ARTICLE – Hearing loss creeps in slowly. You ask people to repeat themselves more often, then start turning the TV up a few notches higher than anyone else needs it. At some point, restaurants stop being worth the effort because background noise drowns out conversation. Nearly 30 million American adults live with some degree of
REVIEW – If you’ve spent any significant time at a desk, you’ve probably felt it: that dull ache creeping up your forearm after hours of pushing a mouse around. Maybe you’ve tried ergonomic mice.

If you’re anything like me, you lose your wallet constantly. Not dramatically, not in a way that involves police reports or canceled credit cards.

ARTICLE – Let me tell you what I would destroy with this thing. Amazon packages. Every single one. Those impossible-to-open clamshell packages that make you question your life choices.

There’s something satisfying about gear that punches above its weight class. The RODMAN ED08 fits that description almost too well: a 1.14 ounce titanium flashlight roughly the size of a coin that somehow packs five LED colors, 300 lumens of output, magnetic mounting, and USB-C charging into a square body you can forget is even
ARTICLE – I’m a sucker for anything waterproof. On my feet, that seals everything because I’m everywhere, low-carb’n all over the place.

Huawei dropped the Mate X7 at their Dubai launch event today, and I need to talk about it. I sat through the virtual pre-briefing a few weeks back, watching spec after spec scroll by, and something clicked. Not the usual “oh, that’s nice” reaction you get from annual phone refreshes. More like “wait, did they

NEWS – Most licensed gaming watches land somewhere between forgettable and embarrassing. Slap a logo on a generic quartz movement, call it limited edition, charge twice what it’s worth. Anicorn and Sony clearly had a different conversation. Their PlayStation 30th Anniversary watch, limited to 300 numbered pieces at $780, drops December 19 with a Miyota

News – Most smart rings arrive loaded with sensors that track your heart rate, analyze your sleep cycles, and count every step toward a daily goal. The Pebble Index 01 ships with none of that.
