The Suunto 7 has so far been the most exciting piece of news to come out of CES 2020, time will tell if it is any good, but it is interesting to see a sports watch company make such a dramatic shift to WearOS. Previously, Polar launched the M600 with WearOS all the way back…
Everyone has been expecting a Suunto 7 but I am not sure anyone had predicted that the new watch would be a WearOS device. I feel like they could have differentiated the watch with a different naming scheme as it is a little confusing to have a WearOS watch sat in the middle of two…

While there are many touchscreen gloves on the market, many only provide a moderate amount of protection from the cold. The Mujjo insulated touchscreen gloves offer a level of protection from the cold that many can’t compete with, thanks to the 3M Thinsulate…
Last year I managed to get the Tacx Flux S for just £399 and it has been one of my favourite buys in the past year or so. I probably don’t train on it in a structured manner like many cyclists, but I love the flexibility it gives me when I don’t have time to…
While not exactly tech or a gadget, I have covered mattresses quite a bit on this site, good sleep is an essential part of your health and overall fitness and will have a far superior benefit than buying the latest sports watch. I have previously focussed a lot on memory foam mattresses, they tend to…
I have reviewed several memory foam mattresses now during my quest to improve the quality of my sleep and with Black Friday near, many companies have started their sales. So what are the best offers available right now? Nectar Memory Foam Mattress II reviewed the Nectar memory foam mattress back in January and I still…
