 The Sony SmartWatch 2 still goes for $199.99 new, but today you can get one around your wrist for less than half the price. Cow Boom, a Best Buy brand, has pre-owned Sony smartwatches in stock that it's willing to let go for $79.99. These may come with scratches and dents, but they're still going to work. I'll admit, that may not sound entirely compelling, but that's the risk you take whenever you buy something used. [Deal Alert] Get...

Fugoo Bluetooth Speaker Review: This Is The Speaker I'd Make If I Made Speakers

The number of Bluetooth speakers I've looked at in the past year (give or take) is vast. As a result, I feel like I have a good understanding of what's available on the market, as well as what offers the most bang for the buck. As time has gone on, I've started holding each new speaker to a higher level, because the competition is just too stiff not to. Manufacturers absolutely have to one up the other guys if they want to stand out in this...

Kairos Hybrid Smartwatch

For many smartwatch manufacturers the gap between technology and fashion is too wide a leap.

Goondu review: Martian Passport smartwatch

The Martian Passport looks more like a watch than many other smartwatches today, but does it do its job of looking good and being practical? For starters, it tells time with the hour and minute hands taking up some two-thirds of the watch face. The remaining space is taken up by a digital screen fulfilling the smart functions. If this seems like someone decided to slap a smart design onto a regular quartz watch, well, it does. Fortunately,...

Creative Labs SoundBlaster AXX 200 Bluetooth Speaker Review: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We review a lot of Bluetooth speakers, most of which have the same basic features. Every once in a while, however, one comes along that brings more to the table in terms of flare, or additional usage that's outside of the normal scope. The majority of portable speakers pair with your wireless device, let you change tracks and volume from a distance, might charge external devices...and that's essentially it.Then Creative Labs made the SoundBlaster...
