For those with larger collections, multiple TimePorters can be connected in a row, increasing its capacity and offering scope to showcase an entire collection or curate themed banded aesthetics.

 

TimePorter, which has glossy white finish to suit the décor of any room, can be displayed anywhere in the home, whether it be as a decorative feature in a bedroom or on the inside wall of a wardrobe/walk-in closet.

What’s more, assembly is incredibly easy, It simply affixes to a wall using the included 3M Command Strips, no nails or drilling required, making it suitable for rental accommodation and offering flexibility to relocate it without leaving unsightly holes or marks.

TimePorter is compatible with any Apple Watch strap that fits any Apple Watch model, including the new Series 9 and Ultra 2 models.

TimePorter will be available in the UK for £29.99 from Amazon UK from the end of October and  is available internationally now at twelvesouth.com (NB – shipping and customs apply when ordering to the UK from the Twelve South website).

The ULTIMAL Sports Strap Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a comfortable and affordable strap to check out if you need a new strap these straps are also compatible with most of the Apple watch range too and comes in all sizes and colours and other variants which is also cheaper than what apple command for their straps which is ludicrous in some cases.

The buckles are made of stainless steel and so is the clasp and sits nicely on the wrist when on, these bands are bigger and thicker than what Apple offer and look good and stand out so if that’s you and want a new strap that is cheaper and perhaps better checkout their range on Amazon.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 and iPhone 15 Pro first look

The latest and greatest from Apple is now here and in short what he have is some slight speck bumps and some new features, the new iPhone 15 pro is the phone of choice for us and the devices are now made with titanium and the feel of the phone in hand is much better than last years iteration and feels much lighter to hold in the nad and has a nice feel to the rear of the device.

The Watch 2 however was said to come in a Black colour this year which I would have preferred and there is literally no difference to the look of the device this year and there is some new features to arrive on it soon which is an odd move from Apple.

We will be doing many reviews in the coming weeks for cases and accessories for both the Watch and Phone and have many in the works now so if you have any accessories and cases etc do let us know and if you have any questions on the products themselves do get in touch.

Tech Review – Galaxy Watch One Click Fabric Band

The Galaxy Watch One Click Fabric band is one of many straps available to up the game with your watch, just like phones with cases watches now are an area where manufacturers can cash in with straps and bands to spice up your watch if you wish to do so.

This One Click Fabric Band is a simple installment and takes less than a minute to swap out, the pins however would be a bit of concern for me being so thin but so far so good, the strap is solid on the arm and can be fixed to any tightness you like and looks well, the colour may be a problem being so bright with getting dirty but that is to be expected and for the more demanding of us out there like sports fans. It is comfortable and has some breathability.

Overall it is a nice strap and the hook and loop fastener works well and the watch will remain secure on the wrist by my only worry is the pins holding it on but so far so good. Check the video below for more and stay tuned for more accessories for the Z Flip5 and Watch 6

Tech Review – NOMAD sports band for Apple Watch Ultra

The Apple Watch Ultra is an expensive companion device and one I never thought I would get myself but after owning the Series 7 and the latest SE I took the plunge and got one to try out and now holding onto it and like the case business the strapo business is now booming and we have covered some strap reviews here for the Apple watch over the last while and nomadgoods gave us a sports band to try out that matches their case for the iPhone 14 pro and both go hand in hand together and looks great as a pair and gives me assurance my strap will not fall off even with heavy use and for being a bit on the sporty side myself with activities it also lets my wrist breathe.

The strap itself is made from quality materials and is simple to swap out like any other Apple watch strap and to replace it takes 30 seconds at most, what I like about this strap is the looks and colour and also the how the closure works on the strap itself. Again like a case people just put them on and on they go but having both the looks feel and protection is what matters for me and not only that your wrist can breathe whilst you do your workouts and so on and the pin and tuck closure makes it easy to put on and take off.

Check out the video review below for more and do check out the link below and see what options are available for you to pick from as they have a great range of products and stand out colours to give you a more premium look on your devices.

Workout Ready

Sport Band is built around a minimalist design meant to keep the weight low and ventilation high. Channels in the bottom of the band and full length adjustment holes increase breathability and flexibility.

Pin and Tuck Closure

Sport Band is finished with a custom-designed pin and tuck closure mechanism that is both slim and secure. The aluminum pin latches through the band while the tail end is tucked away neatly against your wrist.

High Performance

We use FKM on Sport Band for its excellent balance of comfort and durability. FKM’s natural flexibility allows the band to easily contour around your wrist and its resistance to oils allows it to quickly wipe clean after a workout

Bold Design

A sporty aesthetic and sharp details combine for a distinct, yet understated look unique from any other band. The Marine Blue FKM is finished with a subtle microtexture for a classy satin finish.

Features

  • FKM fluoroelastomer rubber
  • 100% waterproof
  • Interior ventilation channels
  • Custom aluminum closure pin
  • Designed for Apple Watch Ultra, Series 8, 7, 6, SE, and all previous versions of Apple Watch

Tech Review – Zox Apple Watch Bands

When we buy a new phone we most likely go look for a new case if you do not get one in the box and it is a huge industry with lots of money to be made and now choice and choice is a win for the consumer and not only that we can now personalise cases too, alongside that we also can now do the same for our smartwatches and is now a huge industry.

