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.

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 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.

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.
