After one week of warm weather, it is probably time for me to prepare for summer. I have previously covered the best pedestal fans for sleeping. The key to these fans is as many speeds settings as possible, allowing you to run it as slowly as possible and, therefore, silently. It is the opposite for…
This week, Polar announced two new watches, the Polar Pacer Pro and the standard Pacer. These are geared toward runners but should function well as multisports watches. The two watches shake up the Polar range, effectively making the M2 obsolete and reducing the appeal of their premium-priced watches. In theory, that’s good for the consumer,…
Zwift and Peloton are the biggest names in the game for indoor cycling, but they are certainly not the only options out there. For me, Peloton is prohibitively expensive, and some may feel that Zwift is too expensive too. While I make use of it, my Zwift membership is more expensive than my full gym…

The Withings ScanWatch was officially announced a couple of years ago and introduced several new clinically validated health-specific features, including ECG and blood oxygen readings. It retains the classic analogue style of the Steel HR,…
I was impressed with the Shokz OpenRun when I reviewed them at the start of the year. Now, during MWC 2022, the Shokz OpenRun Pro has launched in the UK. These new headphones up the audio quality but cost a bit more and are not quite as waterproof. Specification Battery life: 10 Hours Charge time:…
Everyone knows that Zwift racing categories are a complete mess due to riders entering categories well below their level of fitness or Full Time Power (FTP). Most serious Zwift racers, therefore, use Zwift Power, which forces you to ride in the correct category based on your FTP. If you ride in a Cat B race…
The Garmin Instinct proved to be a huge hit for Garmin. The Casio G-Shock design combined with a feature set similar to the Fenix at a more affordable price was very appealing. It is, therefore, no surprise Garmin were eager to continue this new line, and they have now expanded it to include a smaller…
Garmin is having a busy start to the year. We have already had launches for the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix Gen 2. One of the watches people have been eager to launch is the new Instinct 2. The original proved to be a popular launch acting as a sort of…
