The dual-screen TicWatch Pro goes on sale for $250

Mobvoi's TicWatch Pro is going on sale today for $250, after being announced back in May. The TicWatch Pro puts a new twist on Wear OS smartwatches by adding in a second, low-power screen that's meant to keep the watch running longer.

To make this trick work, Mobvoi placed a transparent FSTN LCD display (picture a traditional digital watch) on top of the watch's primary OLED screen. The OLED screen is used to show the standard Wear OS interface. But when you aren't using the watch, the OLED screen turns off and you're then able to see the LCD above it, which displays the time and other information you might want at a glance, like fitness data.

Mobvoi estimates that you'll get two days of battery life using the watch this way. When...

Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
