Who runs it
Hi, I’m Shahryar.
I’m an engineer by profession, a dad, and a wearable-tech enthusiast based in Canada. I’ve been following this industry closely for six years.
SmartwatchCrunch started the day I bought my first Apple Watch. I had questions nobody was answering clearly, so I started writing down what I learned. That blog slowly grew into the news site you’re reading now.
Before that, I spent about two years selling phones and wearables at TBooth wireless. Standing behind the counter taught me what people actually want to know before they spend money on a watch: not the spec sheet, but whether it will last the day, whether it works with their phone, and whether it’s worth the upgrade.
That’s still the question behind every story I write.
What I cover
The whole wearable world, fast.
Breaking news
Launches, prices, software updates and leaks from Apple, Samsung, Google, Garmin and beyond.
Early signals
FCC certifications, FDA clearances and patents that hint at devices before they’re announced.
Hands-on reviews
What a device is like to live with, not just what the box says.
Guides & comparisons
When a feature or a buying decision needs more than a news story.
How I work
A one-person newsroom, with tools to keep up. Nothing publishes itself.
- 01 · Watch
Around-the-clock monitoring
Software watches official newsrooms, regulatory filings and news sources, so I hear about stories as they break.
- 02 · Draft
AI as an assistant
AI helps me spot fresh stories and prepare first drafts from the original sources.
- 03 · Verify
A human signs off
I check every fact against its source, add my own analysis, and approve every article before it goes live.
Independence
No brand owns, funds or directs this site.
SmartwatchCrunch earns money through affiliate links: if you buy a product through a link here, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides what I cover or what I recommend. Brands can’t pay for coverage or a better verdict.
