Hello and welcome to Stuff’s fitness special! As is customary at the start of a new year, we introduce you to the very latest cutting-edge get-fitter tech in our cover feature – including running watches, fitness trackers, cycling gear and much more. If you’ve been looking for some inspiration, you’ll surely find it in there. We’ve also taken a deep dive into smart rings – will they spell the end for traditional trackers, and even some watches, as they grow in intelligence and we demand more frictionless tech interactions? As you’d expect, we’ve also compared plenty of other products including a fine selection of affordable tablets, stacks of smart scales and three winter-tastic hot chocolate makers, not forgetting a shootout between two of the best 360° cameras. Review-wise, the slate…

£20,000 approx / renault.co.uk So, another cute little EV for people whose parents never let them have a puppy? Yes, and it’s another retrotastic creation from the Renault camp. The original 1990s Twingo had a cult following; this re-imagined all-electric car will get the same well-deserved treatment, as it’s just as delicious as Renault’s reboots of the 4 and 5 models. And this compact city slicker with four doors and a hatchback will start at under £20k. Any design highlights? Renault’s designers are on fire at the moment and the new Twingo is packed with clever touches. The front and rear lights are fab, especially at the back where there’s a neat little aerodynamic fin on each side. Plastic bumper trims are handy for folks who like to park by…

Love food? Ready to enter your digital ceramic grilling era? The new Kamado Joe Konnected Joe Digital Charcoal Grill And Smoker, worth £1999, fuses traditional barbecuing with digital tech for the ultimate outdoor cooking experience – and we have one to give away. Lighting a fire has never been so easy: simply press the automatic fire starter, then set your desired cooking temperature with the digital control board or the Kamado Joe app. You can use that control board for temperature graphing, alerts, and multiple cooking modes. The 46cm ceramic grill offers 0.16m² of cooking space and has a two-tier cooking system so you can prepare two things at different temperatures simultaneously. The stand-out design will look great in any garden, and the heavy-duty steel grill cart with locking wheels…

Measuring in at 6mm (or 5.99mm if you want to get pedantic), the Edge 70 can’t claim to be the absolute slimmest smartphone on the block: both the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge have it licked for outright skinniness. But you’ll be paying a whole lot less to slip this phone in your pocket. You’re also getting more storage as standard, and a much beefier battery. It definitely doesn’t feel like a cheap option, with an aluminium frame that’s cool to the touch and a micro-textured nylon material on the rear panel that’s great for grip. It also hides fingerprint smudges almost perfectly. The rear camera module bulges out to almost twice the thickness of the rest of the phone, but the transition is subtle. Contrasting blue accents around…

The Oura is the OG of the smart ring world – the Lord of the Rings, if you will – and with this fourth iteration there’s now a ceramic version (£499), but it’s the standard silver one I wore for this review. It looks a bit cheap, to be honest, so if I had the choice again I’d opt for something different. There is an impressive array of sizes to choose from and Oura will post out a ring-sizing kit for free, but it’s still a relatively chunky unit regardless. And it comes with its own bespoke charging stand, so you’ll have to take that away with you if travelling for more than a few days. Oura has packed in a plethora of sensors – heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature,…

Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser What’s the story? The Velvetiser claims to be able to make barista-grade hot and cold drinking chocolate. Its secret? A vortex effect generated through inner-pod ridges and a custom whisk that folds chocolate into the milk with a turn of the dial. Inside the box you’ll find the machine, a Podcup (for hot chocolate), a Podglass (for cold) and 10 single servings of different recipes. Is it any good? It’s a gift that keeps on giving: beautifully presented and fully equipped to make velvety-smooth drinks. The machine is quiet, takes 2mins 46secs to heat, and produces a proper hug in a mug. Whisk measurement is a little tricky to read, but stay focused and it’ll melt your heart. Price £150 / go.stuff.tv/Velvetiser Stuff says A fabulous machine…

NEW 1 OnePlus 15 from £849 / go.stuff.tv/OnePlus15 Any pretence of OnePlus being an underdog in the phone world has been thrown out of the window here: there’s not really a box the OnePlus 15 doesn’t tick. It’s a top performer, lasts ages, has competitive cameras, and looks every bit the flagship. Only the most serious of photographers will be left wanting, but they’ll have to spend a lot more to get significantly better snaps. Everyone else will struggle to find much to grumble about. Stuff says Ace performance, stamina and cameras: this is the all-rounder for most people NOW ADD THIS Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case This durable cover plays nicely with most MagSafe kit, and has customisable colour accents. from £32 / oneplus.com TIPS & TRICKS • Not an AI addict?…

