Every January, the world of consumer electronics heads to Las Vegas to spend the first full week of the year in the desert presenting, prodding, and gawking at all the new gadgets and gear debuting at CES. The show has once again delivered an avalanche of products, both innovative and vaporous, that will shape the […]
If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch for you. But there was only one Apple Watch when the smartwatch launched in 2015. A decade later, you’ve got three flavors to choose from: the entry-level Watch SE, the standard Series, and the rugged Ultra. Each appeals to a different demographic and […]
Amazfit might not have the name recognition of a company like Garmin or Fitbit, but its wearables consistently impress, with the Amazfit Active 2 being one of the best fitness trackers you can buy. And right now, it’s on sale for just $84.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is only $5 […]
I hate when friends and family ask me which LED face mask to buy. That’s because LED face masks are another prime example of the wild wellness west. There’s compelling science behind using red and infrared light therapy to address skin concerns, particularly wrinkles. However, wellness influencers have taken that concept and absolutely ran away […]
Lenovo is the latest tech company to get bit by the smart glasses bug. The company just showed off a pair of concept AI glasses at CES 2026. While these weren’t a working prototype, we have some idea of where Lenovo’s head is at. The lightweight frames weigh about 45g and have a 2MP camera […]

The new EMG handwriting feature, announced on Tuesday during CES, allows users to physically write with their hand on any surface, rather than texting. It’s currently rolling out as an […]
My biggest gripe about open-ear buds is that they’re rotten for loud city commutes. Cue a pedantic audiophile pointing out that the whole premise of open-ear buds is to not block out sound. Yes, yes. But the unfortunate truth is that often means if you want open-ear buds for one situation, you’ll have to buy […]
Wellness tech companies are increasingly interested in bodily fluids like blood, urine, sweat, and saliva. At CES 2026, it’s time to add menstrual blood to that list, too. Health tech startup Vivoo just announced the FlowPad, a roughly $4 to $5 menstrual pad that doubles as an at-home hormone test for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Users […]
