You’ll have to pay out of pocket, even if there’s no point of impact.

I was just chatting about The Moon, a movie I watched last year about a Korean astronaut getting stranded in space. It was a fun sci-fi flick but to my surprise, Korea actually launched its very first space agency last week. This comes at a time when China, Japan, and India have heavily invested in space exploration.

Starting today, Google’s Pixel Watch lineup is getting some new and improved safety features. The Pixel Watch 2 will get car crash detection, while both Pixel Watches will get improved fall detection. Car crash detection has been available on Pixel phones since 2019 and will work similarly on the Pixel Watch 2.

There’s a time and place for everything. In the privacy of my own home, I’ve got no problem saying “hey” to Google, Alexa, Siri, Meta, and on occasion, Bixby. But out in public?

All of them seem convinced that the best way to interact with AI assistants is to actually talk to them, not unlike the movie Her. In reality, I’ve rarely seen my friends and…

Polar makes good multisport watches. They’re just not particularly smart. That wasn’t always a problem because there used to be a clear line. Athletes went for Garmins and Polars. Casual users went for an Apple Watch, Fitbit, or Samsung smartwatch. Things are less clear now. There are more casual, stylish Garmins, while Apple and Samsung have their own smart multisport watches — and that leaves the $749.95 Polar Grit X2 Pro stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Grit X2 Pro is meant to be…

Amazon Prime Day 2024 is here and, with it, a whole bunch of deals on Apple Watches, Android smartwatches, or even just a regular ol’ fitness tracker. Fall product launches are right around the corner, but if you’re on a budget, now is a great time to snag discounts on higher-quality materials and last year’s premium devices. Wading through thousands of deals can be a pain, especially when you factor in the dozens of smartwatch models, sizes, colors, and materials. Never fear — we’ve already d…

A challenger for Shokz has entered the ring.

This is for everybody who wants a simpler way to track steps.

What a week for the brands.

Though, have you considered the humble audiobook?

Alas, my hunt for open-ear headphones continues.

There’s also a new Enduro 3 with even more battery life.

It’s the end of an era.

A decade is a major milestone. Where does it go from here?

Privacy will always be a major concern with smart glasses.

OLED schmo-led this is a great deal for a running watch.

This watch is what redemption looks like.

You need a Vision Pro to watch it, though.

The Bose Sleepbuds are back, baby. Kind of.
