Google is building Health Connect into something much bigger than a fitness tracker. As per a new report from Mishaal Rehman (via Android Authority), the company is adding medical records and symptom tracking in upcoming Android versions, trying to catch up to Apple Health’s ten-year head start.

Health Connect launched in 2022 to fix Android’s messy health data problem. Before this, fitness apps kept their own data, and users had to manage permissions separately for each one. Health Connect creates a single place where apps can read and write health data after users grant permission. It started with about 40 data types for fitness and wellness.

Google’s November Android Canary release show where Google is headed. Upcoming Android 16 versions will added support for medical records like allergies, vaccinations, and lab results. It also added yoga and meditation sessions. Android 16 QPR2 brought native step tracking. This is the first time Google collected health data directly instead of pulling it from other apps.

Google won’t share user numbers, but Health Connect now comes preinstalled on most phones running Android 14 or newer. Hundreds of apps have added support, including Fitbit, Samsung Health, Google Fit, Nike Run Club, MyFitnessPal, Oura, and Peloton. Developers like it because it cuts down their work and meets Android’s privacy rules.

The interface is getting simpler. As per findings by Rahman, Android Canary builds show a redesigned settings page that lists connected apps first instead of recent data access. Users can now grant or block entire categories of data instead of toggling each type individually. Google removed icons and separate browsing pages, putting everything on one screen.

Google is preparing to add alcohol tracking and a long list of symptoms: different pain types, digestive problems, breathing issues, sleep troubles, and heart symptoms. With medical record support already live, Health Connect is becoming a full health data system, not just a fitness tool.

Apple Health still leads by a wide margin. It’s been on every iPhone for over a decade and works closely with Apple Watch, hospitals, and insurance companies. Samsung Health and Fitbit are still popular, but both now use Health Connect to share data with other apps.

Casio‘s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A is now available in the US after launching in Japan and the UK. Arizona Fine Time sells it for $8,000, while Chrono24 listings start at $6,242. Stock is limited everywhere.

The watch pulls from Japanese sword-making. The titanium bezel is based on the tsuba sword guard and has a hand-carved phoenix made using Shishi-Aibori hammering. Each bezel is different because craftsmen carve them individually with hammer and chisel. Green DLC coating gives it the kuroganeiro black iron look seen in forged steel. Four emeralds sit in the bezel screws and represent wisdom and spiritual strength.

The case shows “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern found on tempered sword blades. Casio creates this by recrystallizing pure titanium. Brown AIP coating makes it harder and adds a copper color. A metal plate at 9 o’clock says “2025 LIMITED.” The dial ring has a red-to-orange gradient. The dial features an arrow feather design from the hamaya charm used for protection. Yamagata Casio makes all exterior parts through precision machining.

The strap uses dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber. It’s soft, tough, and won’t wear out or discolor easily. It has a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern. The titanium clasp is deep hardened with the same brown AIP coating as the case.

The watch has 20-bar water resistance, solar charging, Bluetooth time correction, and multi-band radio control for Japan, North America, Europe, and China.

Stuffcool has launched the Nomad Pro, a GaN-based travel charger designed for people who carry multiple devices and travel across countries.

The company states that the charger is future ready for upcoming iPhone models and can charge supported iPhones up to 50 percent in around 20 minutes.

One of the main highlights is the built-in TFT smart display. The screen shows real time charging wattage, power output for each port, and the status of connected devices. This allows users to clearly see how power is being shared when multiple devices are connected.

Huawei’s Mate 80 series has started strong in China, crossing an estimated 750,000 units shipped in about two weeks after launch. This comes despite ongoing supply limits, especially for higher-end models in the lineup. Early demand has been high enough that some configurations are already facing long delivery delays.

According to Weibo tipster Geek Village Chief (极客村长), Huawei has been shipping Mate 80 units steadily since launch, but supply has not kept pace with demand. The Mate 80 Pro Max, which we have recently reviewed, is the most affected. New orders are being quoted waiting periods of up to two months, with some Huawei stores reportedly pushing delivery estimates to February 2026.

The Mate series has long been Huawei’s flagship line in China, and the Mate 80 continues that trend. The series is popular because it combines high-end hardware with pricing that stays below many competing flagships. Even with new camera hardware, upgraded internals, and deeper HarmonyOS integration, Huawei has kept prices within reach of a wider group of buyers. That balance between features and cost is a major reason behind the fast sales pace. The Mate 80 base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage costs CNY 4,699 (around $660 USD), and the Mate 80 Pro model has a starting price of CNY 5,999 (about $840 USD).

Local reports say the Mate 80 series is selling faster in China than recent launches from Apple and Xiaomi, including the iPhone 17 and Xiaomi 17 series. The strong start also points to Huawei’s broader recovery in the domestic market. Over the past year, Huawei has steadily increased its market share and returned to the top tier of smartphone brands in China. Its extensive offline retail network, a loyal customer base, and a consistent flagship launch cycle are driving this recovery.

If supply improves, the Mate 80 series could post very high lifetime shipments. Estimates suggest the lineup could cross 10 to 14 million units over its sales cycle. For now, demand is clearly ahead of supply, and Huawei’s next challenge is scaling production fast enough to match it.

Casio has officially listed the Edifice x Honda collaboration watch on its Japanese website, confirming a March 2026 release. The watch carries a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of ¥66,000 including tax. The listing confirms the model name ECB-2300HR-1A.

This limited collaboration marks 60 years since Honda’s first Formula One victory. On October 24, 1965, the Honda RA272 won the Mexican Grand Prix, becoming the first Japanese car to take an F1 victory. The car featured a fully Honda-built engine and chassis. Since then, Honda has secured six constructors’ titles and produced four world champions. This Edifice model is designed as a tribute to that milestone, with Honda directly involved in the planning and research.

The bezel ring uses genuine Championship White paint, the same color used on the RA272. The paint is fixed to the base and finished with a top coat to create a glossy ivory tone similar to the original car’s body. A gold “60” is engraved at the 60 minute position to mark the anniversary. The dial features a red ring around its edge, inspired by the Hinomaru design on the RA272 and the Japanese flag.

A gold metal bearing ring inside the watch is engraved with the words “Veni, Vidi, Vici” along with the car number “11.” This references the message sent by Honda’s F1 team after the historic win. The strap includes an engraved diagram of the RA272’s 1.5 liter V12 engine, highlighting Honda’s decision to use a 12 cylinder layout at a time when it was uncommon. The band uses nappa leather on the front and ultra suede on the back.

At 9 o’clock, the in-dial countdown timer recreates the RA272’s tachometer design, matching the original color layout, scale font, hand shape, and red zone marking. The case back features a laser engraved Honda 60th anniversary logo and the watch is delivered in special commemorative packaging.

The ECB-2300HR-1A measures 50.2 × 45.8 × 11.8 mm and weighs 67 grams. The case and bezel use carbon, stainless steel, and resin. It has a genuine leather and synthetic leather band sized for wrists from 175 to 215 mm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM.

The watch runs on Tough Solar, converting sunlight and indoor light into power. Battery life is approximately 7 months with normal use and up to 18 months in power saving mode. It supports Bluetooth time correction through the CASIO WATCHES app and includes automatic time adjustment, easy clock setting, world time for 38 cities plus UTC, stopwatch data transfer, Time and Place, and Find My Phone.
