With the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of people seems to have gone one of two ways. Many people have used the lockdown period to take up exercise and start eating healthier (helped by a lack of access to restaurants and pubs). Many others have gained weight and often drunk a lot more than they should…
This week Samsung had a bumper Unpacked launch event announcing the Note 20 series, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Tab S7, Galaxy Buds Live and the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. The Samsung Galaxy Watch series has always been one of the best options for a smartwatch if you are an Android user. You typically…
With us all at home, likely for another couple more months at least, and the weather hotting up, demand for fans will likely be hotting up (sorry). If you just want a fan to cool you down during the day either in a hot office or while working from home, you can choose almost any…
Temperatures are hotting up again, and I am still on the quest to find the perfect fan for both office use and sleeping. As much as I would love an air conditioner, they are too big and expensive for me to justify the one or two weeks worth of warm weather we get up north…
With Garmin back up online many people probably don’t care how Garmin resolved WastedLocker ransomware attack that was carried out on their systems last week. However, BleepingComputer has received some key information about how Garmin got back online, and it could place Garmin in an awkward situation. BleepingComputer was the first company to confirm Garmin…

It is almost certainly a ransomware attack with multiple third parties confirming a $10m demand. Garmin has refused to state anything other…
Today Garmin has updated several of their most popular multi-sports watches, the Fenix 6 series, Instinct series and Tactix Delta. All the main features remain identical, but surf, mountain biking and climbing activities have now been added. The main difference is the new Power Glass lens material which offers a small increase in battery life,…
With Garmin dominating the upper end of the market, competing brands are looking at trying something different that not necessarily tries to compete like for like. We saw Suunto make a dramatic change with the introduction of a WearOS watch, sacrificing battery life in favour of all the functionality a true smartwatch OS brings. Now…
Notice how Google has still not made a smartwatch of their own? That’s because Smartwatches based on the WearOS platform have been a bit of a disaster, battery life has always been terrible, and this is largely thanks to the inefficient out of date chipsets made by Qualcomm. I can appreciate that Qualcomm is in…
Realme have been expanding their affordable options away from just smartphones, like the superb Realme 6, and introduced their wearables to the UK market for the first time. At just £50, the Realme Watch is the most affordable smartwatch on the market from a major brand offering a similar feature set to many fitness bands…
