Garmin Epix Gen 2 review: The ultimate fitness watch
The Garmin Epix might be the king of smart fitness watches, delivering more health metrics and detailed information than any other device.
The Polar Ignite watch rekindled my fitness efforts and then doused them again
The Polar Ignite boasts heart rate tracking, built-in GPS, and in-depth activity and sleep tracking all wrapped up in an understated package, but it has a lot of competition. I tried it out for a week or so to see how accurate it is and to try and get some motivation, but the goals proved tough to meet.
It has LTE and a voice assistant, but the DokiPal kid’s smartwatch is a letdown
If you want to track your kids and call them, or enable them to call or message you, then a smartwatch can be a good alternative to a phone. I tried out the DokiPal smartwatch, which boasts LTE connectivity and a voice assistant, as well as fitness tracking, a camera, and more, but it did not work well.
Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 impressions: All the fitness tracker you need
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 is one of the best value products available, and one of the only fitness bands you should consider buying. It costs a lot less than similar wearables from the big-names but does just as much, plus it has a colorful AMOLED screen, and even the option to change watch faces.
Xplora 3S impressions: A kids smartwatch for calls and location tracking
If you want to keep tabs on your kids, but feel they are a bit young for a first smartphone, then the Xplora 3S kids smartwatch might be exactly what you need. The battery life is about two days and it doesn't have any games. But we tested it out with a discerning 7-year-old to find out what it's like.
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.
To be blunt, the Vuzix Blade smartglasses just don’t cut it
We tested out the Vuzix Blade smartglasses for Android or iOS to find out what they’re capable of. There’s a built-in camera, a LED projector that displays content on your right lens, and a bunch of apps and games. Are these $1,000 smartglasses worth your while?
Casio’s all-metal G-Shock uses its smart tech carefully, and for best effect
Casio has proved that not all connected watches have to be complicated, or have poorly designed apps, with its G-Steel GST-B100XA watch. While it won't challenge the Apple Watch for functionality, it does make the watch easier to use, and is never frustrating or unreliable.
Beddr SleepTuner hands-on preview
Get past the fact you’ll be in bed with a sensor on your forehead, and the Beddr SleepTuner may be the first step in curing your sleep problems and improving your overall health. This clever piece of tech can detect the causes of sleep apnea, and provide advice on how to mitigate them, after just one night wearing it. We took a closer look at CES 2019.

Fossil Q Neely Hybrid review
With the Fossil Q Neely, bigger isn’t always better. This beautiful watch comes with tons of smart functions but keeps a traditional look. As Fossil’s smallest hybrid smartwatch, you can track your activity, receive notification alerts, and even calculate your commute time.

MyKronoz ZeTime review
