The Misfit Path smartwatch will make you feel pretty

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of smartwatches are designed by and for men. I’m not saying all smartwatches have a bulky masculine style, but most do and it’s time to find a smartwatch that is smaller and more feminine. The Path Hybrid Smartwatch from Misfit looks like it fits that criteria.

Misfit is well known for their fitness and activity tracking wearables, and the Path Hybrid smartwatch won’t disappoint with its feature set. The watch includes fitness tracking features like steps walked, calories burned. sleep tracking, and movement alerts that will keep you from sitting too long.

The Path Hybrid is swim-proof and water resistant to 50 meters and is available in four color combinations including the rose gold and black stainless steel shown here. In addition to the fitness features, the watch also alerts you when you have an incoming call, text message, and app alerts. There’s even a button that you can program to play music, take a picture, and find your phone.

The Misfit Path watch will run for up to 6 months on a replaceable CR2025 battery, so you don’t have to worry about charging it each night like you have to do with other watches.

The watch is available now and is priced at $149.99. You can save an additional 25% off if you use the code PATH25 when you buy it from Misfit’s site. The discount code expires on 5/13/18.

This Apple Watch charger serves as a charging station for your nightstand

Many Apple Watch charging stands I’ve seen are about this size, and they only charge the Watch itself.  This Simpeak 4-Port USB Charger Station not only charges the Watch in Nightstand mode, but the base has three extra USB ports for charging phones and tablets.  You’ll need only the included power supply to charge up to four devices simultaneously from a single wall outlet.

Specifications

  • Input: 100V-240V 50/60Hz
  • Output: 5V 6A (Max).  With built-in smart chips, each port can automatically detect your device and delivers the fastest charge required (up to 2.4 amps).
  • Material: ABS Plastic
  • Dimension: 3.54 x 3.54 x 2.75 inches

The hollow base can store the excess cable for the Watch charger, plus it has room for other small items.  You’ll need to supply your own charging cables.

The Simpeak 4-Port USB Charger Station is $19.98 in white or black from Amazon.

The Edelkrone Wing is the rail-less slider that gives you the movement that you need


Continuing the focus on camera sliders, the Edelkrone Wing Slider is a portable and compact slider that is designed for use with DSLR, mirrorless and Cine cameras. The two newest versions are the Wing that has a load capacity of 16 pounds, and the Heavy-Duty Wing Pro that has a load capacity of 48 pounds. It is a very simple manual slider that attaches to your tripod or support, and then can be manipulated back and forth by moving the camera or the slider itself. Its movement is linear, and it has a total range of 15.6 inches. This slider seems to be designed for the quick setup and shoot gig, where manual control will do the trick.

It is constructed of aluminum and stainless steel components, and has a ¼”-20 screw on one end and a 3/8”-16 threaded mount on the other. When transporting, the slider has a built-in locking mechanism to ensure that it can be packed safely.

If you would like to take a closer look at Edelkrone Wing or the Heavy-Duty Wing Pro, or if you would like to purchase one, you head over to the Edelkrone website. The Edelkrone Wing sells for $399 and the Heavy-Duty Wing Pro for $699.

Finally, an RFID-blocking wallet that’s big enough to hold all your wallet’s contents

Since not all your wallet cards are RFID-sensitive, it seems that most RFID-blocking wallets are small – just big enough to accommodate the sensitive cards.  That’s great for protection, but what do you do with the rest of the things that you normally carry in a wallet?  The Thinnest RFID Checkbook Wallet from the Sharper Image will protect what needs protecting, but still has room for everything, even a checkbook.

The soft leather exterior has the same RFID-blocking technology used by the US Military hidden inside to defend against 3,000 MHz at 80 db (most credit card transactions which utilize RFID take place at 13.56 MHz).  There’s room for up to 16 cards, plus sections for cash, receipts, a clear ID pocket, plus a coin pocket.  It can be used as a checkbook holder, too.

The wallet is available in black with a red interior or brown with a turquoise interior for $129.99; your personalized monogram is another $6.95.  The Thinnest RFID Checkbook Wallet is available at The Sharper Image.
