The watch itself not only looks cool, but it also has some pretty novel features that set it apart from other smartwatches. I should get out more I think is the takeaway here. It has to be. Within the first week of it being up, and in typical British style, it was battered by hail, rain and storms, before being roasted on the hottest day of the year.

Installation is easy enough, so long as you have a drill to fix it to your wall, and the EZVIZ app is refreshingly straightforward. You can toggle a full-screen live stream and hitting record will save the footage neatly to your camera roll, as well as in the app itself. This live view feature is ideal if you want to use the camera for other reasons, like keeping an eye on the kids while you work from home, or even as a nature-cam, and usefully, you can also hook up multiple cameras on the one system and share devices among users.

As for the video quality, daylight vision is exceptionally sharp, and the colours are true to life thanks to the full HD p resolution. It has an embedded algorithm that allows intelligent sensing, so it knows the difference between humans and the neighbourhood cat out for a prowl.

The smart night-vision mode uses two infrared LEDs that can see as far as 30 metres automatically and switches to colour monitoring when it detects human movement. That, along with powerful spotlights, any would-be thief is almost guaranteed to show their face on camera. Video history storage is via CloudPlay, for which you get a day free trial, or via Micro SD card for local storage. Rather than filling your backpack with a plethora of spare batteries, the NowLight is a hand-cranked instant charger that with a minute of tugging the attached chord can power your phone for 15 minutes.

But what really sets this apart from other chargers is the fact that it also doubles up as a lumen lamp, which is more than bright enough to light up any jamborees once the campfire has died out.

You can also attach up to six satellite lamps to light up the inside of even the most cavernous of tents. A DAC is one of the most important steps in digital audio processing. What if your earphones could give you a hearing test and tune your equaliser to reflect the frequencies you are most, or least, sensitive to? The company has now shrunk their clever tech and shaped it into a set of Bluetooth earphones called the NuraLoop.

The only EQ option you have or really need is an Immersion setting, which is basically a bass boost. The QLED display should be pin-sharp and colourful, HDR promises the blackest of blacks and whitest of whites, and a Hz refresh rate means motion should appear buttery smooth. What are the most annoying sounds you can think of? Nails scratching down a chalkboard? Car alarms? It could be that our ears, through thousands of years of evolution, are sort of designed to find these sounds particularly unpleasant to act as a warning that danger is imminent.

In fact, according to audio specialists Flare, the shape of the eardrum itself acts as a bell, adding 20db of distortion-causing resonance. This irritating distortion could impact on our mental and physical wellbeing, so the idea behind the Flare Calmer earplugs is that they change the shape of the eardrum to cut out the particularly annoying distorted frequencies between 2,, Hz.

By doing this, they claim to reduce ear fatigue, noise-induced headaches and overall stress levels. So does it work? For a start, it is noticeable that the very worst day-to-day frequencies are reduced, and this has the knock-on effect that they are ultimately less annoying.

The same can be said when you have them underneath headphones, and although they change the sounds slightly, it makes music a little warmer and notches down the intensity. Another side effect that has been noted by other users, not that I can verify and was entirely unexpected by Flare , is that it reduces the constant ringing experienced by those suffering from tinnitus.

The reassuringly familiar design of the HyperX Pulsefire Dart mouse is ergonomic and has satisfying leatherette side grips. The battery life on both headset and mouse far exceed that of a PS4 controller and can be charged wirelessly at the same time on the sleek Chargeplay Base. Nothing stirs the soul of a Brit more than the thought of a piping hot cup of tea. However, a cold and forgotten cuppa is practically an insult to Queen and country. The Ember Mug 2 is a very elegant if expensive , solution to this distinctly British problem.

By connecting the Ember mug to your smartphone via the accompanying app, you get a notification when your brew has reached your perfect temperature, and a heating element in the bottom of the mug keeps it toasty warm until you have finished every last drop.

Milk, no sugar and two bags please. Getting your camera out is an unusual way to begin your audio experience, but the payoff is well worth it with these cinematic headphones. And head-wobbling it is. These headphones are loud, bassy and super powerful, with swooshing lightsabers from all angles when watching Star Wars and explosions shuddering your whole body playing a spot of Call of Duty.

How clean is your water bottle? Who knows, but it probably could be cleaner given how difficult it is to scrub right into those distant corners at the bottom of it. The WAKEcup ml water bottle has an ultraviolet light in the lid that in three minutes promises to zap For me there was something deeply satisfying about slotting the tapes into the player, pressing play and getting lost in a ripping yarn, and the Yoto Player is a modern-day equivalent just as tactile and exciting.

Except it sounds good. Instead of tapes, this groovy little audio player works by slotting in cards, each of which contains a story to listen to.

