What even is a field watch? Unlike most types of watch, this one cannot be easily and definitely described in a sentence, or with a set of specifications. Instead, it’s best to think of a field watch as one not worn “in the field” as such, but one that would look at home on the wrist of a soldier or pilot. Field watches therefore tend to have a vintage aesthetic, complete with smaller case diameters (meaning sub-40 mm), colourways often featuring brown or green, and sometimes even details that give them a faux patina. They also have simple, high-contrast dials with…
Redmagic’s latest gaming phone has arrived in China with a neat trick up its sleeve: liquid cooling.It’s an active liquid cooling system, as opposed to the passive vapor chamber systems that have become pretty common in high-end Android phones over the last few years, with a ceramic micro-pump to push liquid through the phone. It’s a first for phones, outside of a concept device built by OnePlus in 2023. Naturally, the design makes sure to show it off, with a translucent ring to highlight the moving coolant.The other big selling point is a huge 8,000mAh battery, bigger even than the…

It’s been a busy week in Switzerland – the kind that makes my inbox groan under the sheer weight of new watch launches. Between Hublot, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and Omega, there’s been no shortage of shiny new releases vying for attention. I’ve trawled through them all and narrowed things down to seven that really stood out. Of course, we also had the nostalgia-packed Casio x Back to the Future collaboration that’ll have film fans buzzing, as well as a gloriously retro digital watch from Seiko. But they’ve had their time in the spotlight – this list is all about the watches…

The new controls will let parents stop their children from speaking with AI chatbots entirely or block access to specific characters they don’t like, Instagram lead Adam Mosseri and Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang wrote in a blog post announcing the changes on Friday. Meta’s AI assistant is a notable exception to this rule. The company says it will “remain available to offer helpful information and educational opportunities” with “age-appropriate protections in place.”Meta said parents will also be given some form of “insight” into how their kids are using AI, though it was light on details for what this…
Introduction Even before I got it out of the box, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra had practically done enough to become the new king of Android tablets. No other brand makes anything as big – or expensive – as Samsung does, and this latest effort has only streamlined what was already a lustworthy bit of kit. That huge display is even brighter now; the chipset more powerful; the battery slightly bigger. Samsung has also given its software some love, with productivity-focused upgrades to DeX. It’s not a step up from the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra in every area, but improves…

For several years, Gurman has said that, according to his sources, the next major MacBook Pro revamp would add touchscreens, OLED displays, and a lighter, thinner frame. He reported last month that nothing has changed about that plan other than pushing it back from a late 2025 launch due to OLED supply issues, and today, he expanded on those rumors with details of codenames (K114 and K116) and other specs.While Windows laptops have had touchscreens for years, Apple has avoided them, instead adding the Touch Bar to its machines for a few years before changing course in 2021. The report…
Amazon shared some new details about its plans to help deploy more nuclear energy across Washington State, where the company is headquartered.About a year ago, Amazon announced an agreement with Energy Northwest, a consortium of public utilities in Washington, to support the development of up to 12 advanced reactors by the early 2030s. Once complete, Amazon would have the right to purchase electricity from the first 320-megawatt phase of the project. The additional capacity would be open to Amazon and local utilities to use.What’s different about these reactors is that they’re small and modular, which is supposed to make them…
Some people rarely lose things. Wallets are always exactly where they’re supposed to be, keys never go missing, and remotes never slip between the couch cushions. And then there’s the rest of us — the folks who can’t ever seem to find the thing that was right there a few seconds ago. For us, there are Bluetooth trackers.Bluetooth trackers have been around for a long time, and they all generally work the same way. You stick the tracker onto an object, pair it with your phone, and then, when you lose said object, you can go into an app and…
