Casio’s Ring Watch is available online after being sold out for months

Casio’s $120 CRW001-1 (AKA the Ring Watch) is back in stock on Casio’s website for the first time since it launched — then swiftly sold out — in December. The Ring Watch was released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its original digital watch. While it may look like a novelty, the fully-functional watch impressed The Verge’s Victoria Song as both a fashion statement and a practical gadget. The silver ring has a sub-inch screen and comes in one ring size: 10.5. However, Casio includes 16 an

I Played Donkey Kong Bananza. It's the Switch 2's Killer Ape

You fall out of the sky and find yourself on a day-glo series of underground islands. You have to smash your way through them with your gorilla fists to find secret objects and fossils. Occasionally, you can turn into a magic ostrich. Also, a woman named Pauline rides your back and throws words at things. Donkey Kong Bananza, a game that's only available on the Nintendo Switch 2, is the best handheld gaming console's new must-get game. After a few hours of playing it at a Nintendo preview in Ne

I Found the Best Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Rumors for the Fold 7, Flip 7 and Watch 8

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is a week away and I expect to see new foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 as well as new Galaxy Watches.

‘Donkey Kong Bananza’ Could be the Next Killer Game the Switch 2 Needs

More than a decade after the acclaimed Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, DK is returning with Donkey Kong Bananza to add some much-needed variety to the Switch 2 lineup. The Switch 2 is the fastest-selling console in Nintendo’s history; days after release, it had already sold more than 3.5 million units across the world. Its initial launch lineup—though filled out with third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut—has been light on Nintendo first-party games, relying hea

Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch update is so good, I might give up on the Pixel Watch

Ryan Haines / Android Authority One UI 8 beta is already rolling out to Galaxy Watches, and I’m equally annoyed by and in awe of it. The reason is that I was a Galaxy Watch 4 user back in 2021, but I migrated to Google’s wearable when the first Pixel Watch launched. My decision was mostly guided by my desire to stay within Fitbit’s ecosystem, which had many years of my personal activity and health data. Since then, I’ve had the first, second, and third Pixel Watch, and I thought that this year,

Google kills its Keep app on Apple Watch

The Google graveyard has claimed another victim: the company has killed the Apple Watch version of its Keep app. While the note-taking app is still available for iPhone and iPad, the 2.2025.26200 Google Keep App Store update released on Monday has removed watchOS support, bringing the total number of Google apps for Apple Watch back down to three. This sours some hope that Google would expand its watchOS app offerings after quietly rolling out a new native Google Calendar app for Apple Watch ye

A glass screen protector is one of a few “set it and forget it” purchases that every Switch 2 owner should make, along with buying a microSD Express card and a protective case for the console. In fact, it should be a priority to stick one onto the console’s screen as soon as possible to avoid accidental scratches. I’ve been installing and removing Switch 2 screen protectors to

How Do Pimple Patches Work? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

How do pimple patches work? Back in the day, getting a zit meant caking on disguising layers of foundation, concealer, powder …or maybe just a strategically angled hairstyle. But now, the game has changed: Why hide a pimple when you can dress it up? No frantic blending or pore-clogging products are required. Today, we’re embracing a radically different (and refreshingly low-key) approach to clogged pores: slapping a bright yellow star-shaped sticker on it and calling it a day. Welcome to the er

Updating my Pixel Watch was a nightmare until I did these tricks

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Most people reading this know that Google Pixel phones are some of the best you can get if you prioritize fast, reliable software updates.
