I ditched my Apple Watch for an Oura Ring for a month — and learned once and for all which is my favorite
It feels absurd for me to say that I went a whole month without my Apple Watch.

So deciding to lock my Apple Watch Series 10 away and wear only an…

Just a couple of weeks later, the streaming service has now added “Train to Busan” to its expansive library, and this apocalyptic action-thriller is a high-speed ride that you simply can’t afford to miss.

The Apple Watch turns 10 — 5 reasons the OG smartwatch is still my favorite
I have a confession. I had little interest in the Apple Watch when it first went on sale 10 years ago. With a starting price of $349 — or roughly $472 by today’s dollars when accounting for inflation — and a rather clunky design, that first watch neither agreed with my bank account nor my sense of style. Back then,…
