This is my third blood pressure monitor review in recent months, having recently reviewed both the Braun ActivScan 9 and the Omron Evolv. As highlighted in my other reviews I used to be a stressed, fat heavy drinker that would get palpitations when I tried to sleep. Since then I have always been a bit…
I have reviewed some smart kitchen appliances in the past including a kettle and coffee machine, but the smart home trend seems to have been slow to spread into the kitchen. At IFA 2018 this changed somewhat and there were many connected devices including fridges, ovens and washing machines. Philips also has two exciting gadgets…
The Philips Sonicare brand is still the number 1 recommended sonic electric toothbrush brand by dental professionals worldwide and is typically one of two brands anyone uses when it comes to electronic toothbrushes. Therefore, it was not surprising that Philips had a large section of their hall dedicated to their dental solutions. Many people don’t take…
Philips had one of the more impressive booths (actually a full hall) at IFA 2018. Their lighting and TV products deservedly get a lot of headline attention but I think their health and kitchen tech deserves just as much praise. Philips appears to be making a big move into sleep and health tech this year,…
The Milestone Pod is not a new device, but I have been plagued with running injuries the past couple of years, especially shin splints, and with my first marathon next month I have been exploring options to improve my running. Running pods are not as popular or well known as other sensors that people use,…
I take my heart health quite seriously after spending so many years fat and stressed. PR companies appear to have noticed this and I have recently covered 2 blood pressure monitors and also have another to review. In the past, I covered the Azoi Kito+ ECG which sold for £99 but they appear to have…
While most people opt for Garmin multi-sport watches there are still a few decent alternatives, with the Suunto 9 being a popular choice for ultra-endurance athletes. Now Polar are throwing their hat in the ring with the new flagship Polar Vantage V. Similar to Suunto, Polar appears to have avoided trying to compete with the…
The new iPhone may get all the attention and they look beautiful but let’s face it, its just the same old with some insane price options (£1400+!). I am a little more excited about the Apple Watch 4. The smartwatch scene has stagnated a little especially with Wear OS, this will hopefully improve with the Qualcomm Snapdragon…
Huami Amazfit smartwatches have been very successful in the past year or so, going against the grain of fully featured Wear OS based watches running Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100. The Amazfit range of smartwatches uses a proprietary OS with no third-party support and typically they use a low-cost Mediatek chipset. While there is no app support they offer most of…
Omron has been the dominant brand in blood pressure monitors for years and has more consumer models on the NHS validated blood pressure monitor list than any other brand I am aware of. The Omron Evolv is one of the models the NHS recommended list and is an attractive all in one unit designed for…
I have high hopes that Casio will release a Wear OS based smartwatch that will eat at the market share of the multi-sports watch industry dominated by Garmin. The announcement of the WSD-F30 PRO TREK isn’t quite that watch but it is a step in the right direction and based on the specification something was would still…
Sit-stand desks have become very popular in the past few years, I have reviewed several convenient options that convert your existing design to sit stand, but the StarTech option today is a little different. This is a wall mounted Sit-Stand Desk that includes a monitor arm and keyboard tray, if you don’t fancy drilling holes in your wall…
