REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few watches from Ticwatch here at the Gadgeteer over the years, and they tend to be consistently good smartwatches with better than average battery runtimes.

REVIEW – My first smartwatch was the Pebble, which I found to be instantly invaluable by displaying my notifications right on my wrist and then letting me decide if they were important enough to pull my phone out.

REVIEW – The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch / fitness watch is very well made. Mobvoi is now considered a mainstream brand name so there’s no ‘knockoff’ copying going on here. The design is all Mobvoi and under the hood is the well developed Wear OS from Google. The sapphire glass screen has extra

REVIEW – What defines a watch? Years ago, that would have been silly to ask. Today, however, it’s a legitimate question. In nine short years, the most popular watch in the world—by far—is the Apple Watch. But is it really a watch? To me, a watch is a mechanical time-keeping device worn either in a

REVIEW – The KOSPET Tank T3 Ultra Smartwatch gets a lot right, but even as a new release has a few features that should be better. Are the shortcomings of the Tank T3 Ultra enough to tank it, or are they easy to overlook? It’s a beauty but let’s get under the hood and see

REVIEW – OnePlus has been putting out some really great devices lately. Their OnePlus Open is my favorite folding phone so far, and more recently, the OnePlus 12 has me on hiatus from my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But without an iPhone, my Apple Watch hasn’t been all that useful, so it was great timing
NEWS – I’ve been testing the latest OnePlus smartwatch. It’s the OnePlus Watch 2 Wear OS/Android watch. Although I can’t compare it to the first OnePlus Watch because I didn’t get a chance to review it, I can tell you that after only a few days wear it, the new Watch 2 has impressed me.

REVIEW – The Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch carries the same brand name as large, portable power stations Gadgeteer reviewers have published here. It figures it has a large-ish battery, but at $60 how close to ‘smart’ is this watch? I’ve reviewed some doozies before and this price range usually marks where I approach with lower expectations.

NEWS – Notify for Smartwatches can elevate no-name smartwatches to a new level. I just reviewed two smartwatches back to back and both were brand names you probably don’t know. Those reviews will appear soon. The major problem with both watches was zero customize-ability to the vibrations they deliver. If you don’t notice one, single,

REVIEW – The KOSPET TANK X1 smartwatch was offered for review and the brand was familiar to me.

REVIEW – I’ve been rocking an Apple Watch for 3 years now and it was the watch that got me back to wearing watches again after years of having nothing strapped around my wrist. I love the display and functionality of the Apple Watch, but I don’t like that I have to charge it every

REVIEW – It seems that the smartwatch has become as much a fashion accessory as an intelligent wearable. While Samsung lags behind that other Fruit-flavored brand when it comes to accessories, recently third-party manufacturers are stepping up and filling in the gaps. Case in point: Pitaka, who entered the fray with a fashion-forward carbon fiber
