WEKNIFE Arrakis Flipper Knife

Some knife drops are about specs and pricing. This one’s about memory. WeKnife’s latest Arrakis configuration, the 906CF-E, isn’t a routine restock or a fresh color run.

Best Smart Ring 2026 Oura Isnt the Default Anymore 1

Something shifted in smart rings this year, and it’s not subtle. The category Oura defined for almost a decade isn’t a one-horse race anymore.

A Rugged 2-in-1 Smartwatch and an Analog Light Meter Just Hit Kickstarter

LMW-V1 Light Meter Watch

The wrist real estate fight feels settled. Apple, Samsung, and Garmin keep stacking sensors onto rectangles, and most Kickstarter watches are just cheaper takes on that same playbook. Two new campaigns running right now don’t bother fighting in that lane at all. Price: From $160 Where to Buy: Kickstarter One is a tactical 2-in-1 from

iPhone 18 Pro Max Battery Jump Is Smaller Than It Looks

iPhone 18 Pro Max Battery AI Generated

A new leak says the iPhone 18 Pro Max could land with a 5,200 mAh battery, the biggest cell Apple’s ever shipped in a phone. The number sounds dramatic. The actual real-world gain looks much smaller, and a few details in the rumor itself tell us why. Here’s what the claim actually means, what would

Delugs is Developing a Wrist Strap for the Swatch x AP Royal Pop

Delugs Project WristPop Strap Orenji Hachip

We spent the first 24 hours after the Royal Pop announcement trying to figure out if Swatch was playing a joke. A $400 ceramic pocket watch that looks this much like a Royal Oak, and you can’t wear it on your wrist? The lanyard is charming in a 1990s-keychain sort of way, but most of

The Mini G-Shock You’ll Actually Want is Here

Casio GMD-B300-7 White Launch

Casio’s compact corner of the G-Shock catalog just picked up two more colorways, and they’re aimed squarely at wrists that find the brand’s classic square a bit much. The GMD-B300-2 arrives in a deep navy with a vapor-deposition sheen on the glass, and the GMD-B300-7 lands in off-white with metallic printing on the crystal. Both

Sony’s New Flagship is a 2019 Wishlist With 2026 Internals

Sony Xperia 1 VIII Colors

Sony’s Xperia 1 VIII finally got its big reveal today, and the headline isn’t the chip or the battery. It’s that Sony looked at every trend in the 2026 flagship market and shrugged. Headphone jack, microSD slot, bezels, front-facing stereo speakers, two-stage shutter button: all still there. The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is a deliberate

Leatherman’s Nurses Day Raptor Rescue Swap is Pure Colorway Flex

Leatherman Raptor Rescue Rainbow and Rose Gold

Leatherman just dropped two limited-edition Raptor Rescue colorways on for International Nurses Day, and they look nothing like the workhorse shears most nurses, EMTs, and search-and-rescue pros already keep clipped to their bags. One pairs deep violet handles with a rainbow-tinted finish on the shears. The other runs violet handles against rose gold shears. Both

Snapdragon X2 Elite Laptops 2026, Why Wave Two Wins

ASUS Zenbook A16 (UX3607)

When the first Snapdragon X Elite arrived in mid-2024, the pitch was cleaner than the reality. Battery life held up. App compatibility didn’t. Plenty of early buyers ran into VPNs, print drivers, or specialized utilities that wouldn’t run cleanly on Windows on Arm. Eighteen months later, the Snapdragon X2 Elite laptop shows up with a

Googlebook Is Here and It Wants to Kill the Laptop As We Know It

Googlebook

We’ve spent thirteen years reviewing Chromebooks as the budget machine you buy when $300 is the hard ceiling.

Smart glasses have a runtime problem nobody likes to talk about. You’re spending ~$500 on something that lives on your face, then pulling it off every few hours to find an outlet.
