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,…
Wahoo has just announced an incremental refresh of the popular ELEMNT ROAM. As the title suggests, the main upgrade is the shift to a new dual-band GPS chipset which will provide enhanced navigation. However, they have made minor upgrades across the board. The new bike computer has enhanced navigation, updated Summit Segments Climb, a higher…
Soundcore by Anker has launched its first pair of sleep earbuds. These join a small but growing list of in-ear devices that aim to help sleep, predominantly by reducing external noise. I have had these earbuds for a bit over a week, but I was unfortunately not provided the beta APK for the Soundcore app…
Today, Wahoo has announced a refresh of their flagship direct drive KICKR turbo trainer and the second generation of the KICKR BIKE. There is not a great deal to announce here, both devices are identical to the previous generation, but they now have WiFi. The KICKR V5, which was launched two years ago, introduced the…
Three years ago, I reviewed the Nectar memory foam mattress. It is a superb mattress, and one of the main selling points for me was the 365-day trial and a lifetime warranty. Mattresses are an expensive investment, and their comfort is highly subjective, having a 365-day trial ensures you have a mattress that suits your…
I have been a fan of smart scales for years, I found my Fitbit Scales, then Nokia (now Withings) scales were a significant help with my losing weight, allowing me to track the trend of declining weight compared to stressing about individual weigh-ins. Withings appear to be the only company attempting to expand the functionality…
A few days ago, I was mostly unimpressed with the Fitbit Sense 2 announcement, with very little difference between the previous generation and some of the new features not even available at launch. Yesterday, Garmin announced the new Venu Sq 2, and this launch is entirely different. Garmin has made massive improvements since the original…
Following on from yesterday’s comparison of the Fitbit Versa 4 vs Versa 3, let’s look at the new Fitbit Sense 2. The Fitbit Sense 2 is the flagship device from Fitbit; it has all the features the new Versa 4 has and more. This includes the new deeper integration with Google, including Google Wallet and…
Yesterday, Fitbit announced a big product refresh with three new products, the Sense 2, Versa 4 and Inspire 3. Fitbit used to be one of the dominant brands in the world of wearables, with a 38% market share back in 2014, according to Statista. However, that dominance has been decimated in recent years. You’d think…
The Evowera Planck O1 is a smart sonic electric toothbrush that I wasn’t aware existed until recently. It looks like it was launched in January 2022, and the Evowera brand was founded in 2017. The Planck O1 appears to be the only product they have developed, or at least currently sell. Outside of the two…
The original Garmin Enduro launched in February 2021 and targeted a niche segment of endurance users that needed incredible battery life. It was positioned somewhere in the middle of the 6X models and the none Pro options. It launched at a lower price point than the Fenix 6X Pro Solar and the Fenix 6X Sapphire…
