J’aime bien les bruits blancs pour me concentrer ou taper une petite sieste dans un endroit pas adapté pour ça :). Mon préféré c’est tout ce qui est bruit de cabine d’avion de ligne et je sais que d’autres préfèrent les effets genre feu qui crépite, bruit de la pluie…etc. Y’a des playlists entières de ça sur Spotify et même des applications même si en général elles sont un peu nazes.

Ces apps, ça démarre toujours avec une version gratuite limitée à 5 minutes, puis un vieux paywall pour débloquer les sons, et une notification tous les soirs à 22h pour vous rappeler de méditer. Sans parler des pubs qui cassent l’ambiance toutes les 10 minutes. Bref, c’est tellement relou qu’on finit par chercher “bruit de pluie 10 heures” sur YouTube comme un sauvage.

Mais y’en a quand même une qui sort du lot. Elle s’appelle Ambi et elle fait… du bruit. De la pluie, des vagues, des oiseaux, du bruit brun…etc. Y’a pas de coach virtuel à la con, pas de communauté à rejoindre, pas d’abonnement à payer… Elle fait juste du bruit et ça c’est cool car c’est plutôt rare de nos jours.

L’app fonctionne 100% offline. Tous les sons sont embarqués, et vous pouvez mixer plusieurs sons ensemble avec des volumes individuels pour chaque piste. Genre pluie + vagues + oiseaux si vous voulez recréer une plage tropicale sous l’orage. Vous avez aussi un timer qui va de 5 minutes à 10 heures, ou infini si vous voulez juste laisser tourner toute la nuit.

Puis comme c’est gratuit et sans tracker pourquoi s’en priver ?

Vous pouvez la télécharger ici sur l’ App Store .

Fin de journée, c’est presque le week end et en plus les vacances scolaires sont là ! Mais je ne pouvais pas finir ma journée sans vous parler de Vault. Vault c’est une application Electron pour Mac, Windows et Linux qui vous permet de sauvegarder vos liens, vos notes et vos images à 100% en local sur votre machine.

Vous installez l’app, vous créez un ou plusieurs “coffres” (des dossiers qui organisent votre contenu), et vous commencez à sauvegarder tout ce qui vous intéresse. L’app extrait automatiquement les métadonnées des liens que vous lui donnez, le temps de lecture estimé, les infos produit si c’est une page e-commerce, et comme ça, tout reste bien organisé dans votre interface.

Les CSV, c’est comme les cafards et les politiciens. Tout le monde les déteste, mais ils survivront à l’apocalypse nucléaire. Ainsi, pendant que les formats propriétaires disparaissent avec leurs éditeurs au fil des ans, ce petit fichier texte avec des virgules continue tranquillement de faire tourner le monde.

Par exemple, 80% des datasets sur Kaggle sont en CSV et toutes les APIs qui valent quelque chose proposent un export CSV. Même votre comptable, ce gros nullos en informatique vous envoie des CSV.

Et vous, vous ouvrez ça avec quoi ? Excel ?

Aïe aïe aïe, Excel, votre meilleure ennemi en ce qui concerne les CSV ! Vous double-cliquez sur un fichier de 100 Mo, et le ventilo de votre machine s’emballe comme si vous miniez du Bitcoin ! La RAM explose et, PAF, 15 minutes plus tard, l’outil de Microsoft se crash. Ou pire, il ouvre le fichier, mais il a transformé les IDs en formules de maths, vos dates en n’importe quoi, et votre UTF-8 est massacré.

Bref, pas merci Microsoft.

Et c’est pas un problème théorique. Rien qu’en 2020, le Royaume-Uni a égaré 16 000 cas de COVID parce qu’Excel a une limite de 65 000 lignes par feuille, du coup des milliers de cas positifs n’ont jamais été contactés par les services de santé. Même JP Morgan a perdu 6 milliards de dollars à cause d’une erreur dans un fichier Excel. Et des centaines d’articles scientifiques ont dû être retirés parce qu’Excel avait corrompu des noms de gènes en les transformant automatiquement en dates.

