Christopher Ward has just launched the most significant overhaul of its Sealander collection in five years. We’ve got two watches, the Sealander GMT and Sealander Automatic, comprehensively re-engineered, but instantly familiar. This isn’t change for its own sake. It’s the result of years of listening to customers. During the launch, Mike France compared these new watches to the Porsche 911 or Range Rover, which are slowly perfected over the years whilst keeping their distinct character. I’ve been wearing and reviewing Christopher Ward watches for a decade. I’ve watched the brand evolve from producing somewhat confused homage pieces into something genuinely…

OLED is the display technology my obsessive eyes can’t get enough of. I bought my first “Organic Light-Emitting Diode” TV back in 2015, and I’ve never looked back. Though I was once terrified of OLED burn-in, modern panels’ built-in pixel cleaning cycles make the threat of permanent image retention far less likely than before, meaning there’s really no downside to owning an OLED screen now. Alright, OLEDs normally cost more than LCDs, but that’s because, as a technology, the former is superior in almost every way. Sure, LCD/LED screens can get brighter than OLED panels, yet when the best LG…

For the casual music listener, certain audiophile terms have a connotation that might not accurately reflect their true meaning. You hear the term “lossless” and immediately think of a high-fidelity listening experience. Seeing that an audio file is “compressed” might make you think that it’s available at a lower quality than the lossless file. In actuality, compression is merely a method of reducing file sizes by getting rid of redundant data. It has little to do with the quality of the data compressed, since lossless compression techniques allow the original data to be perfectly restored. The only major uncompressed audio…

Apple Watch logs your sleep stages, monitors your heart rate through the night, and even keeps track of your skin temperature. But almost none of that works out of the box.  Spend 10 minutes in the right menus, though, and the Apple Watch will become a much better sleep companion to you. Here are the first settings I think are worth changing. 1. Set up your schedule Once sleep tracking is turned on (Apple Watch doesn’t actually track your sleep unless you tell it to), build a sleep schedule. In the Sleep section of the Health app, tap Full Schedule…

I try to get my hands on all the latest health tech. Fitness trackers, blood testing kits, you name it. So when I was invited to view a smart mirror, I was certainly intrigued. The Longevity Mirror by NuraLogix gives you one of the most advanced looks into your health that you can get at home, and I’ve never wanted a device quite so badly. The premise sounds like something out of Star Trek, which is probably why I grinned like a maniac while trying it at CES 2026. You peer into this unassuming mirror and let it scan your…

I have been really getting into running LLMs locally lately, and it has honestly become one of my newest hobbies. There are tons of cool things you can do once you get a local AI server set up. But one thing I keep noticing is that people get stuck before they even get started. Choosing your first model is the part that trips everyone up. But once you understand what you’re looking at, it becomes really easy. Related 5 useful things I do with a local LLM on my phone Privacy aside, a local LLM is just really convenient. All…

Anybody trying to cut the cord on cable has searched for alternatives for their viewing pleasure. Unless you’re giving up on TV altogether, you need to find ways to still watch your shows without having to pay those frustrating cable fees. Signing up for a cable package that gives you a ton of channels you don’t want and only some that you do makes little sense. Some people aren’t ever going to give up their cable package as they want access to live channels as soon as they turn on the TV. But what those people may not know is…

I’ve been using Android Auto for over six months now, and Google Assistant is my go-to for everything. However, I really wanted to try Gemini on Android Auto to see if it improved my driving experience. So, after spending a solid week relying on Gemini consistently, I’ve landed on a clear takeaway: it’s noticeably worse than Google Assistant. And I’m not saying that lightly — I have a few solid reasons for saying that. Related Gemini isn’t as useless as it was when you tried it two years ago AI that I first despised is now my Google Assistant replacement.…

It’s 2026, and CDs are anything but dead. No, really — compact discs are the best bang for your buck medium for starting a physical music collection. Admittedly, I’m a vinyl head, but you won’t beat CDs if your goal is to own digital and physical copies of your favorite albums. While vinyl surges and LP prices climb higher and higher, people are practically giving away their CD collections. You can build up a solid CD collection without spending much, and it’s easy to rip digital copies of your discs with free programs like iTunes, Apple Music, or Windows Media…

Apple is set to hold its annual developer conference in early June and, as always, there will be a lot to talk about, including new software for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Not only is it CEO Tim Cook’s last outing before he is replaced by John Ternus on 1 September, but it is another big event from Apple’s 50th anniversary year. In a previous announcement, Apple confirmed WWDC26 (Worldwide Developer Conference) will primarily be an online event as it has been for the last few years. But as usual there while there will be a ‘special” in-person part…
