Is it a hit or not? Apple isn't saying. The company has been uncharacteristically mum on the subject of Apple Watch sales. You'd think that if they were going gangbusters CEO Tim Cook would be the first to say so. It would be the first slide at the company's next...

"We can not lose the wrist." TAG Heuer appeals to luxury smartwatch market with TAG Connected, a watch running Google's Android Wear operating system.

When it comes to smartwatches, at least as it stands here in 2015, there are two schools of thought. On the premium side, you have makers like Apple, and Huawei -- those targeting the fashionistas. They suspect their buyers value luxury when it comes to timepieces, and will pay $350 or...

Could combining the best of Apple Watch with the best of Android Wear result in the perfect wearable? Android Wear has come a long way since its somewhat shaky start in early 2014. The UI is streamlined, battery life is (marginally) improved, and wi-fi is a neat trick that allows...