When I get a new phone or watch I tend to get new cases and now I am the same with my smartwatches, currently I use the Google Pixel watch and Apple watch ultra and already I have changed their look with new straps..

Zox is a brand that can help out here with a different take on new watch straps and not only that they look nice and stand out and each strap has a story behind it, the straps are well built and feel really nice on your arm too and very comfortable and easy to adjust and lets your wrist breathe too.

Like all ZOX, each Apple Watch band is individually numbered on both the band and matching collectors card to ensure no two are ever the same. Numbers 00001 – 00100 are stitched in gold and include Gold Cards that can be redeemed for special, limited edition rewards.

 

Each strap has a custom message written on it and a card with the same message which can all be seen in the description of the strap on site. The company also makes other items with the same idea behind it such as wrist bands dog leads bags and clothing and you should check them out they are really nice and fashionable.

The company also has an app where you can shop and also check out their website HERE

Like all ZOX, every watch band we produce is made using elastic we mill from recycled water bottles with our friends at Repreve. Each one takes the equivalent of one 8oz water bottle out of our ecosystem, meaning you’re changing the world with both kind words and a brighter tomorrow.

Check out the watch bands below we have checked out and do check out the company who are doing something really nice and thinking of the environment and you as a customer with personal messages.

Convert your Apple Watch to Watch Ultra In Under A Minute – Review

The Apple Watch Ultra is a hugely expensive companion device and is a very nice looking watch I have to say despite not having so much love for the brand. I have though the last two years took another go with Apple and it must be said their watches are nice and the phone not so bad but with barriers still in place for many things which is why I still carry an Android device but with their watches they are good I will give them that and after having several models I went back to the Series 7 again after having the latest SE version which is just as good. Now before I go forward this does not add battery life or features it is just for looks.

A few have asked about the expensive product and I simply can’t justify the price regardless how good it looks and some conversion kits have cropped up online so I decide to get one for myself and convert the Series 7 45mm which I own and love and totally transform it into the Watch Ultra for around 20 euros, now you will be waiting a while to get these items delivered but today we check this out in a short video and let you see what to expect and get that Ultra Watch look at a fraction of the cost whilst updating your own watch.

Below is the links where I got the products and the video, the only thing is changing the face itself which can be modified in the app and who knows I still may pick the Watch Ultra up given that the product is not metal on the housing end but let us know what you think. It looks good but you will know it feels cheap. Perhaps later on there will be metal housing available which would come at an expense but would be worth it on the looks department.

How to avoid getting scammed with cryptocurrency?

Scammers always try to steal your money, for which they keep on finding new ways all the time. The cryptocurrency industry is spread on a large scale, which has led to the development of frauds that have created a lot of opportunities for fraud. The past year has broken its records in terms of cryptocurrency crime. If you too are more interested in crypto, then it will be important for you to be aware of the many ways the risks are involved. Read on if you want to know more about crypto scams, how to prevent them, and how to avoid them. If you are looking for a safe and secure trading platform for Bitcoin, you may visit https://quantum-ai.trading/  which will make your trading journey hassle-free.

How to spot cryptocurrency scams?

Let’s first of all you should know how you can detect crypto scams:

 

  • Non-existent whitepaper: A cryptocurrency may have its whitepaper as this is one of the most important aspects whenever the initial coin is introduced. Through the whitepaper, we need to be clear about how the cryptocurrency is designed as well as how it works. If you don’t understand that white paper, you have to tread very carefully. 

 

  • Guaranteed Returns: If you make financial investments, they can never guarantee you returns for the future, because that investment can go down or up. If someone promises to offer crypto, then understand that it will be a risky way for you to earn money, in which only you will have to face loss. 

 

  • Anonymous Member: Many investments are made only with businesses, you may be able to trace who is behind them. This means that anyone looking to drive an investment can easily get an active social media presence. Even if you can’t find out who is running the system, you have to be very careful.

 

  • Excessive Marketing: All businesses that want to promote themselves. But at the same time, many people commit fraud with these digital currencies that it attracts – such as offline promotions, payment influencers, and online advertisements etc. It is intended to reach the greatest number of people in an amount of time and raise money quickly. Stop and do more study if you believe a cryptocurrency offering’s marketing is pushy or makes grandiose claims sans any evidence.

Cryptocurrency investment scams

 

  • Giveaway scam: This is a place where scammers promise to multiply the crypto sent, which is considered a form of giveaway scam. A sense of authenticity and urgency can be created with clever messaging that mimics a legit account on social media. Users may transfer money rapidly in the expectation of immediate rewards because they believe this occasion is a “once in a long life” occurrence.

 

  • Cloud mining scams — Cloud mining simply refers to those companies that allow you to rent mining hardware for a fixed fee that is considered part of the projected revenue. Theoretically, this would enable individuals to mine remotely sans having to invest in costly mining hardware. But a lot of cloud mining businesses are frauds or, at worst, unproductive, meaning you waste money or make less than they promise.

 

  • Phishing Scams — Phishing scams Crypto are scamming that purport to be related to your wallet online and that target your information. Your wallet i.e., private keys is targeted by scammers so that they can access your wallet and steal your funds. The same main way they work is that it can be similar to many phishing attacks and can also be related to fake websites. To entice readers to an especially designed website, they send an email asking for their private key data. The digital coin that is stored in those wallets is stolen once the hackers have access to this information.
