Oaxis Timepiece Review
The Oaxis Timepiece wants to be a traditional watch, a fitness tracker, and a basic smartwatch all-in-one. That’s a tall order, despite it sounding quite simple, so can the sub-$180 wearable manage to pull it off? We’ve been wearing it for a while to find out if it can complete the trifecta, or if it falls short.
Honor Magic Watch hands-on review
Honor has taken the Huawei Watch GT and made it a little smaller, designed it a little better, and come up with the Honor Watch Magic. The alterations are winners, for the most part, and we’ve tried the various different versions on to see if it’s a worthy alternative to Huawei’s own fitness-focused smartwatch.
Mobvoi Ticwatch S2 review
The Mobvoi TicWatch S2 is not the best looking smartwatch you’ll strap on your wrist, but it may be the toughest, and it’ll almost certainly be the cheapest. At $180, it has an astonishingly complete feature list that’ll appeal to anyone who spends time hiking, running, or swimming. We’ve been wearing it to see how it performs.
Mobvoi TicWatch E2 review
Want a smartwatch that can track heart rate, has GPS, and allows you to interact with notifications? Mobvoi’s TicWatch E2, which runs Google’s Wear OS platform, can do it all, for just $160. It only lacks NFC for Google Pay, but the thick body packs a bigger battery that lets it stay on for more than a day.

What was once a long and complex process, becomes something you can do anywhere, and at anytime, with the FoodMarble Aire. We took a closer look at CES 2019.

Huawei Watch GT review
The Huawei Watch GT shows what Huawei can do when it ditches Google’s Wear OS and comes up with its own smartwatch operating system. The result is a stylish watch with amazing battery life, and some strong fitness tracking features, but with some surprising omissions that limited the device’s audience.
LG Watch W7 Review
The LG Watch W7 is a Wear OS smartwatch, but it differentiates itself from the pack by offering mechanical watch hands. We appreciate LG’s efforts to try something new, but the execution on the W7 is flawed. At $450, the price is also steep for the limited features available on the smartwatch.
Mobvoi TicWatch C2 review
The Mobvoi TicWatch C2 smartwatch may be powered by an older Qualcomm chip, but it does pack all the fitness features you need -- including built-in GPS along with a heart-rate monitor -- and it runs Google’s newly designed Wear OS. For $200, it’s a sleek-looking smartwatch you’ll want to wear everyday.

Polar’s new Vantage V is a high-end fitness tracker with more features than you can shake a stick at, and an updated look to compete with the best looking smartwatches out there. But with no actual smartwatch features at launch, can the fitness veteran really compete? We’ve reviewed it to find out.

The Michael Kors Access Runway boasts important health and fitness features, all packed into a beautiful case. While it includes Google’s newly redesigned Wear OS, it doesn’t include Qualcomm’s latest chipset. Is it still worth the purchase? We take a closer look.

Apple already ruled the smartwatch market with the Apple Watch Series 3, but the Series 4 elevates it to new levels with more screen, a sleeker design, and a world-first electrocardiogram app that lets you keep tabs on your ticker.
Montblanc Summit 2 review
Montblanc’s Summit 2 is the first smartwatch to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor. It’s feature packed with GPS, NFC for Google Pay, and a heart rate sensor, but it also has a classic timepiece design that will leave you questioning whether it really is a smartwatch. It’s expensive, but it’s the luxury smartwatch to buy.
Sonos Amp review
With its new Sonos Amp, Sonos reinvents its first product with a view toward making it more appealing to custom AV installers and consumers alike. With more power and more features, it mostly succeeds, but comes at a steeper price.
Skagen Falster 2 review
Skagen unveiled the Falster Wear OS smartwatch earlier this year, and not even a year later the Falster 2 has arrived. It’s still one of the most beautiful smartwatches available, and the new model adds NFC, GPS, and a heart rate monitor. Our Skagen Falster 2 review explains why this is among the best stylish smartwatches around.
Huawei Band 3 Pro review
Huawei’s latest fitness tracker is the Huawei Band 3 Pro. At $70, the Band 3 Pro is meant to be a versatile device that can be worn both day and night while also providing advanced fitness tracking when you need it. But with very few differences from its predecessor, is it worth the upgrade? Find out in our Huawei Band 3 Pro review.

TiVo Bolt OTA for antenna hands-on review
Free over-the-air programming isn’t available in 4K, so why would you want a 4K OTA DVR? We’ll discuss what makes the new TiVo Bolt OTA a viable choice for cord-cutters with 4K UHD TVs who want to get ahead of the game. With a cheaper starting price than its previous OTA DVR, and a much faster interface, this could be the best OTA receiver on the market.
Sony UBP-X800 review
With gorgeous 4K HDR picture and high-end audio decoding that includes support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Sony’s UBP-X800 is the best Ultra HD Blu-ray player on the market right now -- and it’s more affordable than you might think. If you’re looking to take your home theater to the next level, look no further.
Google Pixel Stand review
Google’s new Pixel 3 smartphones can wirelessly charge, so the company is releasing its own wireless charger. But the Pixel Stand is no ordinary charger -- it’s packed with smart features that enhance your phone even when it’s out of your hands. It also makes Google Assistant far more accessible.
North Focals hands-on preview
North, formerly known as Thalmic Labs, has unveiled a new product alongside the brand-name change. Focals is a pair of smartglasses, like Google Glass, that attempt to help keep you heads-up in the present, instead of staring down at a screen. It costs $999, and pre-orders have begun.

Fossil Q Venture HR review
Starting at $255, the Fossil Q Venture HR brings along top-notch health and fitness features -- including heart-rate and built-in GPS -- without having to sacrifice style for everyday wear. We take a look at what it has to offer, and take Google's newly redesigned Wear OS for a spin.
Astell & Kern SP1000M hands-on review
Astell & Kern have launched the SP1000M music player, which despite the similar name, is not only smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the SP1000 music player; but the company claims it sounds better too. An impossible formula? We tried one out to see if it’s true.
Mobvoi Ticwatch S review
Mobvoi’s Ticwatch S is one of the most affordable Wear OS smartwatches on the market. For $160, you’ll not only get built-in GPS but also a heart-rate sensor -- adding more capability to your workouts and daily activity tracking. But are the features enough to look past the unique design? We take a look in our review.

We went out into the wild to find out how the Suunto 9 stacks up against the competition.
Skagen Falster review
After six months, the Skagen Falster is still our favorite Wear OS smartwatch. It doesn't have a lot of features, and it doesn't have good battery life, but we're mesmerized with how it looks -- and can't keep it off our wrist. The Falster shows the importance of design in a smartwatch. Here's our review.

Casio’s second-generation smartwatch -- the Pro Trek Smart WSD-F20 -- features a GPS sensor, along with the same outdoor tools as last year’s model, such as an altimeter, barometer, and compass. It runs Wear OS, which means you can also access your notifications. The new WSD-F20A model adds a new color.
