URWERK UR-102 RELOADED The only thing T3 is more partial to than a minimal watch face is a blast from the horological past, which is why we love the Urwerk UR-102 Reloaded. Originally launched at Baselworld 1997, the UR-102 featured a smooth round body and an iconic handless design, displaying the time with a wandering hour unit that glided round a semi-circular track. Updated for the 21st century, the UR-102 Reloaded’s case has been scaled up to 41mm from 38mm, while its lugs are larger, taking their design cue from the Sputnik satellite. And it has a sleeker silhouette, thanks to its relocated crown, which blends into the case at 4 o’clock. Can’t decide whether the titanium or the black finish suits your style best? No problem. When you pick…

Let’s not get too complicated this issue. GaGu is tired and quite frankly he has had enough. Allow Uncle Grumbly to simply list some of the things which keep him sane, as much as a reminder to himself of the joy of life as it is a recommendation of good things to you. Guru loves caffeine but (shh) doesn’t really like coffee. Thus he consumes huge amounts of G-Fuel (about ₹3,500 per tub), the powder mixed with water filtered through a Brita Marella filter (about ₹2,500) and shaken up in a HidrateSpark Steel (a too-expensive ₹7,500) smart water bottle. Gaming is essential to Guru. Sadly he is the household’s primary caregiver – at least, he is when his litany of nannies, chefs and sundry staff once again decide to march…

₹9,990, sony.co.in Sony’s latest generation of headphones offer a well-rounded experience with powerful audio, comfortable fit and a feature-rich app for support. The brand has unveiled the latest noise cancelling headband in their affordable line-up. The WH-CH720N is Sony’s lightest wireless noise-cancelling headband ever. Being a lower priced version than Sony’s premium line-up, the obvious compromises from the top-of-the-line devices are in the materials, and not necessarily in the audio quality. And we feel that is how it should be done, rather than compromise on everything inside out. Please don’t get us wrong, the build is still sturdy. The headband is wrapped in faux leather and provides a thick-enough padding to keep shiny bald heads comfy and scratch-free. The telescopic band adjustment segments are thinner but have been reinforced with…

It is interesting how words evolve over a period of time. Two decades ago, many wouldn’t have imagined ‘smartness’ to be associated with tech and gadgets. Now smartness is certainly something that has to do with a connected and responsive device or ecosystem that learns and evolves itself. These days, the smartest places in personal space could be automobile cabins. With advanced tech like ADAS making fast progress in the Indian auto industry, and AI traffic monitoring cameras causing a furore in one of the southern states, we believe it is time for us to train our eyes and ears more on this segment. Inside, you will find more such content from the industry, including our experience with the Hyundai Tucson and the new Maruti Suzuki Fronx. And while you…

From ₹1,12,900, apple.com SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S8 ULTRA There are many reasons why you might want to go for an Android tablet rather than an iPad, not least because you want to use it with non-Apple apps.

Talk of virtual reality headsets remains a hot topic in tech. Already this year we’ve seen the launch of Sony’s PSVR2 headset, Meta’s Quest Pro, HTC’s Vive XR Elite and Xiaomi’s AR prototypes. And there’s still a rumour that we may see Apple’s AR/VR offering, the Reality Pro before 2023 is over. Despite this huge push for headsets, the virtual experience hasn’t taken over in the way some would have hoped yet. We’re even seeing some signs of VR fatigue – what’s wrong with using a physical screen anyway? So are we still teetering on the edge of an augmented or virtual reality revolution or is it just another passing fad that companies continue to push? As well as being a big push for gaming, Meta is banking on VR…

₹3,299, oneplus.in We reviewed the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 series in the Thunder Gray unit. It is a good value-for-money package that delivers consistent audio quality for both music and calls. We really liked the in-ear placement and comfort for all-day use. The battery life without ANC is 8 hours plus, which is good for full-day use, but with ANC, the battery life drops by at least 25%. OnePlus has made some noticeable improvements in the second version of Nord Buds 2, especially on the ANC front. It would be unfair to expect high-quality sound for music or spatial audio levels from an entry-level pair of headphones. We also enjoyed the customizable touch gestures on the latest version, which are especially useful when one is out and about. VERDICT WE’RE…
