As mentioned in the previous Phosphor review, we also received two of their newest curved e-ink models: the P-0302 and P-0201. (The picture to the right is the 0201.)

While they differ slightly in function and even more in style, the two are quite similar in many ways, and the choice between them is mostly one of size and style. Specs i..

This supports other devices at the same time, so the 405 can also work with a paired heart rate sensor and display its data. Data transfer to your ..

The Tissot T-Touch is a well known and respected line of tech watches from one of Switzerland's best known watch manufacturers. Tissot has built its name on crafting well built and affordable time pieces — something of a rarity from everyone's favorite neutral federal republic. It has been nearly a year since I reviewed the Seastar 1000 and walked away impressed. The T-Touch Expert is the most feature packed model in the brands history and it offers a comprehensive mix of sport styling and e..
