Google says the Pixel Watch 5 can beat Apple and Garmin for GPS accuracy — so I decided to test all three watches myself on the London Marathon course

Wearables are competing on sensor fidelity, not just apps—route accuracy over 26.2 miles is a proxy for how much you can trust the data in your health or fitness stack. If you’re building on consumer telemetry, vendor choice now directly affects model quality and compliance claims around “clinical-grade” insights.

Tech & InnovationThe new reMarkable Paper Pure wowed us with its 'flawless' pad-and-pen experience, but it's far from the only great handwriting tablet on the market — here are our top alternatives

If you're standardizing devices for teams, optimize for sync, export, and security policies across tools rather than chasing marginally better handwriting experiences.
Tech & Innovation‘Decent visuals, useful satellite speakers, and handy portability’ — testing the Soundcore Nebula P1, I’ve been impressed how many quality features it offers for its modest price
Portable projectors are moving from novelty to a real alternative to mid-range TVs—wireless satellite audio plus travel-friendly form factor is the wedge. If you build hardware ecosystems, assume “good enough + portable + bundled audio” is now a competitive package, not a compromise.
