Senior Reviewer, Wearable Tech
Victoria Song reviews all things wearables and fitness tech for The Verge.
Before coming to The Verge, she'd been yammering on about this space—and other consumer tech—for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. When not nerding out over gadgets, she can be found on the couch binging the latest K-dramas.
Specifically, it’s acquired Veri — a startup that lets you track your meals and glucose levels using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). It’s unclear how exactly Veri will be incorporated into the Oura platform, but this is the latest in health tech companies trying to make metabolic health the next frontier. Dexcom and Abbott, for example, both launched over-the-counter CGMs in the past month.

Google Pixel Watch 3 review: third time’s the charm
The first two Pixel Watches were playing catch-up. Now, Google’s starting to flesh out its wearable vision.
The Apple Watch made smartwatches the wearable of choice
It’s been ten years since the Apple Watch was announced. Where does it go from here?
All TicWatch Pro 5 devices will get the rollout over the next few weeks, so don’t freak out if you don’t see it just yet. The good thing is Wear OS 4 will add backup and restore, meaning you’ll be able to swap phones without needing to factory reset your watch. Plus, Mobvoi’s also adding new fitness features.
Just don’t ask when the Wear OS 5 upgrade is coming.
The feature was announced alongside the Pixel Watch 3, but it’s now rolling out to all Wear OS watches. Once you download a map onto your phone, it’ll automatically be accessible from the wrist too. There’ll also be two new complications for your watch face that lets you search for destinations by voice or tap to view your surroundings.
