Casio built its 2026 G-SHOCK campaign like a two-chapter movie instead of a typical product ad. Casio America announced the G-SHOCK Shock Yourself campaign, and it stars multi-platinum artist Lil Tecca instead of a spec sheet. Two cinematic chapters carry the story, backed by a full media push across photos, digital placements, social posts, and […]

Old Timer built a three-blade pocketknife that the modern outdoor market mostly ignores, and that’s the whole point of the Generational USA Series. The Old Timer Middleman 34OTG packs a clip point, a sheepsfoot, and a pen blade into one bone-handled frame, forged from 1095 high carbon steel and assembled start to finish in the

Razer spent years telling competitive players that its analog optical switches were the fastest input it could build.

The Lola x Miffy Digital Camera started shipping on July 31, and the price is the part worth arguing about. At $109 in the US, £79 in the UK, and AU$159 in Australia, this camera lands in the awkward middle of the digicam revival, sitting well above the $35 keychain toys and far below anything

The FiiO RETRO BOX is shipping. The cassette shaped desktop speaker sells in black and white through FiiO’s official AliExpress store for US $56.47, and the shape is doing the heavy lifting here, because a rectangular box with two knobs would never have gotten a second glance. Docking hardware is a strange thing to get

Most tools sold as everyday carry start with a blade and build outward. KANSEPT’s PryMate starts somewhere else. It’s a flat piece of titanium designed by Sebastian Irawan as a deliberately non-knife carry tool, built around a pry bar and a short list of wrenches rather than a cutting edge. It isn’t a new release,

NEC announced a new Android tablet, the LAVIE Tab T12, on July 30, and the spec sheet reads like it was assembled in two different years. The display, the battery, and the chassis all belong in 2026.

A good EDC sling does one job better than a bigger backpack: it keeps the small kit you actually use close, visible, and easy to reach. The catch is that best EDC sling bags range from tiny phone pouches to 11-liter tactical haulers, so the right pick depends on what you carry every day. This

Most folding knives ask nothing of you beyond a thumb push. The WE Knife Inmate 23096B-3 asks for a specific motion, and it hands back a blade that snaps open with more authority than a thumb stud usually manages. That trade sits at the center of this knife. It’s the reason the Inmate reads as

Dell’s new XPS 13 starts at $699.99 in the U.S., or $599 for eligible students, and pairs that entry price with a 13.4-inch 2.5K display, a 2.2-pound CNC aluminum chassis, and a 512 GB SSD. Touch is part of the deal only if you pick the Sky finish, because the Storm configuration costs the same

Citizen spent this summer doing something unusual for a brand its size. Instead of building the month around one flagship, it pushed watches out across nearly every tier it sells, from a $426 solar diver to a titanium GPS piece whose bezel grows its own pattern in the furnace. Not one of them is a

Dive watch marketing still sells you a tool. Most of that tooling stopped mattering once dive computers got affordable, and the pitch never updated. The rotating bezel, the 200 meter rating, the lume that reads in black water, all of it survives because it looks like capability. Heron Marinor Rainbow White Price: $600 (FKM rubber)
