Fitbit always has gamified fitness by offering badges and trophies to motivate its users to move. The newest way Fitbit wants you to exercise this week is its "Get in Your Zone Challenge" that kicks off today. Its focus is on Active Zone Minutes, and it encourages you to have a "friendly competition with yourself." 

The aim is to meet your recommended amount of time this heart rate-based metric suggests. Active Zone Minutes coincide with the American Heart Association's recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.

Samsung's last Android-based smartwatch, the Gear Live, was released back in 2014. From then on, the company has relied on its Linux-based Tizen operating system to power its smartwatches. But a new tweet from Ice universe hints at the company releasing an Android-based smartwatch to replace Tizen. The renowned Samsung leaker didn't mention Google's Wear OS, so it could mean that Samsung is releasing a smartwatch using a customized Android OS. 

According to a Galaxy Club report, Samsung is reportedly working on two wearables with model numbers SM-R86x and SM-R87x, which might be the Galaxy Watch Active 3 or 4 series. It isn't clear if these will have Android as their operating system.
