NEWS – Fossil’s smartwatches have come a long way since Judie and I posted our joint review of their Palm and Pocket PC wrist PDAs over 16 years ago!

REVIEW – Smart watches are one of the hottest tech trends in recent years, but one of the main drawbacks of these popular “wearables” with their wealth of features is their battery life, or lack thereof. Many smartwatches require daily charging, which can be a bit irritating and sometimes inconvenient. That’s why the Matrix PowerWatch …

I enjoy looking at watches and reading about watches, but I don’t actually wear a watch. Weird right? I used to wear a watch every day but that was back before smartphones. Now I don’t really need one. Or do I? That’s a question I planned to answer by reviewing the TicWatch Pro from Mobvoi. …
NEWS – If you prefer an old-school watch over a smartwatch, you need to check out these newly released watches from Casio. I had a beautiful Baby-G watch years ago with a translucent blue case and band, and the face featured an animated swimming dolphin. These Casio Baby-G Origin Series women’s watches don’t have the …

REVIEW – I have a small but growing collection of automatic watches which I love wearing. In the era of smartphones and smartwatches, many say that old school timepieces are a thing of the past. But I would argue that watches are one of the original gadgets, their style and use still having a place in …
REVIEW – I am normally an early riser by nature and will often wake up before my alarm clock even goes off. However, there are those occasions where I apparently needed the extra sleep and was glad I did have an alarm clock set to make sure I got up on time. I had recently …

I’ve been a daily watch wearer for over 30 years now, and one thing I’ve always wished for has been a watch that never needs a new battery (or a recharge, in the case of today’s smartwatches).

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of smartwatches are designed by and for men. I’m not saying all smartwatches have a bulky masculine style, but most do and it’s time to find a smartwatch that is smaller and more feminine. The Path Hybrid Smartwatch from Misfit looks like it fits that criteria. Misfit is well …

Waking up is about to become a bit more fun, or rather 8-bit more fun thanks to the Game Boy alarm clock. Sorry, we couldn’t resist. The Game Boy alarm clock is practically an identical replica of the original console from the 80’s. To that effect, it’s even the same size. But instead of being used …

Or time is at least “etched” on the face of this clock. The Etch Clock has a dark peacock-blue elastomer face that displays the time with numerals that appear to have been chiseled into its surface. Using patent-pending technology, the surface reconfigures itself with each time update. The 16″ x 16″ x 2.5″ Etch Clock …
