Snap AR Spectacles hands-on: an ambitious, impractical start
It doesn’t take long to realize why Snap’s first true AR glasses aren’t for sale. The overall design is the highest quality of any standalone AR eyewear I’ve tried, and they make it easy to quickly jump into a variety of augmented-reality experiences, from a multiplayer game to a virtual art installation.

What Apple Watch really needs is a battery that lasts longer than a day
More than steps, more than active minutes, I've been focused on making sure I get enough decent sleep each day. That's been an issue working from home for so much of 2020-2021.
