Got some leftover ang bao money and not sure what to do with it? The right smartwatch can help you exercise better, get more organized, or sleep better (perhaps even all three). But with so many choices out there, how do you know which is the best for you...

Either you're reading this with a smartwatch firmly strapped to your arm, or you've yet to take the plunge. For iOS owners, that means only one thing. The first generation Apple Watch is undeniably an impressive bit of kit, but there's always room for im...

Even though my session with one strapped to my wrist was short, it's clear the Apple Watch finally seems to be finding its footing - instead of trying to bulldoze the competition by being everything to everyone.Even if you're not planning on being the nex...

Back in the first half of 2015 Apple released the first version of the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch was a long-rumored product, often referred to as the iWatch before its release. At the time, it represented the best attempt that I had seen to provide a...

In many industries, but especially in technology, there's a common wisdom about waiting for the second or third iteration of a product before purchasing it. This is based on the idea that the first version of a product will often be the most flawed or com...
