The way in which the gambling industry has changed over the past few decades has been incredible to witness. No one would have imagined 30 years ago that rather than placing bets at your local betting shop, you would be able to do it all on the computer in your own home. Then, the next …
If you liked the look of the Huawei Watch GT Pro, you will likely love the Zepp Z. While I have not seen this in real life yet, it looks to be the best interpretation of a pilot watch in smartwatch form to date. The new Zepp Z is the second watch to launch while …
The smartwatch market has been relatively slow to take off. But demand for intelligent wearable devices has grown consistently year-on-year and is now bigger than ever. While we might typically think of smartwatches as being produced purely by the tech companies, these days, larger fashion brands have also moved into the market, massively expanding the …

During the Mate 20 announcement, Huawei also announced the new Watch GT and I found it almost as exciting as the phone release. As much as I love my Garmin Fenix 5 it cost me £350, and the plus models are about £600 and while they are technically smartwatches, they lack a lot of smartwatch …
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 …
The Android-based Wear OS platform has been getting a little long in the tooth with the platform struggling to gain traction, this has partly been down to no new system on chip being launched for it in the past 3 years.

Over the past 5 years I have become a bit of a fitness geek, which in turn has meant I have spent hundreds, if not thousands on fitness-related equipment and technology. One of the main areas I have been interested in is tracking my performance, I first dabbled with Bluetooth heart rate straps by Polar, …
Before I arrived at the #acerliveblog2014 even I was not aware of Acers plans to enter the fitness tracking market, so it came as quite a surprise when they lent me a Liquid Leap for the weekend. Priced at £79.99 it is exactly the same price as the Fitbit Flex however Acer have added several …
Garmin has been at the forefront of fitness technology for many years so it comes as no surprise that they have launched into the fitness tracker market in an attempt to compete with companies like FitBit. They have entered the market with 2 products, the Vivofit and the VivoSmart priced at £99.99 and £139.99. The …