Instead of a screen it has a cutesy pixelated display, which along with chunky buttons for volume and skipping tracks, the whole device is completely kid-friendly even my two-year-old was able to get to grips with it. Whatever the circumstances , keeping kids entertained without having to resort to a tablet can be a struggle, so the Yoto Player is a definitely one of the better ways to keep their little minds whirring and imagination sparked. Recently you might have noticed that social media is filled with deeply satisfying slow-mo videos of people pummelling their legs with massage guns, but what exactly is going on?

Well rather than having to fork out on physiotherapy, massage guns are like having a private masseur on hand for a quick post-workout session — the Theragun is the one such gadget. It claims to get 60 per cent deeper into your muscles than other massagers, increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, muscle tension, and working out any knots that have developed.

In fact, it was two weeks before I discovered you could switch it on without even needing to go through the app, however, once I worked out this now very obvious feature, I was using it daily. The Cowboy electric bike is now in its third generation, and the new model not only looks like one of the must-have bikes of the season but is also packed full of clever bike tech. As well as new hardware, the accompanying app has also had an upgrade, bringing with it auto-unlock to avoid fumbling around with keys, theft and crash detection, and even an air quality monitor for planning a smog-free route through town.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for one of the best Chromebooks out there, well then that is a different story altogether. Very classy. The new Logitech G TKL is a smaller version of their popular G gaming keyboard, so expect plenty of satisfying clunks while playing. Ditching the number keys to the right known as the tenkeyless form factor means the wireless keyboard has a much more compact profile on your desk and thus more space to swing your mouse around, while individual RGB lighting under each key means you can pick one of The MiniBrew CRAFT is an all-in-one worktop home brewing machine, which takes you from raw ingredients to a keg of around five litres of freshly poured beer in around 10 days.

The design follows the trends in running shoes over the last few years: a mesh upper provides lightness, the flared heel adds stability and a mixed density sole adds springiness. Where it differs is in its materials and manufacturing. The shoe is constructed out of materials made from wool, eucalyptus tree fibre and sugarcane rather than the usual plastics and rubbers derived from fossil fuels.

And the manufacturing process minimises carbon footprint and water use. Smartphones had technically existed for years, but none came together as accessibly and beautifully as the iPhone. What really made the iPhone so remarkable, however, was its software and mobile app store, introduced later. The iPhone popularized the mobile app, forever changing how we communicate, play games, shop, work, and complete many everyday tasks. The iPhone is a family of very successful products.

But, more than that, it fundamentally changed our relationship to computing and information—a change likely to have repercussions for decades to come. Renowned journalist Edward R. The Trinitron was the first TV receiver to win a vaunted Emmy award, and over the next quarter century, went on to sell over million units worldwide. The entire information age?

Was George Orwell right about ? But it forever set the standard for the way human beings interact with computers. It ushered in the phenomena of private space in public created by the isolating effect of headphones. It ran on AA batteries, allowing it to travel far from power outlets. Sony eventually sold more than million of the devices, which paved the way for the CD player and the iPod. Sure, the world had personal computers before the was introduced in Records by classical musicians and opera singers were popular purchases for the device.

From the transistors that amplified the radio signal to the use of printed circuit boards that connected the components to the eye-catching design, many factors conspired to make the TR-1 a holiday must-buy after its November launch. And as revolutionary as all this tech was, it only scratches the surface of how the Regency — by ushering in truly portable communications — changed the world overnight. For Kodak, the low-cost shooter was the hook that allowed the company to reel in money through film sales.

These people would go on to buy MacBooks, iPhones and iPads in droves, helping to make Apple the most valuable technology company in the world. Hitachi makes everything from aircraft engines to defense equipment, but perhaps nothing as personally stimulating. All business? Thirteen rechargeable battery cells were crammed into the casing to power the calculations, with results spat out onto thermal paper.

But featuring a tuner and timer, Philips device was the first to let television junkies record and save their favorite programs for later. Originally selling in the U. Its blocky 8-bit graphics looked nothing like the lavish, rousing illustrations on its game jackets, but the black-and-faux-wood Atari game console was the first gaming box to stir the imaginations of millions.

It sold poorly in the months after its launch in September , but when games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man arrived a few years later, sales shot into the millions, positioning Atari at the vanguard of the incipient video gaming revolution. Beep boop bop beep. Eeeeeeerrrrrrroooooooahhhh ba dong ba dong ba dong psssssssssssh. In the days before broadband, that was the sound the Internet made. Their use peaked around , as faster alternatives that carried data over cable lines arrived.

If you don't have a built-in ice maker in your freezer, the struggle is real.

This silicone ice tray comes with a container to hold your fresh cubes, so you can have a stash when you need it and make more at the same time. There's even a cover for the ice tray, which keeps your freezer free from spills.
