The Apple Watch safety features have been growing in recent years, with the smartwatch now boasting features like fall detection for the elderly (and not-so-elderly) as well as being able to alert emergency services if you come off your bike or are involved in a vehicle smash.

There are many ways to experience happiness. Some find it in friendship, food, or the warm embrace of a loved one. Others experience joy through fast cars, fine wines and private jets. There’s delight to be found in a crisp Autumn morning, or a child’s smile on Christmas morning. Happiness can be hard to define, ...
I have countless highlights from Watches and Wonders 2024, but one watch I can’t stop thinking about is the Zenith Defy Revival A3648, a faithful recreation of one of Zenith’s first-ever dive watches.

Whether it’s fighting a robotic uprising, scrounging for supplies while evading zombie hordes, or simply trying to survive the classic nuclear annihilation scenario, there’s something oddly compelling about the end of the world.
