Are you sore, stressed, or tired? That’s probably rhetorical in 2026, as everyone is tense at least some of the time. You can’t escape it forever, but you can get some relief, and we had the chance to explore and learn about SKG’s extensive line of massage devices designed to help whichever parts of you are taking a beating at CES 2026!
When technology collides with medicine, the result is often incremental progress that quietly improves existing tools. Every so often, though, something arrives that feels less like an upgrade and more like a category shift, the kind that makes you double-check whether it’s actually real. NAOX Technologies appears to be aiming for that second reaction with NAOX LINK, the world’s first FDA-cleared in-ear EEG system. Unveiled at CES 2026, NAOX LINK dramatically shrinks traditional brain-monitoring hardware into a pair of earbuds, while also setting the stage for NAOX WAVE, the company’s upcoming consumer-focused brain-signal platform designed for everyday life.
The Luna Band is stepping into a crowded wearable space with a slightly contrarian attitude. Instead of throwing more charts, rings, and color-coded scores at your wrist, this new band is designed to talk to you when it actually matters. Built by Luna, a rising health tech company focused on human performance, the Luna Band pairs a slim wearable with a voice-led system called LifeOS. The goal is not to make you decode health data at the end of the day, but to help you make better choices while the day is still happening.
The Ascentiz H+K exoskeleton system debuts at CES 2026 with upgraded hardware, smarter support, and a new high-power hip module, the Ascentiz H Ultra. The people behind the world’s first modular hip and knee exoskeleton clearly want to make powered mobility feel less like science fiction and more like something you would stash in your backpack before heading out for a long hike, a trail run, or even a brutal day zigzagging across a trade show floor.
One of the hardest things for loved ones as we get older is the in-between times. It’s easier when you know for sure that someone can’t live alone anymore, but when they’re starting to slow down but still want to be independent, it’s a lot tougher to know if you’re making the right decisions. The Cairns Health Luna wants to replace traditional “alert buttons” with a more hands-on AI solution that lets elderly loved ones remain more safely independent!
I’ve written a lot of reviews for Gear Diary, and this is the first time I’ve been genuinely stumped about how to approach a wearable product. I can confirm the WAVwatch 2.0 works, but does it WORK? If you’re confused, read on, so we can be confused together.
The air inside your home might look perfectly fine, but looks can be deceiving. The uHoo Caeli Smart Air Quality Monitor, priced at $399, takes all that invisible stuff floating around you — dust, humidity, carbon dioxide, and other microscopic pollutants — and turns it into something you can finally understand and act on. You can’t see the air you breathe, but Caeli helps you see what it’s doing to you.
The Echelon Stride-6 is a great treadmill for those who are space-constrained and need a solid, straightforward machine that covers the basics well. Echelon builds on a traditional treadmill experience with its subscription-based Echelon app, which adds live and recorded workout videos. Retailing for $1,799.99, it’s frequently found on sale, making it a more approachable option for those who want smart features without breaking the bank.
I’m a firm believer that if someone finds a fitness routine that works for them, that’s what matters. I like lifting heavy items; I have friends who prefer to run marathons, but there’s more than one way to get healthy. However, I do draw the line at taking advantage of people who are struggling to get healthy, and when we got this pitch for AlterMe, my jaw dropped.
If the shorter days have you feeling sluggish or unmotivated, it might not be your imagination; it’s biology. The new Lumie Dash is designed to bring a little daylight back into your life when the weather, your work schedule, or the season refuses to cooperate. Think of it as a pocket-sized sun substitute that helps you stay awake, alert, and less likely to sigh dramatically at 4 p.m. when it’s already dark outside.
The Neurable MW75 Neuro LT looks like a premium pair of over-ear headphones, and it is, but that is only half the story. Developed in collaboration with Master & Dynamic, these headphones layer brain-computer interface technology on top of Master & Dynamic’s high-end audio to give you real-time insight into focus, stress, and mental stamina. If the idea of getting a gentle nudge to take a break before your brain melts sounds appealing, keep reading.
Mornings can be chaos; maybe you’re corralling kids, rushing to catch a train, or simply trying to figure out if coffee counts as breakfast. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. That’s where Daily Harvest steps in with its High Protein Smoothies, a frozen lineup designed to turn your blender into a nutrition machine. With the launch of two new flavors—Strawberry Banana and Tropical Greens—Daily Harvest is making a strong case that you don’t need to sacrifice real ingredients for protein convenience. But do they deliver on taste, nutrition, and practicality? Let’s take a closer look.
The Owlet Dream Sight camera and the third-generation Dream Duo 3 bundle are both designed to ease parenting stress with smart features and a modern look. Dream Sight offers crisp 2K video, cry detection, and room temperature and humidity tracking. Pair it with the FDA-cleared Dream Sock to add pulse rate and oxygen monitoring, creating a more complete view of your baby’s well-being. Instead of simply showing you whether your baby is asleep, Owlet Dream Sight provides peace of mind and helps you feel calmer, more rested, and more confident, even during those unpredictable overnight hours.
The Hypershell X Ultra has officially arrived, and while the phrase “wearable exoskeleton” might sound like something reserved for sci-fi heroes, this device is designed for ordinary adventurers who just want to go farther without their legs crying mutiny. Whether your idea of adventure is a multi-day hike, a Saturday spent cycling, or just trying to keep up with kids on a family outing, the X Ultra promises to take a hefty load off your muscles and put it onto its robotic shoulders, or in this case, hips.
The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro smartwatch is not shy about what it wants to be. This is not the delicate dress watch you’d wear to a wedding. It’s the wrist companion for those who think a good time involves mud, sweat, snow, or the occasional backcountry scramble. With titanium in its design, a flashlight tucked right into the case, and enough battery life to outlast most vacations, the T-Rex 3 Pro has arrived for anyone who wants their gear to pull double duty; it looks sharp in the office but can survive a weekend on a mountain.
If you spend any time reading up on fitness watches, you probably know the name Suunto. They’re a Finnish company that lives and breathes fitness and outdoor exploration; they started in 1936 making compasses, and now they make everything from watches to headphones and heart rate sensors. We were excited to get the chance to test out their Suunto Run watch, and it’s clear this was made by a company that loves fitness!
If you’re someone who’s ever stood in front of your bathroom mirror, half-asleep, robotically brushing your teeth after mentally (mis)calculating how many times you could hit snooze and still make it to work — this smartbrush is for you. The Feno Smartbrush isn’t just another electric toothbrush or even just a smart toothbrush; it is a full-mouth, AI-powered, oral-health-summarizing, plaque-busting mini dental clinic in the palm of your hand. I’ve been testing the Feno Smartbrush Founders Edition Bundle to see if it’s worth the hype (and the price tag). Spoiler: There’s a lot to talk about.
If you’ve ever wished your cycling gear could do more without piling on extra gadgets, the new BleeqUp Ranger AI Cycling Glasses might just be your new best friend on the road. Debuting at MWC 2025, these sleek, lightweight glasses combine an action camera, open-ear headphones, and a walkie-talkie—all while protecting your eyes. And before you ask, yes, they’re prescription-compatible.
I love fitness and working out, but I haven’t set foot in a gym since 2020. Over the past few years, I’ve built a solid home gym with kettlebells, adjustable weights, and a rowing machine. But none of them have humbled me quite like the Rayofi Portable GYM Machine.
