This $249 Nike Slide Doubles as a 15-Minute Recovery Tool
Nike and Hyperice have announced the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide, a recovery slide that puts heat and vibration hardware in its adjustable strap. The companies want recovery gear underfoot as soon as training ends, instead of packed away in a drawer or gym bag. It’s a simple premise. A slide people already wear after sport

You Don’t Need a Full Power Station to Save Your Fridge During an Outage
Most backup power advice starts with buying a whole-house generator or a portable power station bulky enough to run half the kitchen. FridgeGuard skips that step. It’s a dedicated battery built to sit beside the refrigerator and take over the instant an outage starts, without anyone installing a larger system or calling an electrician. Jackery

8 Things the Galaxy Z Fold8 Just Made the New Floor for Every Foldable
Every affordable version of a flagship phone ships with an unspoken warning: whatever made the expensive model good, expect less of it here. Smaller battery, slower charging, a camera bar that quietly drops a lens, a screen that looks fine only until you put it next to the version that costs more. Samsung’s new Galaxy

The Origami-Folded G-SHOCK for Runners Just Got Three New Colors
Comfort is the spec nobody prints on a watch box, and it’s usually the reason a training watch ends up in a drawer by March. Casio’s GBA-950 goes after that problem from an unexpected direction, borrowing the mathematics of paper folding to change how the band sits against your wrist. The series arrived in 2025

Viltrox’s New 26mm EVO Makes Full-Frame Cameras Easier to Carry
Full-frame kits get left at home because of size. Viltrox’s new AF 26mm F2.8 EVO aims straight at that problem, and it keeps a clicked aperture ring and a separate focus ring while doing it. The Sony E version measures about 23.8mm long, per Viltrox. Price: $299 Where to Buy: Sony Viltrox showed both full-frame

Ultra-Wideband Comes to a 70% Gaming Keyboard
Wireless gaming keyboards have been making the same trade for years: pick compact and live in a crowded radio neighborhood, or keep the cable and stop thinking about it. Ultra-Wideband changes the math. It runs on short pulses across a wide frequency range, separate from the Bluetooth headsets and Wi-Fi routers that chip away at

Why the Cheapest Revel Gets You the Same Blade Shape
Budget folding knives usually show you where the money went. You get a molded nylon handle instead of milled metal, a coated blade instead of a polished one, and a house brand steel instead of a name you know. The black Artisan Cutlery Revel 1867P has all three, and it still comes with a button

Razer’s new Seiren V3 Chroma 32-Bit DSP starts at $119.99, which is $10 under the starting price of the Seiren V3 Chroma it upgrades. That reads like a bargain until you check what the older mic actually sells for, which is closer to $88 to $100 at Best Buy, Newegg, and other retailers. The upgrade

This Titanium Bezel Grows Its Own Pattern, and Only 1,800 Watches Will Have It

OKNIFE’s $59.99 Titanium EDC Pen Skips the Bolt Action
OKNIFE prices the B1 Lightning Strike titanium EDC pen at $59.99, which is real money for a ballpoint. The company’s argument is that you’re paying for a machined grade 5 titanium body, a clip that deploys the refill in place of a bolt action, and a fidget spinner built into the cap. Whether that adds

Anbernic’s RG SP Ditches the Joysticks for a Slimmer GBA SP Throwback
Anbernic keeps circling the same idea: take the Game Boy Advance SP shape and get it right. The RG35XXSP had the look but skipped analog sticks. The RG34XXSP added sticks that not every buyer in this shape was asking for. Now the newly revealed RG SP throws the sticks out again and leans all the

Fort Wearable Tracks Your Reps, Sets, and How Close You Are to Failure
Most fitness wearables were designed around cardio. The step counts, the heart rate curves, the VO2 max estimates: all of it was built to make sense of movement that looks like movement. Lifting doesn’t look like movement to a gyroscope. It looks like a person standing still, occasionally lurching, and the software treats it accordingly.

Casio Just Made the Cheapest G-SHOCK Expensive
Casio has listed a new orange DW-6900 on its US site, the DW6900MO26-4, a limited collaboration with Larry June’s Midnight Organic tagged as a July 2026 release at $170.
