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. 🔧

Why Pay $300? This $99 Wearable Nails Sleep Tracking Like the Big Names

Sleep is still the best reset your body gets each night. Your brain clears out waste, your muscles recover, and your energy levels get ready for the next day. Miss out and you will notice it quickly in your focus, mood, and performance. The difference today is that you no longer have to guess how well you slept. With smartwatches, fitness trackers, and even smartphone apps, you can get a pretty close picture of your sleep and use that data to improve it.

The One Upgrade You Shouldn’t Expect on the Apple Watch Ultra 3

Since its debut, the Apple Watch Ultra has stood out for its appeal to outdoor adventurers, with a bright, oversized display, rugged titanium case, physical buttons, and unique watch faces. The upcoming Ultra 3, expected in September, appears to follow that formula, with credible reports indicating major upgrades. But one thing the leaks have not mentioned, and history suggests we will not see, is longer battery life. Apple has kept endurance consistent across the Ultra line, and with no sign of change in the rumors, this could remain its most persistent limitation.

Your Smartwatch Doesn’t Know Much About Your Mental State and Here’s Why

I review smartwatches and fitness trackers for a living because I believe they can offer an excellent overview of our physical health. I even believe they can help us change our habits. But one thing you will not see me recommend in a review is using them to measure stress. At least, not yet. The reason is simple: wearables are limited in their ability to measure stress levels. And a recent study just proved it.