Le problème, c’est qu’Excel n’a jamais été conçu pour éditer des CSV. Excel, c’est fait pour les tableaux croisés dynamiques et les graphiques en camembert que personne ne lit mais surtout pas pour bosser proprement avec des fichiers texte qui font 500 Mo.

Alors en bon geek, vous vous êtes surement déjà dit : OK, je vais utiliser autre chose. LibreOffice ? Même combat mais en moche. Un chouette éditeur de texte comme Notepad++ ou Sublime ? Super pour voir les virgules, mais nul pour visualiser la structure. Et les outils en ligne ? Lents, pas sécurisés, et vous envoyez vos données chez oncle Sam la plupart du temps. Bref, vous êtes coincé !

Et c’est après cette intro interminable (je m’en fous, c’est vendredi) qu’arrive SmoothCSV3, un éditeur CSV développé par kohii et dispo sur GitHub et dont l’ambition affichée par le dev est claire : devenir le VS Code des éditeurs tabulaires. Rien que ça !

Le logiciel tourne sur macOS et Windows, avec Linux en approche. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur ma capture écran, l’interface ressemble à un tableur classique, mais sous le capot, c’est du costaud. Le dev annonce une execution 12× plus rapide qu’Excel sur un fichier de 100 Mo et niveau fonctionnalités, vous avez la recherche et le remplacement, le tri, le filtrage, l’édition multi-cellules mais surtout, vous avez des requêtes SQL directement dans le CSV. Oui, du SQL dans un fichier texte avec des virgules. Ça vous permet de sélectionner vos colonnes avec un WHERE, de faire des JOINs entre plusieurs fichiers, et de les grouper avec un GROUP BY. C’est encore plus magique qu’Eric Antoine !

Il y a aussi une palette de commandes à la VS Code. Vous tapez Cmd+Shift+P et vous avez accès à toutes les fonctions du logiciel sans quitter le clavier. Si vous avez déjà utilisé VS Code, Sublime Text ou IntelliJ, vous êtes donc en terrain familier.

Alors oui, le CSV, c’est moche, c’est fragile, c’est chiant à parser, mais c’est universel, ça marche partout et surtout, ça traverse les époques. Ce qui lui manquait c’était surtout un outil qui le traite comme une princesse, avec le respect qu’il mérite.

Most of us have been caught without a pen when inspiration strikes or a quick note needs jotting down. Carrying a full pencil case feels clunky for everyday life, but going without means missing out on spontaneous sketches, reminders, or ideas that slip away before you get home to your desk.

The Gifted concept reimagines everyday writing tools as a slim, modular set that fits in your pocket. Designed by Mingzhou Gu, this card holder blends writing instruments, a ruler, and magnetic modularity into a single, minimalist accessory that’s always ready when creativity calls or practical needs arise.

Designer: Mingzhou Gu

Gifted’s design centers on flexibility and simplicity through thoughtful modularity. The slim card holder features two magnetic slots on the back, each holding a writing tool that slides out easily when needed. You can choose between a pen, pencil, or marker depending on your daily tasks, swapping modules to match your workflow.

Some writing tool modules hide a foldout compass inside their bodies, adding a subtle layer of utility for sketching diagrams, navigating, or just satisfying the inner adventurer. This clever detail speaks to users who appreciate when functional objects contain small surprises that enhance their usefulness without adding bulk or complexity.

The card holder doubles as a straightedge, with ruler markings along one edge for quick measurements or drawing straight lines on the fly. The brown leather or vegan leather pocket holds several cards securely, while a pull-tab makes access effortless even when your hands are full or you’re juggling multiple items.

The compact form slips easily into any pocket, bag, or jacket without creating annoying bulk. A keychain loop allows you to attach Gifted to your backpack, purse, or keys, making it part of your everyday carry without requiring a dedicated storage spot or constantly hunting through bags.

Material choices balance durability with tactile appeal. The case is crafted from lightweight metal or high-quality plastic, with the tactile brown pocket providing visual and physical contrast. The orange accent adds personality without overwhelming the minimalist aesthetic, making the design feel considered and refined.

