I’m not in the market for a wrist wearable. I love my Apple Watch Ultra (and also my Oura ring), but POLAR is a great company and they should be applauded for making a screen-free and subscription-free product in 2025. I hope it’s a wild success for them!
Atomic is doing an MDR Dasher Keyboard. I’m not going to order one, but daaaaamn.
Not a fan of cassettes, but this is a pretty piece of hardware.
