      In the early days, Garmin watches were popular primarily with runners. Today, there are dozens of Garmin watches to choose from, many priced at $400 or more. But the new Garmin Forerunner 165 gets back to the basics with an affordable, $250 watch focused on providing what most recreational runners need to track their performance.Even at this affordable price, Garmin’s Forerunner 165 includes a brilliant AMOLED touchscreen display for that elegant smartwatch visual experience found in Apple and Samsung smartwatches.

You’ll also find 25 activity profiles for activities like swimming, pickleball, yoga, and pilates.A feature I particularly enjoyed using was “Morning report,” which summarizes my previous day and evening’s tracking, along with the training plan for the day of. Sleep monitoring with sleep scores and nap detection were also welcome features. Review: Garmin Forerunner 165 MusicGarmin Forerunner 165 features: Battery life (GPS): 19 hours | Display technology: AMOLED | Unique feature: Affordable with advanced running metrics | Size: 43 mm  More

      The best lights for streaming of 2024: Expert tested

      The GE Cync is an excellent alternative to the Philips Hue strip lights, offering similar features for a lower price. It’s available in 8- and 16-foot lengths that can be connected and shaped into almost any configuration you can imagine. You can use Alexa, Hey Google, or the GE Cync app to control power, color, and lighting patterns. Review: GE CyncFZDNET expert Maria Diaz set up some GE Cync strip lights for a hands-on test of the reactive lighting feature. This feature uses a tiny, in-line microphone to listen for music, sound effects, or dialogue to trigger flashing lights. She warns that the in-line mic is pretty sensitive and picks up footsteps crossing a hardwood floor, so it may not be a great option to enable it in noisy, high-traffic areas. Verified reviews on Amazon and GE’s website confirm that the adhesive is relatively strong, so you won’t have to worry about them falling in the middle of the night. However, if you want to create custom shapes, you may want to consider using Velcro or something similar.GE Cync strip light features – Wattage: Not specified | Max brightness: 1600 Lumens | Color temperature range: 2000-7000K | RGB: Yes | Wireless: Yes | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth  More