Available in both black and white finishes, Gifted adapts to different personal styles and environments. The understated design means it blends into professional settings, creative studios, or outdoor adventures without looking out of place. Whether you’re sketching in a notebook, leaving a note, or measuring a quick dimension, everything you need is right there.

The concept targets creatives, professionals, and adventurers who value being prepared without carrying excessive gear. The clean presentation and thoughtful details make it an ideal gift for writers, designers, or anyone who appreciates clever everyday carry solutions that combine multiple functions without feeling overwrought or complicated.

Gifted turns writing essentials into a pocket-sized, modular accessory that encourages spontaneous creativity and organization. For anyone who loves to write, sketch, or stay prepared on the go, this concept offers a clever take on what everyday carry can be when design and functionality receive equal attention.

Most air purifiers are designed to be hidden away in corners or behind furniture. Their boxy shapes, blinking lights, and utilitarian looks clash with carefully curated interiors, forcing you to choose between clean air and visual harmony. For anyone who cares about both wellness and aesthetics, finding a purifier that actually enhances a room feels nearly impossible.

Airthings Renew approaches air purification from a design-first perspective, combining advanced cleaning technology with a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired form that looks natural in any space. Instead of hiding the device, you can place it where it works best without worrying about disrupting your interior design or creating visual clutter.

Designer: Airthings

Inspired by Nordic landscapes and interiors, Renew’s muted charcoal tones, soft rounded corners, and matte finish blend effortlessly into bedrooms, living rooms, or home studios. The compact, rectangular form is intentionally understated, designed to disappear among your furniture rather than demand attention. The single-button side interface keeps controls minimal and approachable.

The versatile footprint offers genuine placement flexibility. Set it on the floor beside your bed for overnight purification. Place it on a low shelf near your desk for cleaner work air. Position it in a corner of the living room where it quietly handles the entire space. The form factor adapts to different rooms and layouts without requiring specific furniture or dedicated placement zones.

The design works equally well standing vertically or positioned horizontally in tight spaces. The fabric exterior with its subtle texture feels more like furniture upholstery than typical plastic housings. This material choice helps Renew blend into Scandinavian, minimalist, or contemporary interiors without looking out of place or overly technical.

Behind the calm exterior sits a four-stage filtration system. The washable audio-grade textile outer pre-filter catches pet hair and dust. A washable inner pre-filter traps pollen and finer particles. The HEPA-13 filter removes 99.97 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns, while activated charcoal captures odors and volatile organic compounds.

A high-precision laser sensor monitors particulate matter in real time, automatically adjusting filtration intensity in Auto mode. The Airthings app lets you check air quality levels, switch between Boost mode for rapid cleaning, Silent mode for undisturbed sleep, or Auto mode for intelligent, hands-off operation throughout the day.

Smart home integration through the Airthings ecosystem means the purifier works alongside other Airthings sensors, providing a complete picture of your home’s air quality. Maintenance stays simple with washable pre-filters and straightforward replacement for HEPA and charcoal filters. Airthings Renew brings thoughtful design and smart technology together in an air purifier that enhances spaces rather than detracting from them, proving clean air and beautiful interiors can coexist effortlessly.

Peut-être que vous le connaissez déjà, mais si ce n’est pas le cas, sachez qu’il existe un site qui tracke méticuleusement toutes les apocalypses ratées ! Et actuellement et le compteur affiche fièrement 201 échecs et 0 succès. Ouf, tant mieux ! Ce site c’est le Doomsday Scoreboard de March1 Studios, et c’est un peu le panneau “X jours sans accident” des usines, mais inversé puisqu’ici on célèbre le fait que les prophètes se plantent avec la régularité d’un métronome cassé.

La dernière en date c’est l’apocalypse du 23 septembre 2025. Joshua Mhlakela, un pasteur sud-africain, avait posté des vidéos expliquant que le “Rapture” (le retour de Jésus) allait se produire ce jour-là. Les vidéos sont devenues virales sur TikTok sous le hashtag #RaptureTok, parce que bien sûr, même l’apocalypse a besoin d’influenceurs maintenant et y’a même des gens qui ont quitté leur job pour se préparer ou fait des tutos à la con du genre “5 conseils pour survivre au Rapture”.

