Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music Review

Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music Review - Joie de Vivre

In a world dominated by the Apple Watch, devices from other manufacturers rarely make the headlines, no matter how good they are.

If you ask me, this is rather unfair, especially because there are companies out there that have a longer history than Apple in areas that are being tackled by the Apple Watch too, including here activity tracking.

Garmin is one of the top names here, as its fitness tracking gear is currently among the best you can get. And because the wearable industry is becoming fully-focused on smartwatches, Garmin has no other option than to steer its efforts towards such products too.

The Vivoactive 3 Music is a device that tries to combine the heritage of the company in terms of activity tracking with modern-day features like notification support, all with a little extra granted by the Music tag in its name.

At first glance, there’s not much to criticize. The Vivoactive 3 looks like a watch, it feels like a watch, and I truly love that.

BlackWidow Lite Review - An Almost Perfect Keyboard for Gaming and Office

The BlackWidow Lite mechanical keyboard is the odd duck in the mix, at least at first glance. Once you've started using it, Razer's plan to fill out this particular niche becomes clear. The notion of gaming keyboards is now firmly established, and if you ever go into a store that sells computers and peripherals, you’ll notice that all the gaming stuff has its dedicated space. These peripherals usually include mice, keyboards, mats, controllers, and so. In fact, it’s now a lot easier to pick up a gaming keyboard, with many more options being available to the public. Razer is no longer one of the few companies making these kinds of peripherals, and the company must fill in the gaps and niches. It’s obvious that the BlackWidow Lite keyboard fills a very specific niche, and we’re probably going to see a lot more keyboards that aim to appeal to people who don’t want a full mechanical keyboard or who want something akin to a gaming keyboard.

TicWatch S2 Glacier Review

For those keeping an eye on wearables, TicWatch is already a well-established brand because the parent company Mobvoi comes up with improvements, upgrades, and new models every once in a while. A few months ago, Mobvoi took the wraps off the TicWatch E2 and S2 , two smartwatches boasting fresh designs and features that you typically find on more premium devices. At that point, the Chinese company made several promises, and one of them was a white version of the S2. Originally launched in black, the S2 is a model that takes you by surprise when checking out the spec sheet, and it’s all because this is the way Mobvoi can set its smartwatches aside from the rest of the market. The company tries to build premium products without pushing the price tag to a level that would make them less appealing to customers, so it’s no surprise that at $179.99, ... ( read more )

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Review

While Samsung is currently the world’s number one smartphone manufacturer, an important part of its product portfolio is the tablet market, which the South Korean still sees as a priority in the long term. And truth be told, this just seems to be the correct approach. While I do think that tablets represent a pretty saturated business, the competition here is still quite fierce, especially as Samsung and Apple seem to go head-to-head when it comes to refined designs and improved features. But one of the things that Samsung has been trying to do, and Apple hasn’t been, is building more affordable devices specifically targeting customers that aren’t willing to spend a fortune on a tablet. And this is something that I consider to be a critical part of the strategy overall if these companies want to go after customers like me who might find tablets redundant, especially as phones themselves also increase in size and now come with larger displays. These people aren’t n... ( read more ...
