The Hydrow rowing machine stands out for its outstanding rowing mechanics that are as smooth and quiet as rowing on water. It comes with a 22-inch touchscreen display that adds a new dimension to your workout. Instead of exercising alone, you can join others by connecting to either live or pre-recorded rowing classes. You also can row on iconic international waterways like Massachusetts’ Charles River in an immersive experience that includes the singing of birds and the noise of your virtual boat cutting through the water. All these interactive features do require a monthly subscription but the cost is less than most monthly gym memberships.

Starfish-inspired patch solves key issues for wearable heart sensors
Heart rate sensor inspired by Starfish.

The domain of wearable devices has grown by leaps and bounds, not just in terms of mass adoption, but also owing to some astounding innovations. Wearable heart rate sensors can now measure everything from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to ECG in form factors ranging from a watch to finger rings.

These sensors, however, come with an inherent set of problems. Motion artifacts arising from movement or vigorous activity alter the blood flow and affect their accuracy. Optical heart rate sensors (photoplethysmography or PPG tech) also struggle with darker skin tones, tattoos, or even body placement.

You Asked: What’s the most impressive thing you saw at CES?
You Asked CES Editors Cut

On today’s special edition of You Asked, we tracked down each of our editors and put them on the spot to find out what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw at CES 2025 in Early January. Let’s find out what they had to say.
Panasonic Z95B

There’s been some really cool TV tech at CES, but the thing I’m most excited about is the new Panasonic Z95B.

It features individual red, green, and blue layers (two of the latter) for the emissive light.