Autant vous dire que le réveil normal du 24 septembre a dû être chelou et plein de mauvaise foi.

Mais le vrai champion toutes catégories de ces apocalypses, c’est Harold Camping. Lui il a fait 12 prédictions ratées. C’est plus que le nombre de Fast and Furious ^^ et sa prédiction la plus célèbre, sortie en mai 2011, il l’a financée avec des millions de dollars en publicité : 5000 panneaux d’affichage, 20 camping-cars sillonnant les États-Unis. Il avait calculé que c’était exactement 7000 ans après le déluge biblique, donc forcément, ça devait matcher.

Puis le 22 mai, après sa prédiction ratée, il s’est déclaré complètement débousolé ! Imaginez, vous claquez des millions pour annoncer la fin du monde, et le lendemain vous devez sortir les poubelles. Du coup pour sauver la face, il a dit “Ah non en fait c’était spirituel, la vraie c’est en octobre”. Je vous rassure, ça a foiré aussi en octobre et toutes les fois d’après.

William Miller, lui aussi c’est un autre roi du pivot stratégique. En 1843, il prédit la fin du monde devant 100 000 personnes mais bien sûr, ça a foiré “Pardon les gars, j’ai refait les calculs, c’est octobre 1844”. Et le 22 octobre 1844, toujours rien. Le résultat de ce double échec s’appelle même la Grande Déception , et honnêtement, le nom est bien trouvé. Mais Miller ne s’est pas découragé : il a juste dit que ça s’était passé au paradis, donc vous n’avez rien vu. C’est d’ailleurs de là qu’est née l’Église Adventiste.

Niveau récupération de fail, chapeau ! On dirait ces gens bizarres sur les réseaux sociaux qui repoussent chaque mois depuis 2020, leur prédiction de tous ces millions de morts provoqués à cause d’un vaccin Covid qui devait normalement joncher nos rues. Ahahaha qu’est ce qu’on se marre ^^.

Les Témoins de Jéhovah ont aussi leur propre série de ratés : 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1994. La prédiction de 1925 était d’ailleurs annoncée comme plus certaine que celle de 1914 selon les Écritures. Résultat ? Entre 1925 et 1928, ils ont perdu 80% de leurs membres, déçus. La réponse officielle a été que ça avait aidé à séparer les fidèles des autres. Ça c’est du marketing de crise de champions !

En 2012 (vous vous souvenez de cette apocalypse là ?), un sondage dans 20 pays montrait que 14% des gens pensaient que le monde finirait de leur vivant. Aux États-Unis, c’était même plus de 20%. Et en 2022, 39% des Américains croyaient vivre la fin des temps. Autrement dit, 4 personnes sur 10 parient sur un cheval qui a perdu ses 201 dernières courses. Les paris sportifs sont moins risqués…

Le calendrier Maya de 2012, c’était peut-être d’ailleurs la plus grosse en termes de couverture médiatique. La fin du Grand Cycle du calendrier Maya a été interprétée comme la fin du monde avec des films catastrophe, des documentaires alarmistes, des ventes de bunkers qui explosent…etc. Puis le jour J, le 22 décembre 2012, réveil normal, café normal, métro normal. Hé oui, les Mayas n’avaient jamais dit que c’était la fin, juste que leur calendrier recommençait un nouveau cycle. Mais bon, ça fait moins de clics.

On a un peu le même truc en ce moment avec la comète 3I/ATLAS. Je vois dans Google News des tas de médias merdiques nous expliquer une fois que c’est un vaisseau alien qui ralenti pour venir nous achever, et une autre fois que le machin nous arrive droit dessus pour nous atomiser…

Et dire qu’il suffit d’aller lire 2/3 articles sérieux sur le sujet pour capter qu’on ne risque rien. Le machin va juste passer, on va lui faire coucou et on ne le reverra jamais… Breeeef, la connerie et la peur n’a pas de limites malheureusement.

