Garmin Lily 2 Classic review: Classy smartwatch for women

A lot of smartwatches out there look like a bulky, heavy piece of technology, strapped on your wrist.

HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 review: Fine-tuned health & fitness tracking!

Smartwatches and fitness devices are increasing in popularity, and for good reason: the modern lifestyle isn’t necessarily healthy, and as we’re growing older, we realize that our health and fitness should be a real priority. Or at least, this is how things have been for me. These devices can help you become and stay fit, as well as evaluate and improve your overall health.

ASUS ROG Destrier Ergo review: The Sci-Fi ergonomic chair!

Even though I’ve been using gaming chairs for years, I’m not generally too fond of them. That’s because some of their features, like lumbar and neck support, are usually poorly designed and don’t really help in improving your health and posture. They’re mostly marketing gimmicks, not real, well-thought-out features. However, there are exceptions, like the futuristic ASUS ROG Destrier Ergo (SL400), which received many
