Smartwatch Wars Part Two: Garmin Instinct Solar vs Casio G-Shock (any of them)

One of these is not a smartwatch by the true definition of the word, but for many it offers all of the smarts they need. The following Casio G-Shock GW-M5610-1ER, for example, is definitely smart- 1/ Satellite time keeping makes for to the second accuracy at all times. 2/ The backlight will turn on when […]

Smartwatch Wars Part One: Garmin Instinct Solar vs Apple Watch series 6

The Garmin Instinct Solar is everything the Apple Watch series 6 is not and vice versa. I can think of no two products so different that technically do the same core thing, but the gap between the two is gigantic. Some quick specs- As you can see they really do differ in terms of their […]

Spigen Lite Fit: the best Apple Watch strap I have worn

You can pay £99 for a Braided Solo Loop, £49 for a Sport band or even £349 for a Silver Link Bracelet from Apple. Or you could treat yourself to a Hermès Ébène Barénia Leather Single Tour Deployment Buckle for a mere £539. The world of Apple Watch straps is an expensive one, at least […]

Apple TV 4K vs Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD

My Apple TV is old and a pain to use these days; the software is noticeably slow compared to any other device I use, starting a streaming seems to take forever and the remote is completely unintuitive (and gets lost far too easily). I cannot blame the product itself due to the age, but when […]

How good is the iPad Air?

I have owned the new iPad Air for a couple of weeks and have been more than a little impressed by the way it works. The design is sweet enough with modern sharp edges and it feels good in the hand, but as ever a case covers this and makes the choice of a new […]

The Twelve South SurfacePad gets better the more it breaks

Back in December I reviewed the Twelve South SurfacePad and I concluded by saying the following- It has taken me a very long time to try the SurfacePad, but I am glad I did and my iPhone 11 Pro currently resides in it. For days indoors and for when popping to the shops and a […]

Twelve South SurfacePad for iPhone (11 Pro) review

This is an accessory I have considered for a very long time, but somehow I have never bought one and I wasn’t really sure why. The price has always been a stumbling point for me, close to £50, and when married to the lack of practicality it felt like a bit of a luxury item […]

Eono by Amazon – Case for iPhone 11 Pro thoughts

This case is unique for one very simple reason- you get to choose the colour button covers you want to use and a variety of options are included in the box. This is obviously a novelty, but for £9.99 the case itself stands up well against the competition. It fits very securely and has a […]

elago AW6 AirPods Pro Case thoughts

Please read until the end, I was totally wrong for most of this review. I bought this case on a whim purely because it looked quite cute. I was also suckered in by the positive reviews, the owner photos (maybe mine is an anomaly?) and the retro styling. And then I opened the box, attached […]