1 Sony WF-1000XM5 £219 / go.stuff.tv/WFXM5 The WF-1000XM5 in-ears are significantly smaller than the XM4s, which were already a lot more compact than their predecessors. And yet Sony has still squeezed even larger drivers inside each earbud, along with the firm’s best noise-cancelling yet. The feature list is as extensive as ever, and they’re priced to compete with Bose’s best. Add in decent battery life and a strong app, and you won’t find anything more well-rounded for less. Stuff says Excellent noise-cancellation, a comfy fit and simply stellar audio NOW ADD THIS Spigen Rugged Armor Case This drop-resistant outer shield comes with a carabiner clip for keeping your buds within reach. £20 / amazon.co.uk TIPS & TRICKS ● Sony’s eartips are great, as long as you use the right size.…

1 Wahoo Elemnt Ace £490 / go.stuff.tv/WahooAce At first glance the Ace might not seem too far removed from previous Elemnt cycle computers, but Wahoo has changed almost every aspect under the hood – and entirely for the better. Setup and syncing are a breeze, tracking is spot-on, and this is the first to take wind resistance into account when measuring your metrics. If you want to analyse your rides like a pro, no mainstream tracker does it better than this deceptively smart little box. Stuff says This overhauled bike computer is about as comprehensive as they get, but still easy to use 2 Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 £249 / go.stuff.tv/PbP2 The main sell here is heart-rate tracking, which you won’t need if you’ve got an Apple Watch, but beyond…

1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Max £1599 / go.stuff.tv/AmbeoMax Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform sonic feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling scale of its sound is remarkable – and the more affordable (but still hugely powerful) Plus version is also worth a look. Stuff says  The Ambeo Soundbar Max is a big unit but the sound it makes is bigger still 2 Sonos Arc Ultra £999 / go.stuff.tv/ArcUltra It’s scarcely believable that such high-quality sound can come from such a diminutive form. The Ultra is about as big as upgrades get, with much more quality on offer than you get from the standard Arc. Stuff says Incredible for…

So we’re celebrating the worst app that ever existed? Thanks for ruining my day. Oh, come on. You might argue iTunes didn’t quite meet Apple’s goal of creating “the world’s best” digital jukebox, but it was solid. Having eaten the indie app SoundJam MP, Apple regurgitated it in its own brushed-metal image, binning the complexity found in most music players of the time. iTunes was a player for the rest of us, encouraging average punters to immerse themselves in the digital music revolution and shake up their listening habits. Ah yes. Rip. Mix. Burn. Get sued by the music industry. Sure, iTunes encouraged people to flirt with copyright law, but lawyers weren’t exactly queuing up because you ripped your Phil Collins CDs to MP3. In fact, although music execs initially…

YOU CAN HOOK IT UP TO YOUR TELLY, BUT THE DIMENSIONS ARE MORE STEREO THAN SOUNDBAR Why have I got a sudden urge to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey again? That’ll be the power of the monolith. In Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi classic the mysterious black slab triggers momentous leaps in human evolution; and while the Mu-so Hekla is unlikely to have such a profound impact on our species, it should certainly make a significant difference to how good both your movies and music sound. With 15 individually amplified drivers – seven on the front, two on each side, and four on top – and 660W of sonic oomph, those opening bars of Also Sprach Zarathustra are sure to sound suitably epic. So is it a soundbar or a hi-fi? That’s…

Landing a job at DJI was serendipitous. I grew up in Stuttgart. After I graduated I went to Hong Kong and had my first job there, but the corporate business environment wasn’t fulfilling. At the end of 2014, I used all my courage to go to Shenzhen and interviewed with DJI. It was an exciting international company with great products, looking to expand into the European market. I helped them to build a European business and was frequently travelling back and forth between Frankfurt, Rotterdam and Shenzhen. Insta360 had a team of around 50 when I joined. I went back to Shenzhen looking for more global roles. Shenzhen is an amazing place for hardware, as there’s so much innovation happening around drones and camera tech. I heard about a company…

HANDY HANDLES The most metrics Salter Body Insight A pull-out handle and eight electrodes help this affordable new scale track up to 58 health metrics. Dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis makes for more accurate measurements, and the data is all broken down in Salter’s app. So if you skip leg day, it knows! £60 / go.stuff.tv/SalterInsight The thin thinker Beurer BF 990 WiFi Another with eight electrodes, this model promises full-body analysis with up to 25 types of data. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi mean the data’s synced to your phone straight away; you can read it in detail in the Beurer app. And at less than 3cm, it’s definitely slimmer than you. £120 / go.stuff.tv/BF990 The resilient recharger Hume Pod The Hume Pod seems pricier than some smart scales – but look…

