Upcoming smartwatches & health tech to expect in 2026

Garmin Connect 5.26 added “Enduro_4” to its device registry with internal ID 5179 and multisport category flags.

Model A2570 has appeared in regulatory databases in Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and the EAEU. Malaysia’s SIRIM filing names it T-REX DUAL SOLAR, while earlier Zepp Health app code revealed solar charging support.

The SHRM2 filing confirms a Bluetooth chest strap with a CR2032 battery and 30-metre water resistance.

The FCC documents identify model OW261, while finished packaging confirms the Suunto Run 2 name and an All Black version. Dual-frequency GPS and 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi are also listed.

Likely standard and NFC models have approvals in China, Taiwan and the UAE. Xiaomi also named Smart Band 11 in promotional terms.

Samsung’s FCC filing confirms model SM-R391 as the Galaxy Fit 4. REV2.0 hardware was tested in July, with Bluetooth 5.4 and production charging components also documented.

Huawei Watch D3 has appeared in an Indonesian certification database under two model numbers, RIV-B10 and RIV-B11.

An early internal iOS build referenced Series 12 under the N237 and N238 codenames. September follows Apple’s established schedule.

The same early iOS build included an Apple Watch Ultra model carrying the internal codename N240.

An Indonesian telecommunications certification issued to Garmin lists the model as “CIRQA SMART RING.” Garmin has not announced a smart ring, and the entry could still be an administrative error, but the wording is specific enough to put it on the radar.

Google captured unpublished Suunto copy naming both watches. It says the Race 3 S comes first and the larger model follows later in 2026.

Polar Pacer X appeared as a new string in Polar Flow 7.35.0. There are no associated regulatory filings yet.

Leaked images show a 46mm stainless steel watch with LTE, GPS, 5ATM water resistance and IP68 protection. Motorola has not announced the device.

The string SUPPORT_BIND_FALCON2025 appeared among device-support flags in Zepp Health 10.0.8. No regulatory filing has surfaced.

Our teardown of the latest Polar Flow app has revealed references to what appears to be an unreleased Polar H12 heart rate sensor. The name shows up in several parts of the app code.

Samsung appears to be working on a rather different kind of Galaxy smartwatch, one that drops Wear OS in favour of a lighter RTOS platform.

A mystery screen-equipped fitness band appears in multiple Google Pixel 11 ads but does not match any current Fitbit. Its larger, more rounded display makes a next-generation Charge a plausible explanation, although Google has not identified the device.

The same unconfirmed Huawei roadmap listed Watch 6 for Q3. No separate product evidence has surfaced.

Zepp Health has explored a wrist device that connects physiological changes with camera clips. There is no launch evidence.

Suunto has explored a bicep or wrist-worn heart-rate band for sleep, recovery and training. The project has not been approved for release.

An Ultrahuman team member said the company was exploring alternate form factors and a modular sensor ecosystem. Nothing concrete has followed.
