Kensington SD5500T Thunderbolt 3& USB-C Dock review

CIGA Design Z-Series Mechanical Titanium Watch review

CIGA Watch 3

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – For at least three decades, I have been a big fan of mechanical automatic watches, and have made a great effort to stay away from battery operated watches. I probably own a few more than a dozen automatic watches, and for the most part, I have had a good experience with them.