With wearables now smarter than a lab’s worth of sports scientists, it’s easy to feel bombarded with data. Ditching the screen is one way to avoid that – at least until you open a companion app – and while Whoop set the standard, its subscription model (see p53) isn’t for everyone. Polar is happy to charge a one-off fee for the Loop, and the Finnish firm has enough sporting pedigree that its fitness metrics should be just as insightful. At least, that’s the theory… The sensor is beyond minimalist, with a metal clasp and plastic underside; it’s barely wider than the included strap, and weighs a barely-there 29g all-in. The ‘sand’ version’s gold finish treads the line between blingy and sophisticated; the black and dark brown models are a bit more…

If you’re a runner who thrives on structure, Runna might be your new drill sergeant. This app builds personal training plans tailored to your ability, goals and schedule – whether you’re new to 5k runs or planning an ultra. The coaching feels surprisingly human, especially when you’re getting nudged to do speed work after a day of sitting like a gremlin. But the plans won’t auto-adjust unless you tinker with them, so don’t expect a completely hands-off experience. Still, the focus on progression, strength training and recovery guidance makes Runna feel like a coach in your pocket. Just be warned: its marathon plans pull no punches. Long runs can be brutal, and some users find the pressure intense. But it’s cheaper than burning out with guesswork. Club can handle me…

THE BASICS ■ Take easy wins Failure is demoralising. If your task tally looks tragic by lunchtime, you might feel your day’s already doomed. So set yourself up for the opposite by front-loading tiny guaranteed victories. Yes, it’s a trick, but it works. Quick tasks that deliver a dopamine pop are even better, such as a brisk morning stroll. ■ Make it personal Build a system that suits your brain, not a fantasy you see when mainlining YouTube productivity videos. If you need a kick up the backside, construct something with guardrails; but if you thrive in organised chaos, don’t suddenly pretend you’re a time-blocking wizard. Use whichever structure keeps you moving rather than faffing. ■ Be flexible If you’re all “New Year, new me” until March and then the…

1 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 from £1649 / go.stuff.tv/ZFold7 Cutting a few features has turned the Z Fold7 into the best of the current foldable breed. The lack of stylus support might sting a little for the small minority who used an S Pen on older Folds, and battery life is becoming a bit of a lead weight for Samsung phones in general. But the Z Fold7’s svelte form, expansive screens and capable rear cameras otherwise bring it up to par. Feature-packed software and swift performance then make it very easy to live with indeed. Stuff says Slim, speedy, and with superior snappers: Samsung has finally got a foldable right 2 Honor Magic V5 £1400 / go.stuff.tv/MV5 This is a genuine rival to the Z Fold7 in terms of its slinky dimensions,…

1 Sony WH-1000XM6 £349 / go.stuff.tv/XM6 Sony’s noise-cancellers only needed subtle upgrades to stay ahead of the pack for this generation – these are the most complete headphones the company has ever delivered. The combination of exceptional comfort, class-leading ANC and versatile sound profiles results in a pair of cans that will adapt to anything you care to throw at them. For those who spend hours each day immersed in music or media, they’re worth every penny. Stuff says Superb sound, jaw-dropping ANC and the return of foldability keep Sony out in front NOW ADD THIS TwelveSouth AirFly SE This adapter lets you use your XM6s wirelessly with the headphone port on a plane, with 20hrs of battery life. £40 / twelvesouth.com TIPS & TRICKS ● Enable spatial audio and…

1 Apple MacBook Air (M4) from £899 / go.stuff.tv/AirM4 The M4-powered Air clearly takes things on a step, thanks to various improvements combined with a lower starting price. While Windows ultraportables are improving all the time, they can’t match the performance and battery life on show here. This is not Apple’s biggest ever forward leap, but it’s enough to keep it clear out in front. Stuff says Oh-so-predictably, the MacBook Air is still the everyday laptop to beat NOW ADD THIS Anker Prime Charging Docking Station This clever dock offers 14 different functions, including mega-fast charging and dual display support. £180 / anker.com TIPS & TRICKS • You can use two screens plus the Air’s own. Arrange them in System Settings > Displays. • Turn on Show Percentage and you’ll…

£tba / go.stuff.tv/SteamFrame Valve’s long-awaited new VR headset offers two ways to play your library of Steam games Play all your love on me Six years is a long time in any reality, but in the world of VR it feels like a lifetime; so while the Steam Frame has been a long time coming, it looks like it was worth the wait. Replacing the now discontinued Valve Index, which was released back in 2019, the Frame is a lot more versatile than its predecessor. For starters it doesn’t need base stations to know where you or the controllers are, using four built-in tracking cameras instead – but perhaps even more significant than that is the fact that you can use it without a PC. I have a stream The…