Et le site Doomsday Scoreboard ne se contente pas uniquement d’archiver les échecs. Il liste aussi les apocalypses en attente. En ce moment y’a 8 prédictions pour 2025-2026. Donc 8 nouvelles chances de voir le compteur passer à 209 apocalypses ratées. Ce que j’aime bien avec ce site en tout cas, c’est qu’il transforme des annonces plutôt déprimantes en performance artistique.

Le compteur qui tourne, le total des échecs qui s’incrémente, les liens vers les sources Wikipedia pour chaque prédiction…etc. C’est à la fois un joli devoir de mémoire et une bonne blague ! En tout cas, pour le moment, c’est le seul domaine où l’humanité affiche un taux de fiabilité de 100% !

Voilà… Maintenant, rendez-vous dans 249 jours pour savoir si l’apocalypse aura lieue ou si vous devrez quand même aller bosser le lendemain.

Merci à Lilian pour le lien !

The puffer jacket is a winter staple for a lot of places that experiences really cold weather. But most of the ones in the market aren’t the most eco-friendly. Everlane has just launched what might be the fashion industry’s most sustainable puffer jacket yet. The EverPuff represents a groundbreaking approach to circular fashion design, proving that warmth, style, and environmental responsibility can coexist beautifully.

What makes the EverPuff revolutionary is its commitment to true circularity. Nearly every component of this sleek puffer jacket is crafted from certified recycled materials, from the insulating fill to the outer shell. The only exceptions are three small metal trims, making this jacket 97% recycled content. This isn’t just about using eco-friendly materials; it’s about creating a product designed for multiple lifetimes.

Designer Name: Everlane

The jacket’s exterior features 100% recycled polyester that’s both water-repellent and water-resistant, ensuring you stay dry while maintaining a lighter environmental footprint . The recycled down filling provides exceptional warmth without compromising on sustainability principles. All materials are bluesign certified and PFAS-free, guaranteeing safer chemistry for both workers and consumers while reducing harmful emissions.

But Everlane’s innovation extends far beyond materials. The EverPuff comes with an unprecedented lifetime warranty and comprehensive repair program through their partnership with Tersus Solutions . If your jacket needs fixing, Everlane will repair it for free. If it’s beyond repair, they’ll replace it entirely. This commitment to longevity challenges the fast fashion model by encouraging consumers to invest in pieces that last. The design process itself was revolutionary. Everlane’s team worked closely with Debrand, a specialized recycling company, to ensure the jacket could be easily disassembled at the end of its life . By using mono-materials and avoiding complex stitching, they created a garment that can be completely broken down, with each component recycled into new products.

When your EverPuff finally reaches the end of its usable life, Everlane will take it back and transform it into a new garment. The polyester shell, down filling, and hardware are all separated and sent to specialized facilities for recycling into fresh materials. This closed-loop system represents the future of fashion manufacturing. The EverPuff also integrates with Everlane’s broader sustainability ecosystem. Through their partnership with Poshmark on the Re:Everlane program, customers can easily resell their jackets, extending the product’s life even further. The system automatically populates style details and original pricing, making resale effortless.

Available in five sophisticated colors including navy, black, dark green, peyote, and merlot, the EverPuff retails for $298 for the standard length and $348 for the long version . While the price point reflects the quality materials and comprehensive warranty, it represents a shift toward valuing durability over disposability. The EverPuff isn’t just a jacket; it’s a statement about the future of fashion. By proving that luxury outerwear can be both stylish and completely sustainable, Everlane is setting a new standard for the industry. This innovative approach to circular design shows that consumers no longer need to choose between looking good and doing good for the planet.

Smartwatches aren’t just wrist accessories anymore; they’re powerful, purpose-driven extensions of your lifestyle. Whether you’re an athlete, a gamer, a style enthusiast, or simply someone who wants to stay connected, the right wearable can elevate your daily routines. As October 2025 brings fresh innovation and daring new designs, the world of smartwatches is more diverse and exciting than ever.

