If you want a Wear OS 3 smartwatch that wasn't made by Samsung, then you're in luck. Luxury watchmaker Montblanc has unveiled its first Wear OS 3 watch, the Summit 3. Not only does it get Google's improved software, but it also gets a new-ish Wear 4100+ chip, which should improve performance and battery life. On top of that, you'll also be attracted to that upscale design.

You get a sleek, traditional timepiece look with a case made from titanium. There are both leather and rubber strap options. And some watch faces mimic Montblanc's mechanical models like the 1858 Geosphere. As for smartwatch features, it gets blood oxygen monitoring, sleep tracking, and Google Pay support. Montblanc makes the Summit 3 available worldwide on July 15 for US$1,290 (approx. CA$1,670).

The new Notes feature will allow writers on the platform to write lengthier pieces on the app. It will enable you to go beyond 280 characters using a rich-text editor for writing.

Other features you can expect include photo, video, GIF, and tweet embedding, the option to edit Notes (even after being published), and a special Notes tab on the profile (first coming to the web, then on mobile).

Nothing phone (1) won't come to Canada

We've already seen previews of Nothing's first smartphone. Unfortunately, the Nothing phone (1) won't get a widespread release here. Instead, Nothing plans to distribute a "limited number" of the devices to community investors in the country as part of a "closed beta." But it hopes to release it in the region in the future. It will be launching in Europe on July 12, with the company auctioning off the first units to interested buyers.

"While we'd love to bring phone (1) to the entire community around the world, we're focusing on home markets, including the UK and Europe, where we have strong partnerships with leading local carriers," the company told PCMag in a statement. "It takes a lot to launch a smartphone as you know, from ensuring the handset is supported by the country's cellular technologies to carrier partnerships and local regulation, and as we're still a young brand we need to be strategic about it."
