500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Apple’s Entry-Level Gateway: Apple Watch SE 3 Review

Before the keynote in September, frugal Apple fans still had to make a lot of compromises! The iPhone 16 only came with a 60 Hz refresh rate while the Apple Watch SE 2 arrived on the market in 2022 sans 5G connectivity, gesture support, or an energy-saving mode. Apple is adding these and other features to the Watch SE 3 in 2025. Thus, we have finally arrived at a smartwatch that is truly suitable for everyday use. The latest Apple Watch model particularly benefited from Apple’s ecosystem!

Galaxy Watch 7 at $149 is the Best Smartwatch Deal for Prime Day

If you’re like me and prefer waiting for a new smartwatch model to drop so the previous generation gets a markdown, then Prime Day is one of the best times to make that plan pay off. Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy Watches are part of the sale, with the Galaxy Watch 7 likely stealing the spotlight. The 40mm GPS variant is down to $149, a solid drop from its regular price of $249.

Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro: A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Apple and Garmin

Rugged. Smart. Built for the outdoors. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro packs the health and fitness features of premium wearables at a fraction of the cost. Its growing ecosystem of companion devices, like a smaller strap or even a ring for sleep tracking, makes health monitoring feel natural and uninterrupted. But there are key tradeoffs, and not everyone will want to live with them. Would you take the plunge?

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Review: Brilliant, But I’m Not Switching (Yet)

“Third time’s the charm?” The Apple Watch Ultra 3 brings a slightly bigger display, longer battery life, faster connectivity with 5G, and a new satellite SOS feature. These aren’t radical changes, but together they make the Ultra 3 feel more polished and capable than its predecessors. The question is whether these upgrades are enough to make it the ultimate user-friendly adventure watch Apple promises or if it is still more of an incremental step than a must-have upgrade. Both the Ultra 3 and Ultra 2 share many similarities, from the rugged titanium design to the extensive sensor suite and watchOS experience. If you want a full recap of what made the previous generation great, read our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review. I will link it in this piece so we do not repeat ourselves and can focus on what is new and what matters most this year.

This Galaxy Feature Isn’t Out Yet—But It Could Literally Save Your Life

Samsung’s smartwatches are already a powerful range of wearables, offering far more than basic step counts and heart rate tracking. With continued development, it’s clear the company aims to equip them with even more life-saving tools. And we may already have a clue about what’s coming next, which is early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.

Garmin’s Latest Watch Adds a Killer Feature Apple Keeps Skipping

The Venu series is Garmin’s smartwatch line designed for general users. It offers fewer rugged features than the brand’s adventure-focused models but makes up for it with better aesthetics and portability. These watches have proven popular among certain demographics, and now Garmin has introduced the Venu 4. Its arrival has been highly anticipated, thanks to meaningful upgrades like a built-in flashlight and ECG.

I Tested the Apple Watch Ultra 3’s Battery and This Is How Long It Lasted

After what felt like forever, Apple finally bumped up the Apple Watch’s battery life. The new Apple Watch Ultra 3 jumps from 36 to 42 hours, promising nearly two full days of power, at least on paper. But Apple has a history of being conservative with its battery estimates, so we wanted to find out how long the Ultra 3 actually lasts. Here is our real-world battery test and whether it lives up to the hype.
