Apple’s big press conference last week obvious focused on the companies latest and greatest smartphones, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. We’ve yet to get our hands on the new models so our review is forthcoming, but early reviews suggest Apple’s new iPhones are far less boring than some tech blogs might have led you to believe ahead of the iPhone 7’s debut. They’re hardly perfect and there’s no question that there are some issues that will bother users, but they’re easily the best iPhones Apple has ever made and they’re the most powerful smartphones on the planet by a wide margin. You can check out an iPhone 7 review roundup right here.
On Wednesday, however, attention is turning to the third new product Apple unveiled on stage last week during its big event: the Apple Watch Series 2. The early reviews are in and, as is the case with every second-generation gadget that has ever existed, reviewers are saying they wish this new version was the device Apple released in the first place. Thankfully there were a few more meaningful things said about the new Apple Watch Series 2, and you’ll find our review roundup below. More →
The Apple Watch is one of the best wearable devices money can buy, as long as money isn’t a problem. Apple keeps dropping the entry price of the Apple Watch, but the device is still too expensive for some people. However, Best Buy is ready to help out, as the retailer is hosting a massive Apple Watch sale right now. More →
Apple made waves with Nintendo news yesterday. Mario is finally coming to the iPhone. But that’s not the only hot Nintendo news that came out of Apples iPhone 7 event. The company also invited Niantic on stage to demo the Pokemon Go app for the Apple Watch that will make playing the highly addictive game a lot more fun. The Apple Watch is now cheaper than ever, and it’s available in a variety of flavors, so it’ll be a great addition to your gadgets collection. But if the budget is still a problem, you’ll be thrilled to hear that the Pokemon Go Plus wearable will be finally available next week. More →
It’s a big day for Apple today, with the company expecting to announce a slew of new products, including the iPhone 7, the Apple Watch 2 and more. The event is already underway and Apple didn’t wasted any time getting into the good stuff. Not only did we find out that Mario is coming to iOS, we also learned that Pokemon Go is coming to the Apple Watch.
And just a short while ago, Apple officially unveiled the Apple Watch 2.
The smartwatch market is a curious beast right now. There are sooooo many companies with smartwatches in their lineups but truth be told, there are only a small handful of devices that are actually worth purchasing. The rest are… how can we put this nicely? Junk.
Two models that definitely do not fall into the junk category are the Samsung Gear S2 and the Gear Fit2, and Amazon has a big sale going on eight different combined models. More →

The first iteration of the Apple Watch has been tremendously popular with early adopters, but there’s no denying that the device hasn’t exactly become the groundbreaking hit that many originally anticipated. Burdened with a less than intuitive UI and just barely acceptable battery life, the Apple Watch has remained more of a niche product than a mainstream hit a’la the iPod.
The Apple Watch 2, however, has the potential to change that. According to a number of credible sources, the next-iteration of the Apple Watch will finally address many of the frustrations that made Apple’s original wearable, in the eyes of some, feel just a tad underwhelming.
When it comes to smartwatches, I normally maintain that simpler is better. By that logic, I should hate Samsung’s new Gear S3. It’s huge, bloated, and crammed with far more tech and radios than anyone should reasonably have attached to their wrists.
But thanks to the LTE radio inside and a partnership with AT&T, the Gear S3 has one killer feature that would make me choose it over a Pebble, or whatever Apple releases next.
Fitness enthusiasts looking for new gadgets to track and monitor their health during workouts should check out the two brand new gadgets that Fitbit just announced — the Charge 2 and Flex 2. The devices are available for preorder right away, but they’ll ship later in September and October, respectively.
The Apple Watch experience is not perfect, but the device remains the best wearable money can buy. Apple will further improve the overall Watch experience this fall once watchOS 3 is launched. But the worst thing about the Apple Watch will only be fixed once the Apple Watch 2 becomes available, a new leak from Asia indicates. More →
When someone says the name “TomTom,” fitness trackers definitely aren’t the first things that come to mind. But think about it… TomTom has a been making great hardware for years and GPS has always been the company’s area of expertise, so GPS fitness watches were a logical next step for the company. The TomTom Spark GPS Fitness Watch is a great option for iPhone users or Android users looking for a solid fitness tracker with built-in GPS, and you can save some serious cash by taking advantage of Amazon’s current sale, which knocks up to $50 off six different Spark models from now through August 27.

One of the things we expect Apple and other device makers to fix in the coming years is battery life. We want more juice, but without compromising on features, especially when it comes to smartphones and wearables, devices that can’t house generous batteries. A new report detailing the features of the Apple Watch 2 reveals that Apple is yet to fix battery life for its next-gen wearable, and the company will ditch a feature that some users want: cellular connectivity that would give the device more independence.

Did you hear? McDonalds started offering a wearable fitness tracker in Happy Meals this week, and promptly pulled said tracker this morning when it started giving people rashes. But not before we could get our hands on one. Here’s the review McDonalds would probably prefer that you didn’t read.