From minimalist e-paper displays to rugged adventure companions and even a gaming PC for your wrist, this year’s lineup is packed with options that speak to every need and personality. Our list explores the best smartwatches available now, highlighting their unique strengths, standout features, and potential drawbacks. Dive in to find the perfect wearable for your wrist and your world.

1. MSI Gaming PC Watch: A Gaming Rig For Your Wrist

The MSI Gaming PC Watch is a spectacle for anyone who lives and breathes gaming. With its MSI dragon-red theme, transparent façade, and visible hardware, it’s an unmistakable tribute to high-performance rigs. This wearable doesn’t just tell time—it showcases your passion, sparking conversations and envy alike. While it might look like a traditional watch at first glance, its true identity is a full-fledged mini PC strapped to your wrist.

Analog watch hands are visible but understated, hinting at its timekeeping function. Four side pushers let you toggle features, and the construction feels robust with a metal alloy case. Not everyone will need or want a wearable computer on their wrist, but for those who do, nothing else comes close to this level of commitment and flair.

What we like

• Visually striking design that turns your wrist into a gaming showcase.
• Unique concept that marries PC hardware and wearable tech in an unprecedented way.

What we dislike

• Timekeeping is a secondary feature, not the main focus.
• Likely to be bulkier and less comfortable for daily wear.

2. Apple Watch Ultra 3: The Pinnacle Of Display Technology

Apple’s Ultra 3 brings a new dimension to smartwatch displays, boasting the largest and most advanced screen ever fitted to an Apple Watch. With wide-angle OLEDs and LTPO3 technology, it’s readable at any angle—even in direct sunlight or underwater. Apple’s design team has maximized the display space by shrinking the borders, so you get a bigger, better canvas without a larger watch.

Always-on features are smarter and more efficient, staying visible without draining the battery. Real-time seconds and instant stats make it a must for athletes and adventure seekers. If clarity, screen quality, and high-tech durability are priorities, the Ultra 3 is at the head of the pack.

What we like

• Expansive display with best-in-class readability in all conditions.
• Always-on screen with high refresh and low power use.

What we dislike

• Premium price puts it out of reach for some buyers.
• Large size may not suit those with slimmer wrists.

3. Pebble Time 2: E-Paper Simplicity, Modern Craft

Pebble’s comeback is all about maturity and minimalism. The Time 2 features a stainless steel case and integrated lugs that create a seamless, intentional flow from the case to the strap. The nearly edge-to-edge 1.7-inch color e-paper display sits flush with the glass, inviting you to run your finger along its perfectly smooth edges. This is a smartwatch for those who crave simplicity and customization without sacrificing style.

Available in Silver, Black, and Champagne Gold, the Time 2 lets you swap out standard 22mm bands, making it adaptable for any look. It’s a refined, user-first foundation that feels both nostalgic and modern. The e-paper display also means longer battery life and easy outdoor readability.

What we like

• Minimalist, sophisticated design with customizable bands.
• E-paper display is gentle on the eyes and extends battery life.

What we dislike

• Lacks the premium sensors and apps found on flagship smartwatches.
• Refresh rate is slower than traditional OLED or LCD screens.

4. WearPods Hybrid Smartwatch: Earbuds On Your Wrist

WearPods is a clever hybrid, hiding a pair of true-wireless earbuds within the body of a smartwatch. It’s designed for the forgetful and the futuristic, merging two essential devices into one. The 1.93-inch display and smart features are impressive, but the real magic happens when you pop out the earbuds with a satisfying click, ready for calls or your favorite playlist.

This all-in-one approach does come with some trade-offs. Packing both a smartwatch and earbuds into such a compact form means battery life isn’t stellar, and the ergonomics for both components might not suit everyone. Still, for tech lovers who want to reduce pocket clutter, it’s a novel solution.

What we like

• Ingenious all-in-one design keeps your earbuds always accessible.
• Appeals to gadget lovers and those prone to losing accessories.

