Apple Watch Ultra

Apple has now been making its Watch series for a good few years, most of which have followed roughly the same formula. The Apple Watch Ultra takes all of the good bits of previous designs, and piles as much as possible on top. While the result is a smartwatch that is by no means cheap, it has also resulted in the perfect device for athletes of all practices. Apple has kept divers, climbers, tennis players, martial artists and everyone in-between in mind. It is durable, water-resistant up to 100 metres, can deal with extremely low and high temperatures, has an impressive 36-hour battery life, and has detailed apps to track your fitness and health.

Beats Studio Buds

Promising crystal clear sound and up to 36 hours of battery life (nine hours from the earbuds themselves and 27 hours from the included charging case), the Beats Studio Buds wireless earphones are a cool gadget. Microphones in the Studio Buds ensure that you can not only listen to clear and bassy music without dangling cables but also take calls. With one-touch pairing to Apple devices and Android you can easily set up a Find My account for the earbuds to help find them if they’ve gone missing. Best yet, the Beats Studio Buds are available in three colours, including transparent (which is super cool) and come with four sizes of ear tip options so you can personalise your fit to match your ears.

The Fully Obedient Stormtrooper

When it comes to the Star Wars franchise, one thing stands out for sure: the legion of its fanbase continues to grow at an unabated rate, and with Disney taking over the entire franchise, you can be sure that more money-spinning blockbusters are going to come your way, even though many of the older fans might see these new films to be nothing more than a way to milk more cash from moviegoers. Apart from the movies alone, merchandise plays a very important role in the Star Wars universe, with thousands upon thousands of products released throughout its history. If you think that you would like to own a $229.95 Fully Obedient Stormtrooper, then do check out what Hammacher has to offer.

The Laptop Vest has just enough room for the essentials

When you carry a big bag, it’s hard not to stuff it full of things that aren’t a must-have during the day, but keep around anyway for just in case scenarios. Most days, you really just need your laptop, charger, and day planner, with space somewhere for your keys and wallet. However, finding a bag that will accommodate this small amount of items without having more pockets and compartments than necessary isn’t the easiest.
If you want to travel with the least amount of literal baggage as possible, the Laptop Vest might be your new favorite backpack. This looks more like a bulletproof vest than anything, but this breathable neoprene and air mesh backpack will be able to store your laptop, as well as whatever else you can fit in the other two zippered compartments. It has a water resistant exterior, is stain resistant, and can be tossed in the washing machine. You will want to leave it out to drip dry though, lest you want to destroy it.
There are three compartments in all, with an additional shoulder pocket. This can be adjusted to fit comfortably thanks to a sternum strap, and it’s thin enough that it can fit under your coat. It is said that this can hold anywhere from a 10-15 inch laptop, but that remains to be seen. This will cost you $25, and is available in black or green. This seems like it would be useful for walking commuters who occasionally have to deal with inclement weather, and wish they had a bag that could be fully covered by an umbrella or coat without making them look like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

The Cooling Mist Fan will keep you cool as a cucumber

Air Cooling Mist Fan
During the winter months, we can add layers, start up a fire, turn on the heat, or a variety of other options when we’re cold. When it’s hot out, there are only so many layers you can take off. All we can hope for is the air conditioning to work, and lots of cold water.

Xplore XC6 ultra rugged tablet review

xplore-xc6-review-1

I know that we just took a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 LTE yesterday, and here we are with yet another tablet that might just interest you – assuming your work environment is a whole lot harsher compared to the regular office drone. Of course, while the average tablet is not exactly waterproof, and neither are they able to stand up to all kinds of abuses, here is the Xplore XC6 ultra rugged tablet that will be able to take plenty of punishment – and then some, shrugging it off like nothing happened.


The Razer JungleCat is for mobile gamers who are always on the move

Mobile gaming is the best way to fill a few minutes on a bus or train while on your way to work. Some are embarrassed about the genre of game they play, trying to hide their screen from others around them. On the other hand, there are those who embrace their geekery in full force, by purchasing accessories to make gaming easier.
