Motorola PIP1510 Connect: A robot-inspired baby monitor that gets the job done
It's a mid-range video baby monitor that comes with a parent unit.
Nanit Pro is a high-end baby monitor with breathing tracking and sleep analysis
But the lack of a parent monitor holds it back.
Owlet Dream Duo Cam 2 should be used with caution
The wearable-camera baby monitor combo needs more transparency.
Smart scale comparison: Fitbit vs. Withings vs. Garmin
See how these scales stack up, and which one’s worth buying.
Garmin's Index S2 smart scale is nice, but under-delivers for the price
We love that it connects to WiFi.
We tried InsideTracker: The 'ultra-personalized nutrition system'
It uses data from DNA tests, blood samples, and reported habits to create custom plans.
Garmin vívosmart 5 review: A good, not great gateway to fitness tracking
It's not as "simple" as advertised.
The Polar Pacer Pro is the best new smartwatch for performance-driven runners
It's everything I want in a running watch.
The Fitbit Aria Air is a sleek smart scale for those already in the Fitbit ecosystem
Monitor workouts, fitness goals, and weight in the same app.
Withings Body+ review: A top-of-the-line smart scale
It delivers far more than body weight.
Do ankle weights really need to be smart? We tested some to find out.
Sportneer TrainNTrack ankle weights monitor heart rate, workout intensity, and more. But that might be overkill.
Hyperice Vyper 2.0 review: Next-level foam roller with powerful vibration
Tools for rehab, prehab, and recovery are worth a splurge if you'll actually use them.
Venom Back by Hyperice review: Custom and convenient back relief
Not cheap, but less expensive than regular sessions with a masseuse or chiropractor.
Hypervolt by Hyperice review: Powerful (but heavy) tool for active people
It's not exactly cheap. But it is effective.

Hypersphere Mini review: Powerful and portable relief
A small but effective self-massage orb for treatment at home and on the go.

How to pick the right wearable for running
A good choice for one athlete may not work well for another.
Garmin Vivoactive 4 review: A sleek smartwatch that inspires goal-setting
It's one of Garmin's more affordable watches.
Garmin Instinct: A hefty smartwatch that can handle any adventure
The Instinct is ideal for serious navigators, ultra-athletes, and solo trekkers who spend a lot of time outside and in rugged conditions.
The Garmin Forerunner 35 is a basic GPS watch for the running purist
It fits like a glove, it does everything I want it to, and it doubles as an all-day wear (unlike clunkier models)
Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar: A maximalist watch for hardcore, data-loving athletes and explorers
Solar battery, ski resort maps, and expedition mode are just a few of its insane features.
Obsessed with tracking metrics? The Garmin Forerunner 945 is worth the price tag
The battery life is great, the activity tracking is as smooth and accurate as I’ve encountered, and—after the initial setup and customization—the whole experience is smooth and pleasant.
