It seems like every time I log into Facebook, I see another friend selling their Peloton Bike on Marketplace. At the height of the pandemic, those same friends were posting their 5 a.m. workouts on the stationary bike and beaming at the fact that the at-home exercise equipment sustained them through gym closures.

Do You Really Need a New Apple Watch If You Already Have One?
Reviews for the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 came out today. I’m in the process of reviewing them. I only have two wrists, and there are three Apple Watches to review—so yeah.

Feno, the “smart electric toothbrush,” promised to take a two-minute toothbrushing routine and bring it down to 30 or even 20 seconds by swabbing each of my teeth at once.
