The competition among smartwatches and fitness wearables is heating up like never before: Fitbit has a new model, there’s a new Samsung smartwatch and Apple is expected to have a new watch soon.

It’s most likely the first shoe dropping before Qualcomm unveils new smartwatch chips next month — prompting yet another wave of smartwatch hardware, including a possible Google-made Pixel watch that’s expected alongside new Pixel phones in October.
