Blocks ends its modular smartwatch project after running out of money
[ad_1] The shutdown isn’t a complete shock.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 leaks soon after the first model arrived
[ad_1] That version will apparently have a larger battery (340 mAh) than the WiFi model (237 mAh). There appear to be some design changes too.
