Wearables

Feels solid for $90 and handled boiling water, but scratches easily and its software is not nice.

Barely scratched and survived a 13.5 kg iron ball, showing real durability that justifies Apple's premium.

A shockingly realistic Apple Watch lookalike for $15 with great straps and screen but poor step tracking, rated 9.

A very good value lookalike with seven bands, though its blood oxygen app is clearly fake.

A toy-like kids' watch phone that's easy to use and genuinely useful with SOS and heart-rate alerts; nine out of ten.

The first product in its category that delivers on its promise, with surprisingly good photos; 9/10.

The smaller GT 4 is shown as the better fit for him in looks than the 46mm, but he wore the 46mm for testing.

A round, good-looking smartwatch with excellent week-long battery life, held back by a limited app store and inconsistent apps.

Cool electrochromic tinting, but the audio is tiny and leaky and the concept is a bit strange.

Singled out as the awesome one of the lot because it has working wireless earphones built into the watch.

A handcuff-like watch with a 1.7 inch screen that couldn't do real smartphone tasks, a good meme but a poor product.

Adds crash detection and a temperature sensor for ovulation tracking, but he notes it is a small update.

Described as the budget version of the Series 8.

A fitness tracker that electrocutes you over bad habits, and the shock was a really hard pinch.

Neck-worn click emitter that gives humans echolocation, shown without a score.

Rated 9 out of 10; a headband that reads your visual cortex to steer a drone.

Rated 3 out of 10 as a superpower, though the idea of a display on the eye is impressive.

A wearable claiming to boost working memory in minutes; he treats it as a sign brain augmentation is coming.

Contacts with a wink-activated magnified section would give real-life zoom.

More capable than he expected and tracks as much as a smartwatch, but the new subscription is a downside.

Looks good with the yellow accents, but the software is a genuine mess and he could not get it set up.

Clip-on device that reads text and recognises objects aloud for blind or partially sighted people.

AR glasses that project a holographic pacer to race against, rated 7 out of 10.

Clever circular video idea, but the vending-machine-only launch killed the hype, so a 3 out of 10 fail.