What we dislike

• Reduced battery life compared to single-function wearables.
• Fit and comfort may not match dedicated smartwatches or earbuds.

5. Ollee Watch: A Classic Casio, Supercharged

The Ollee Watch turns the classic Casio F-91W into a customizable smartwatch through a mainboard swap. You keep the retro resin case, LCD, and water resistance, while gaining step tracking, notifications, and Bluetooth. It’s a clever, open-source upgrade that bridges nostalgia and modern convenience.

DIY fans will appreciate the upgrade process, which doesn’t require advanced skills. The result is a connected, functional timepiece that feels both familiar and fresh—ideal for those who want to retain the original’s charm while adding new tech.

What we like

• Maintains the beloved Casio design with modern smart features.
• Open-source and DIY-friendly for personal customization.

What we dislike

• Installation requires some technical ability and patience.
• Not as feature-rich as premium smartwatches.

6. Garmin Instinct 3: AMOLED Or Solar For Every Adventure

Garmin’s Instinct 3 offers versatility with AMOLED and solar-powered variants, each available in two sizes. The AMOLED model delivers vivid visuals for gym goers, while the solar model boasts unlimited battery life in sunlight—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Up to 24 days on a single charge sets a new standard for smartwatch endurance.

The Instinct 3 is built tough, with extensive fitness tracking and navigation features. While its rugged look won’t win fashion awards, its performance and battery options make it a reliable companion for any adventure.

What we like

• Choice between super-bright AMOLED and solar-powered battery.
• Outstanding battery life and rugged durability.

What we dislike

• Solar models require regular sunlight for the best results.
• Functional, utilitarian design isn’t for style seekers.

7. TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45MM x Oracle Red Bull Racing

TAG Heuer’s collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing produces a standout luxury smartwatch. The 45mm DLC titanium case, bold racing-themed strap, and dial make it a collector’s item. It’s packed with features for health, fitness, and lifestyle, all wrapped in the prestige of Swiss watchmaking.

This is a watch for motorsport fans and those who appreciate both tradition and cutting-edge tech. While its price and look may not be for everyone, it’s a striking fusion of speed and sophistication.

What we like

• Luxurious materials and exclusive Red Bull Racing design.
• Offers comprehensive smart features with top-tier build quality.

What we dislike

• High price limits its accessibility.
• Bold styling may not suit everyday wear or all tastes.

8. Apple Watch Series 11: The Ultimate Health Monitoring Device

Apple’s Series 11 sets a new bar for health-focused smartwatches. With advanced sensors, silent killer detection, and always-on ECG, it’s the most feature-packed Apple Watch yet. Hardware upgrades ensure it’s more durable and connected than ever, while seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem makes it a natural choice for iPhone users.

It’s designed for those who want a blend of style, utility, and medical-grade monitoring on their wrist. The only major downside is its battery life, which still requires daily charging.

What we like

• State-of-the-art health monitoring and medical features.
• Refined design and perfect compatibility with iPhone.

What we dislike

• Battery life is only average, requiring daily top-ups.
• Works best only within the Apple ecosystem.

9. Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro: Built For Endurance

The Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro is built for athletes who need their gear to last. Its sapphire crystal display and titanium case shrug off scratches and impacts, while the 21-day battery life is a game-changer for training camps and expeditions. Peak brightness makes it easy to read outdoors, and pro-grade GPS and tracking features cater to serious runners and cyclists.

While its focus is on endurance and performance, it may not have the app ecosystem or lifestyle features of more mainstream smartwatches.

What we like

• Ultra-durable with sapphire crystal and titanium construction.
• Long-lasting battery ideal for extended use and adventures.

What we dislike

• Limited app selection compared to Apple and Wear OS.
• More fitness-focused, less suited for general lifestyle use.

10. Ksana Hybrid E-Ink Smartwatch: Essential Information, Always

Ksana’s hybrid smartwatch puts a small E Ink display at the center, overlaying an analog dial with glowing hands. This battery-saving approach means you get only the essential info, without distractions or frequent charging. The analog movement adds classic charm, while the display excels in any lighting.

