One of the screens would come in the form of a traditional…
These days we get to see a number of different smart watches. There are those that look and act like small computers, running a kind of specialized operating system, like Apple Watch, Samsung’s Tizen watches, Pebble and an array of Android Wear devices. Products made by Martian are different. First and foremost they look like…
After phones and tablets, we look at hot accessories and wearables that were announced at Mobile World Congress 2015.

On the other hand, the newly unveiled MB Chronowing Smartwatch arguably looks better than any other such device we’ve seen to date. The…
Even though the “regular” Xiaomi Mi Band isn’t widely available, the company is already working on its successor. Dubbed Mi Band 2, this device — according to GizChina — will sell for 199 Yuan (about $32), which is $20 more than the original Mi Band. So yes, we would expect that the extra cash was…
Fitbit has just announced three new devices, one of which is its very first smart watch. Even though the company doesn’t want it to call it a smart watch — it wants us to refer to it as “Super Watch” — this is a device with big screen that will show the current time throughout…
