After a busy summer of launches, Garmin hasn’t had any big releases for a few months. The Garmin Bounce was launched in January, and the Garmin Instinct Crossover in November. The Garmin MARQ Gen2 launched in October, it’s based on the Garmin Epix, but due to the price, it is quite a niche product. It…
Changing the band on your Apple Watch is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Whether you want to change the band for a new look or to replace a worn band, the process is essentially the same. Apple sells multiple styles of bands. You have the default band that…
I am a big fan of all things to do with health technology. I used to be very unfit and unhealthy, and using technology has helped me understand my body better and how to improve both my health and fitness performance. I am also getting old, so monitoring various health aspects has become increasingly important….
At CES 2023, Withings unveiled its most unusual piece of health tech to date, the Withings U-Scan. This is a breakthrough in-home biomarker analysis platform, and it goes inside your toilet. One of the company’s most technologically advanced devices to date, U-Scan is a miniaturized health lab that hygienically sits within any toilet bowl to…
I have covered quite a few blood pressure monitors over the years. I think it is an important health metric to monitor regardless of age or fitness. We live in a stressful world, and the majority of people in the UK and the US are overweight. Monitoring your blood pressure is a good way to…
I have covered air purifiers and indoor air quality quite a lot in the past couple of years. For the air purifiers, these have all just been based on HEPA filters. Even though air purifiers can get expensive, they are essentially just big fan shoving air through a filter, which does make you question why…
My first experience with indoor smart turbo trainers was the wheel-on Bkool Smart Pro 2. I later bought and reviewed the excellent Tacx Flux S, I think I paid £400 for it during Black Friday, and it turned out to be an amazing investment which later served me incredibly well during all the lockdowns keeping…
After years of not reviewing a bike computer, I am on my third in a little over a month. Recently I reviewed the excellent Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM V2. I also reviewed the Mio Cyclo Discover Pal, which is not as good, but has some unique features that will appeal to leisure cyclists. The problem with…
This post was originally written in February 2020. While I was a little critical of the Oral-B IO at first, this was more due to the over-inflated prices toothbrushes launch at. Amazon currently states its RRP as £449.99, which is enough to buy a decent laptop or a decent phone. However, as always, almost immediately…
Mio is best known for its range of dash cams and in-car navigation systems. However, they have also used their GPS and mapping technology to produce a range of bike computers. These computers are more focused on casual cyclists rather than the stats-obsessed fitness-focused cyclists that Garmin and Wahoo appeal to. The Cyclo Discover Pal…
Wahoo is being quite proactive about developing the Wahoo X platform (more so than Zwift). They still have a long way to go, I think they really need to fold RGT and SYSTM into one platform, but I imagine this will take quite a bit of time. The latest announcement is for both SYSTM and…
Early in October, Wahoo announced a refresh to the ELEMNT ROAM. This is an incremental upgrade with the product retaining its name, but to avoid confusion, I will refer to it as the ELEMNT ROAM V2. While I have reviewed quite a lot of smartwatches and multi-sport watches, I have not reviewed many bike computers,…
