pressure and insulin-resistance trends. Google rates the battery at up to seven days, and it is the first Fitbit tracker built to be repaired, with a replaceable battery in a modular chassis.

They went on sale in the US on October 13 at $349, in the Clubmaster and Burbank shapes. There is no camera anywhere on the frame - open-ear speakers, microphones and Meta AI handle music, calls, messages and questions, and the glasses cannot take a photo or record video at all. Meta rates them at up to 12 hours on a charge, against up to nine for the camera-equipped Ray-Ban Meta line, which starts at $449.

Six watches share one body - Grade-5 titanium, a sapphire lens and a 1.4-inch borderless AMOLED, the largest screen Garmin has put on a MARQ - and differ by ceramic bezel, strap and what the software is tuned for. All six ship with TopoActive maps of the whole world and address search, a speaker and microphone for voice commands, and an ECG app that reads a heart-rhythm recording for signs of atrial fibrillation. The Golfer adds Virtual Caddie and green contour data, the Commander an Applied Ballistics solver, and prices start at $2,500.

A 750W moto-style frame at 84 pounds, on 20-by-4-inch tires with 80mm of front suspension travel. Traction control watches wheel speed and intervenes when it detects slip, cutting motor power or briefly applying braking force; hill-start assist holds position on an incline until the rider moves off, and hill descent control holds a steady speed downhill instead of riding the brakes. Segway rates the 717Wh battery at up to 58 miles and sells it as a selectable class 1, 2 or 3 bike where the law allows, at $1,999.99 from October 27.

A 56-gram titanium watch in a 46mm case, with a 1.32-inch 466-by-466 AMOLED that Suunto rates at 2,000 nits and a refresh rate that slides between 5Hz and 60Hz. Suunto AI Coach reads your goal, your progress and your current state and answers questions about them with charts, tables and maps, and will build a structured workout or route and sync it to the watch. Dual-band L1 and L5 positioning runs up to 38 hours, with free global offline maps held in 64GB of onboard storage.

Apple's first own-branded smart home accessories, built with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, set up with a single tap from an iPhone and run entirely from the Home app with no separate app or account. The four cameras record up to 2.5K and sort what they see into people, familiar faces, pets, vehicles and packages, and LG's deadbolt uses ultra-wideband to sense how close you are and unlocks as you walk up. Adaptive Temperature drives the two thermostats using on-device intelligence from an iPhone, reading whether the house is occupied, winding down or empty; availability begins in December, with the deadbolt at $349.95.

Sony micro-OLED panels behind X Prism optics give a 57-degree field of view at 120Hz, which XREAL rates at 1,200 nits peak. The X1 chip does the spatial work on the glasses themselves, with native 3DoF and 3ms motion-to-photon latency, and converts photos, video, livestreams and games into 3D at 60fps with no extra software or accessory. XREAL's AI HDR pulls detail out of highlights and shadows, the lenses dim electrochromically on their own, and 6DoF anchoring needs the separately sold XREAL Eye.
