Diesel On Full Guard 2.5 review

Diesel On Full Guard 2.5 review

Diesel’s no-holds-barred watch designs are awesome, so we hold its new smartwatch to a similarly high standard. Sadly, while Diesel holds its end of the deal up, the On Full Guard 2.5 is let down by a poor battery and the underlying Wear OS software platform from Google.

Garmin's new Forerunner 245 Music debuts with a bevy of new metrics, onboard maps, and music. Will these features help you make strides in your training? Is it for casual or serious athletes? We put the watch through its paces to find out.

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45 Golf Edition review

Tag Heuer’s known for its sporting partnerships, and this new Golf Edition Connected Modular 45 smartwatch is so into the game, it even comes with three specially-branded golf balls. It has got the looks, but has it got the talent? Surprisingly, it does, and there is more than just some balls in the package.

Alpina AlpinerX review

The Alpina AlpinerX is what happens when the Swiss watch industry gets smartwatches right. It combines the desirability of a Swiss-made timepiece with the convenience of notifications and smart features of a full smartwatch, with carefully judged accuracy. It’s as delicately balanced, and expertly made as you hope.
Armani Exchange AX Connected review

Armani Exchange AX Connected review

The Armani Exchange AX Connected smartwatch does everything right. It has strong technical features, a good design, and isn’t over-priced. However, it doesn’t stand apart from the competition, and relies too much on the appeal of the Armani name to convince people to buy it. Is that enough? The watch has been on our wrist for a while, and we’ve found out.
Scuf Vantage PS4 Controller Review

Scuf Vantage PS4 Controller Review

The Scuf Vantage is the best high-performance PlayStation 4 controller you can get with all the customization options a dedicated gamer can ask for. It gives the Xbox Elite Controller some solid competition but with such a high price tag, we have a few reservations about its issues.
Huawei Watch GT Elegant and Active hands-on

Huawei Watch GT Elegant and Active hands-on review

Huawei has launched two new versions of the Watch GT smartwatch, embracing a smaller screen and case size to go along with a new look for the larger model. But while it has not added many new features, it does expect you to pay more to own one. We’ve worn them to see if the higher price is justified.

Garmin Marq hands-on review

Garmin’s celebrating its 30th anniversary in style with the launch of its Marq range of luxury “tool watches,” which have special features that will appeal to adventurers, sailors, pilots, racing drivers, and the very sporty.

Fitbit Versa Lite Review

Fitbit Versa Lite review

Fitbit's Versa Lite smartwatch is the company's most affordable smartwatch, but this low price comes with some strings attached. To keep the price affordable, Fitbit trimmed some of the features it bundled in it popular Versa smartwatch. Is this a deal breaker? We put the Versa Lite through its paces to find out.
Casio Pro Trek F30 review

Casio Pro Trek WSD-F30 review

Casio has worked hard to make its new Pro Trek smartwatch suitable for more people by reducing the size, without compromising on features or battery life. By doing so, the watch has evolved to become suitable for the outdoor enthusiast and fans of the design alike. Here’s our review.

Do camcorders still make sense in 2019? Our camcorder buying guide

Camcorders were once the one-size-fits-all video solution for the masses, but they are much rarer today. As our phones continue to get better at video, the desire to buy a camcorder is decreasing, but there are reasons you may still need one, from increased zoom range and battery life to better audio.
nubia alpha review feat2

Nubia Alpha Hands-on review

The Nubia Alpha is the maddest wearable we’ve seen in a while. Described as a wearable smartphone, it has a 4-inch flexible screen that wraps around the top of your wrist, gesture controls so you don’t have to touch the screen, and even a camera. The style won’t be for everyone, and the price makes it a hard sell.
oaxis timepiece review feat

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 review feat

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

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

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.
foodmarble aire review feat

FoodMarble Aire hands-on review

Anyone who lives with a food intolerance will know the pain — literally and figuratively — of dealing with it, and even identifying what the cause of the problem is. 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.
Garmin VivoActive 3 Music

Garmin VivoActive 3 Music 4G LTE Verizon hands-on review

Garmin takes its already great VivoActive 3 Music fitness smartwatch and adds a 4G LTE connection, courtesy of Verizon. The watch now has streaming music, independent GPS, and best of all, SMS support and various safety features. We’ve tried the watch out at CES 2019 to see what it’s like.

matrix powerwatch 2 review feat

Matrix PowerWatch 2 hands-on review

Matrix has unveiled the PowerWatch 2 at CES 2019. Building off the PowerWatch X, the new smartwatch packs more capabilities into a smaller, sleeker case -- that charges solely using body heat and solar rays. We take a first look at the PowerWatch 2 to see exactly what the device has to offer.
huawei watch gt review feat

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 feat

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 full review

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 Vantage V review

Polar Vantage V review

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.
michael kors access runway review

Michael Kors Access Runway review

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 Watch Series 4 home screen.

Apple Watch Series 4 review

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 Revoew

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 feat

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

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 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.
Fossil Sport Review

Fossil Sport review

Fossil has released its first-ever smartwatch featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100. For $255, each quirky-colored version of the smartwatch comes packed with a heart-rate sensor, built-in GPS, and more. We took the Fossil Sport through its paces to see whether the new technology lives up to the expectations.
misfit vapor 2 review feat

Misfit’s next-generation smartwatch, the Vapor 2, packs built-in GPS, a heart-rate sensor, and more, into a beautiful design. Even though it’s a fashionable smartwatch, it’s still comfortable enough to work out with. We take a closer look at the company’s new device.
