Spotted at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US: seven new Wear OS smartwatches being developed by Fossil.

2. Could the Sony Xperia XZ3 Premium be arriving already?
The Xperia XZ2 Premium has only just been announced, but it seems as though Sony is already working on getting its successor out into the world. New leaks point to a model number we haven't yet seen before, and the smart money is on the XZ3 Premium – the phone looks to be running Android P, and is likely to have a 18:9 aspect ratio display.
3. Chatting with Google Assistant just got easier
Google Assistant has a new feature for you to try called Continued Conversations, which means you can keep on chatting to the bot on your phone or your smart speaker without having to say "hey Google" in front of every sentence. The new improvements were previewed at Google I/O last month, and are now slowly rolling out across Google devices.
4. Prepare yourself for Amazon Prime Day 2018
Amazon Prime Day is the annual sales and deals bonanza that Amazon runs for its Prime subscribers, and according to a picture that's been leaked out on the web, this year it's happening on the 16th and 17th of July. It sounds like this year there's going to be a day and a half of special offers, so you might want to book the Monday and Tuesday off work.
5. Sleep better with these new Bose earbuds
Ease your way into the land of nod in style with these new Sleepbuds from Bose – they sit snugly in your ears while you're snoozing, and use noise-masking technology to block out the sounds around you.
