Apple Watch accessories that are worth your time

[ad_1]


Since buying an Apple Watch a few months ago, I've been searching and trying out all sorts of accessories to protect, charge, and show off my shiny new toy. Below, the Apple Watch add-ons that were worthwhile.


This Nomad silicone sports strap is waterproof, made of a antimicrobial material, and is compatible with all 42mm Apple Watches. $42.



If you're looking for a cheaper silicone replacement band, this Been5le fits all models. $11.

For a more colorful option, this Case-Mate leather band has a bright blue interior. It works with all versions of the Apple Watch and comes with a lifetime warranty. $25.


If you have a favorite watch band company that doesn't make a model for the Apple Watch, don't worry. These stainless steel band adapters are available in three colors—grey, pink gold, and silver—and come in sizes for both the 38mm and 42mm models. $11.


Belkin products are some of the few that come with built-in magnetic Apple Watch chargers. The Belkin PowerHouse dock lets you charge your Apple Watch and iPhone at the same time. It comes with a built-in lightning cable for your iPhone and plugs into a standard wall outlet. $100.



There's also the Belkin Valet Charge Dock, which has a metal chrome finish and a weighted base so it won't tip over. $50.



If you're looking for a portable charger, Belkin makes a 6700-mAh powerbank that comes with a 3.9-inch micro-USB cable, which you can use to charge your Apple Watch eight times. $86.


If you use your Apple Watch for exercise, these Vi Bluetooth headphones are a must-have. —Apple HealthKit compatible—accessory. The built-in personal trainer works with Apple HealthKit to create a personalized workout. It learns how you run and monitors stats like your heart rate, motion, and elevation. The Harman Kardon headphones have waterproof earbuds that actually stay in your ears, plus a battery life that lasts all day. They also, of course, let you answer phone calls or listen to music from your watch or smartphone. $200.

Ice technicians are the secret stars of the Winter Olympics

[ad_1] The emphasis of this year's two-week-long Winter Olympic Games has been placed squarely on the Olympians themselves. After all, the stated purpose of the international competition is to bring together the world’s greatest athletes in a nail-biting competition across fifteen different winter sports. But before the curlers, skiers, and skaters even arrived in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the Olympians of the ice technician world were already a few weeks deep in a competition of their own. Mark Callan of the World Curling Federation and Markus Aschauer of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation both say they’re hoping to make the best ice the Winter Olympics have ever seen. To transform the barren concrete jungle of existing tracks and arenas into an ice- and snow-covered wonderland is an enormous undertaking. And it takes a keen understanding of the physics and chemistry that keeps frozen precipitation pristine. Curling Callan has been making and maintaining ice for m

In the wake of NYC terrorist attack, Trump says he's ordered increased 'Extreme Vetting'

[ad_1] President Donald Trump has requested for a heightened vetting program following Tuesday's terrorist attack in New York. @realDonaldTrump: I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program.

How to save everything you post to social media

[ad_1] If you get the urge to revisit that cute photo you posted some time last year, you'll have to scroll through your timeline for what feels like hours to track it back down. Instead, when you share a post on social media, also save it to your phone for safe-keeping. This will not only save your social media hits for posterity, but also make them easier to find if you ever need to rediscover them. In this guide, we focus on saving photos and videos, because text posts are slightly more complicated—the only way to really preserve text from Facebook and Twitter is to download your entire archive (we'll explain how to do this below), and Instagram and Snapchat don't let you save or export your instant messages at all. When it comes to photos and videos, there's a shortcut to make sure they stay on your phone: Originally film them through a dedicated app, which will save them to a gallery. Only then should you open up a social media app to share them. However, there'