It’s ideal for anyone who values simplicity and mindfulness over a barrage of notifications. The pared-back approach means you’ll miss out on richer app experiences, but for many, that’s a feature, not a bug.

What we like

• E Ink display provides superb battery life and readability.
• Analog-mechanical movement adds timeless appeal and night usability.

What we dislike

• Limited information display and few smart features.
• Not for those who want colorful screens or app-rich experiences.

Final Thoughts: Which Smartwatch Fits Your Life?

Choosing the right smartwatch in October 2025 is all about matching your personal style, needs, and habits. This year’s lineup is more diverse than ever, from the boldest gaming wrist rigs to the most subtle hybrid analogs. Whether you crave battery life, health tracking, luxury, or sheer uniqueness, there’s a wearable that aligns with your priorities.

The best smartwatch is the one that disappears into your day and amplifies what you value most, whether that’s adventure, connectivity, or simplicity. As innovation continues to redefine what’s possible on your wrist, you have more freedom than ever to choose a device that feels tailored just for you.

The problem with most EDC knives is that they’re either pretty to look at or actually useful, rarely both. Cheap materials make them look tacky, stiff mechanisms make them frustrating to use, and don’t even get started on how quickly they lose their edge. That hasn’t stopped manufacturers from churning out countless variations of the same disappointing formula, leaving users to choose between form and function.

The Scarab 2.0 takes a completely different approach to solving these everyday annoyances. Instead of cutting corners, it brings together aerospace-grade titanium and carbon fiber, paired with an M390 steel blade that knife enthusiasts swear by. The result looks almost too good to use, though that would be missing the point entirely. This is a tool made for daily challenges, not display cases.

The visual appeal hits you immediately, thanks to its striking combination of materials and thoughtful design. Red or black carbon fiber inlays catch light in fascinating ways, while the machined titanium frame adds an industrial sophistication that many premium knives try to achieve but few manage to pull off. It’s definitely quite a sight, though the real magic happens when you actually pick it up.

Anyone who has tried to open a knife with cold, wet, or tired hands knows how frustrating it can be. The Scarab 2.0 solves this with not one but three different opening methods. A thumb stud, button lock, and flipper opening mean you’ll never struggle to deploy the blade. The smooth roller bearing system makes each method feel natural and reliable, without the gritty, stiff action common in other knives.

The M390 steel blade is what really sets this knife apart from the crowd. While other knives might stay sharp for a few weeks of regular use, this steel keeps its edge through months of daily tasks. No more torn packages or awkward cuts. The 15-degree edge angle makes every slice clean and precise, whether you’re breaking down boxes or preparing food outdoors.

The handle isn’t just about looks. The GR5 titanium frame, the same material used in aircraft components, provides incredible strength without unnecessary weight. The textured carbon fiber offers a secure grip even with wet hands or gloves. Together, they create a knife that feels as premium as it looks, with every surface engineered for comfort and control.

Practical features make the Scarab 2.0 genuinely useful for everyday carry. A deep carry clip keeps the knife secure and discreet in any pocket, while the lanyard hole offers alternative attachment options. Four tritium slots compatible with glow tubes ensure you can find your knife quickly in low light. At just 4.59 inches when folded, it maintains a compact profile despite its capabilities.

The knife’s durability goes beyond its premium materials. Sweat, rain, and humidity won’t affect the titanium frame or M390 blade. The carbon fiber components add rigidity while keeping the total weight at just 2.9 ounces. It’s the kind of tool that gets better with use, developing character without losing performance.

Even the manufacturing process reflects attention to sustainability. The titanium components can be recycled and reused, while the precision CNC machining minimizes material waste. Every aspect of the Scarab 2.0 is engineered for longevity, reducing its environmental impact through years of reliable service.

The Scarab 2.0 shows what happens when designers prioritize both aesthetics and functionality. It’s a knife that works as well in the office as it does on outdoor adventures, ready for whatever task comes its way. For those tired of compromising between good looks and actual performance, this knife offers something genuinely different.
