I remembered back in the ’90s, I got my first digital camera. It was a crappy 0.3 megapixel camera where you could barely make out the content of the images. But I loved it. And that was alongside all the other gadgets that I wanted… a Gameboy, a Nintendo 64 and broadband internet. I still …
I like my Garmin Fenix 6. It’s a great smartwatch that gives me a lot of data about my health and workouts. But Mobvoi released the Ticwatch E3 and I was very excited to test it. I must say…I forgot how convenient it is to have a general purpose smartwatch that can do it all. …
So what happens when smartwatch manufacturer Mobvoi decides to go into the Fitbit space? Well, the Ticwatch GTH smartwatch happens. The new Ticwatch GTH is something like a Fitbit mated with an Apple Watch and then mating with fitness tracker. It’s not really a smartwatch, but it does look like the Apple Watch. It’s close …
The LOL Surprise Kids Interactive Smart Watch must be an eye-catching smartwatch because when I was video calling my mother, she noticed it. I think she noticed it even more because the colours and design were not something that would be marketed to boys, but I was wearing it anyway. The cartoon “LOL Surprise” is …
A few years ago, I went to Yellowstone and Yosemite in one trip. My biggest mistake was going to Yellowstone first. Yellowstone just made Yosemite look like an amateur national park. The same has happened here with the iTOUCH Playzoom. I just reviewed the Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX2 and so far, I still prefer that …
The Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX2 is hardly a smart watch, but it makes me happy. Why? It reminded me of the ’90s when things were simpler. There weren’t smartwatches, just digital watches and analog watches. However, the ’90s also had a pretty groundbreaking device: the Gameboy. There’s just something alluring about the Gameboy being a …
I really like the Fitbit Ace 2. I have been wearing it for a week and it’s been a joy to wear. The thing is… this is a smartwatch for kids, so how come so I find it so attractive? Well, for one, I find that this fitness tracker is quite convenient to wear. Fitbit …
The Garmin vivofit jr. 3 is a fitness tracker for kids that is compact, useful and fun. Design I guess the main draw of this smartwatch comes down to the fictional characters that you can get the watch adorned with. I bought the Black Panther edition because, uh, this watch is kinda marketed for boys …
Do you remember the song PPAP? It goes “I have a pen, I have an apple…” The Galaxy Watch3 is like that. The singer grunts, “Hng!” and then says “apple pen” In the Galaxy Watch3’s, you have the Samsung Galaxy Watch on one hand and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 on the other. HNG! Samsung …
FEATURES: New processor, better always-on screen Blood oxygen tracker, ECG, noise monitoring, hand washing timer New straps Excellent integration of emails and texts Great voice assistant, Siri Informative watch faces I have always lauded the Apple Watch Series 5 as the best smartwatch that I have ever used. I still believe that the Apple Watch …
As a kid growing up in the 80’s I loved video game and calculator watches. I was fascinated by them because I thought it was so cool you could have these electronic features in such a compact design. I didn’t use the features much, but I sure loved the concept and loved wearing those watches. …
I’ve been keen to get my hands on this popular, yet very reasonably priced smartwatch for some time. I finally did, ran it through the gears, and now here are my thoughts and detailed review of the TicWatch Pro smartwatch. Features Dual LCD and AMOLED display for superior battery life Integrated GPS for workouts without …
Fossil is going all in on smartwatches. They continue to release new models. They’re one of the few traditional watch companies staking a serious claim in the smartwatch market. Here’s our Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle review. Features: Excellent performance for a Wear OS watch Speaker, microphone for calls Two-day battery life with all functions Integrated …
The word “polar” usually suggests “extreme.” North Pole, South Pole. Bipolar. With the Polar Vantage V, it’s so polarizing that it’ll make a Fitbit seem like an amateur toy watch. It’s like a Jeep versus a everyday SUV. It’s like a full carbon-fibre bike frame versus an aluminum frame. Gourmet ramen versus instant noodles. It’s …
Features: Always-on screen, new to the Series 5 Lightweight, comfortable watch Speaker, microphone for calls Siri voice assistant Reply to notifications Apple likes to do things its way and they are very good at it. The Apple Watch Series 5 will not play nice with Android phones. Other smartwatches at least try, even if they …
My first ever smartwatch was a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, hence when it came time to review the Samsung Galaxy Watch, I was completely confused. Am I seeing a doppelganger? A clone? A pirated version? When I turn on both watches, it confirms that I have two different watches because they have different start-up screens. …
Mobvoi’s Ticwatch range has always intrigued me as some of the best budget Wear OS watches out there. Upon taking the Ticwatch E2 out of its box, I immediately had a few thoughts about it. It was definitely very similar to the Ticwatch Pro but less “Pro.” For one, it has a completely plastic watch …
Don’t let reports of lower than expected smartwatches fool you. The Samsung Gear S3 is a popular smartwatch and it’s flying off the shelves. I called/visited 6 local stores in a large city in an effort to get my hands on Samsung’s latest is the Samsung Gear S3 (I got the Classic model… my Frontier …
I can definitely say that Fitbit designed a unique fitness smartwatch with the Blaze. It has a steel frame into which the square watch component clips. While some people call this an advanced fitness tracker, I qualify it as a smartwatch. It has a watch and several smart features. In my view, it’s more than …
Phew! No longer do we need to wear inappropriate looking “fitness” or “space-age” watches all the time. It’s Fossil to the rescue with a large and growing fleet of nicely designed smartwatches. Unless you’re an outright Apple geek who buys everything Apple pumps out, you probably didn’t get too excited about smartwatches when they first …
