Other Smartwatches to Consider

The number of smartwatches on the market is staggering. I’ve tested models from Tag Heuer, Citizen, Montblanc, and many other fashion brands, but most of them are simply too expensive for what you get. Here are a few options I like.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra for $650: The 47-mm Galaxy Watch Ultra (7/10, WIRED Review) is the company’s Apple Watch Ultra and Garmin competitor, and it’s a solid first entry into the world of pricey, feature-rich, and powerful smartwatches designed for professional

How to transform leftover baked potato into a summery Italian feast | Waste not

I’m rolling these gnocchi out of yesterday’s leftover baked potato and feeling rather chuffed with myself, because when you’re able to cut out a step from a normally scratch-cook dish such as gnocchi, it makes life easier. Crisp up the leftover potato skins in a pan with sea salt to enjoy as a snack, or freeze them for making loaded potato skins (recipe coming next week).

Baked potato gnocchi with broad beans, pecorino and mint

A great way to make extra-flavourful fluffy pillows of gnocchi is to make them with leftover baked potato. Baking the potatoes instead of boiling them reduces their moisture content, meaning less flour is required, which in

Other Good Laptops We’ve Tested

Dell 14 Plus

Dell 14 Plus for $700: This is the first laptop in Dell’s major rebranding effort, and this one is a follow-up to the Dell Inspiron Plus 14. The Dell 14 Plus (6/10, WIRED Review) is a solidly midrange laptop, meaning it sports a clean but generic design and solid performance, without some of the bells and whistles that make laptops feel premium. The IPS screen is decent, as is the performance and battery life. The only real problem is that all available configurations come with 1 TB of storage, which is why

What Your Nighttime Breathing Says About Your Health

For decades, sleep disturbance was a punch line: the cartoon dad snoring, the disgruntled partner burying their head under a pillow. But science is beginning to paint a less jovial picture. Sleep apnea—a relatively common disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep—is now being taken seriously as a potential biomarker for a host of major health conditions, from cardiovascular disease to Alzheimer’s, even anxiety and depression.

“Sleep is just as important for health as diet and exercise,” says Marishka Brown, director of the US National Center on Sleep Disorders Research. “Poor sleep affects both your mental and physical health; it contributes to cardiovascular disease,

Other Alexa (or Alexa Compatible) Speakers

Amazon Echo Pop for $40: The Echo Pop is a perfectly fine little speaker, and the cutest one in Amazon’s lineup. Does it have great sound? No. It’s fine enough for background tunes or if you’re limited to a dorm room, but you’ll get much better sound for a similar size from the Echo Dot (but you’ll pay a little more, and you won’t get as cute of colors!)

Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $90: This smart display is another just-fine option, but it’s too small to be a great display, and the included camera

Sali Hughes on beauty: get your feet sandal-ready with a summer makeover

My feet have been in sandals for weeks and were ready to strip by April. I maintain them by filing and moisturising all winter, but a salon appointment is justifiable, especially if you have been inattentive.

Ask your pedicurist to use an e-file (a fine rotating electrical file) on rough heels, dry and jagged cuticles, and calloused toes. I always do this: the increase in smoothness is significant and can be maintained with DIY filing between appointments.

For these intervals, I use the very effective Boots Hard Skin Remover (£3.59) with regular soap in my weekly bath, and Glowxie’s Glass Foot File (£16.95; I like its palm-sized design, but any will do) for one

The Hyperflexible People Who May Help Unlock Better Sleep Apnea Treatments

In 2023, Mitchell Miller, a sleep medicine doctor based in Clearwater, Florida, received a visit from an unusual patient.

While Miller is accustomed to seeing people with sleep apnea—a persistent condition in which people stop breathing dozens or even hundreds of times during the night, causing disturbed sleep and daytime exhaustion—it is most common in men, particularly those who are overweight or obese and in their forties and fifties.

This patient was a 33-year-old woman of slight build who was also suffering from the telltale signs of daytime fatigue. Unlike Miller’s usual patients, she had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), the medical term for a group of genetic disorders

Lelo Dot Review: A Clitoral Pinpoint Vibrator

I didn’t expect 2025 to be the year that my longtime favorite vibrator would be replaced, but here we are. The winner of such a regal spot in my bedside table drawer? The Lelo Dot, a clitoral pinpoint vibrator.

I’ve come across a few pinpoint vibrators in my life as a sex toy reviewer, but I usually dismissed them mostly based on looks: pokey, aggressive, and somewhat medieval. In most cases, the pinpoint was made of hard ABS plastic, making it even more uninviting. It’s here that the Dot immediately stood out against other pinpoint vibrators with its super-soft and flexible silicone. Being able to easily

Melon salad and Georgian-style grilled vegetables: Alice Zaslavsky’s recipes for barbecue-friendly sides

Adjapsandal is one of my favourite Georgian go-tos, no matter the season. Its more traditional form is broody and stewy, designed to burble away on a winter stove a bit like ratatouille, but with more fresh herbs. In summer, while the barbecue’s on and veg dishes of this kind are va-va-voom, it makes sense to just chuck them on the barbie instead and perhaps team with a spicy shortcut adjika paste using a jar of roast peppers. And, second, a very adaptable carpaccio for any firm fruit in your fridge or fruit bowl: melons, stone fruit – heck, even pineapple! The key is to use a sharp knife and