The third generation of the Apple Watch Ultra takes the same formula as the two before and adds a few new ingredients. But as with the Ultra 2 a couple of years ago, it’s not enough to make an upgrade worthwhile – from the old model, or even from a standard Apple Watch Series 9, 10 or 11. The Ultra’s got off-grid satellite connectivity now, plus 5G data. You won’t need 5G for what this watch can do, but as mobile networks move more into the 5G era, there is an element of future-proofing. The display is slightly larger thanks to a smaller bezel, though this isn’t transformative. The upgraded display is better for viewing angles from the side, though, and this is really handy. In terms of the ever-growing list…

from £1350 / go.stuff.tv/E5 ■ While Tag Heuer’s design team hasn’t reinvented the wheel, it has refined every curve and edge for its fifth-gen smartwatch. The E5 comes in two sizes – 40mm and 45mm – both with sharper lugs, smoother pushers and a more seamlessly integrated strap. The former suits smaller wrists; the latter has more presence but is surprisingly lightweight if you opt for titanium. ■ The larger variant’s 1.39in AMOLED display has more pixels and is bright enough to see clearly outdoors. Colours are lively, with deep blacks that add to the whole ‘real watch’ vibe. ■ Wear OS has been dropped in favour of in-house software. Tag Heuer OS is a strong first effort, bringing a cleaner interface with simple navigation and button shortcuts. It all…

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE What’s the story? Samsung’s handsome pad is designed to be a jack of all trades, seemingly aimed at students who like to cram the occasional PUBG frag-fest or TV marathon between lectures. As the priciest model in this test, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE drifts into premium pricing territory – but in its defence, it does pack the highest-resolution cameras, an included S Pen stylus and Android 16, the very latest version of Google’s OS (over which Samsung’s own UI flourishes have been bolted). On paper, it’s the best tab here. I wasn’t much impressed with its miserly 128GB of built-in storage, but the microSD slot makes adding extra space a cheap job. Is it any good? The Exynos 1580 with 8GB of RAM is…

from £749 / go.stuff.tv/F8Ultra ■ Speaker grilles don’t typically show up on the backs of phones, and the ‘sound by Bose’ branding is your clue that the F8 Ultra does something special on the audio front. It’s essentially a miniature subwoofer, which gives the down-firing main driver and earpiece tweeter a serious boost. ■ That’s enough to overshadow the display, which is no mean feat as it’s a 6.9in whopper. The resolution is plenty sharp, the adaptive refresh rate is smooth, and it delivers engaging colours that don’t overegg the saturation. ■ The three 50MP rear snappers put in a good shift, with the 5x telephoto letting you get usefully closer to subjects. Consistency between lenses is decent and there’s good dynamic range, but image processing isn’t as mature as…

1 Google Pixel 9a from £449 / go.stuff.tv/Pixel9a This might be Google’s affordable model, but it looks and feels very grown-up. In no way does the Pixel 9a come across like a cut-price option, and a scan of the spec sheet shows there’s not a lot of breathing room between it and the Pixel 9: same Tensor G4 chipset, same Gemini-infused Android 15, same 6.3in size for the OLED display. The cameras are excellent for the cash, as usual, while the battery and performance punch above their weight. Stuff says Improved in all the ways that matter – a classy phone experience for less cash 2 Nothing Phone 3a from £329 / go.stuff.tv/Phone3a One of the most comprehensive affordable phones out there, with stand-out styling, unique features and slick software. Performance…

1 OnePlus Watch 3 £319 / go.stuff.tv/OPWatch3 This is a simply superb wearable, with the best battery life of any Wear OS watch – thanks to silicon-carbon cell technology borrowed from OnePlus’s smartphones – and subtle yet meaningfully improved styling. Health tracking has taken a big step forward, even if we’d still give the edge to a top-tier Garmin for more serious stattery; but with pricing on its side, the OnePlus Watch 3 should be right at the top of any Android smartwatch shopper’s list. Stuff says A more refined take on an already fantastic watch that lasts longer and is even more fitness-friendly 2 Apple Watch SE 3 from £219 / go.stuff.tv/WatchSE3 This has to be Apple’s most value-packed product ever. The Series 11 is worth the extra for…

1 LG OLED42C5 £950 / go.stuff.tv/LGC5 LG’s mid-range OLED TVs have long been Stuff favourites, and the 42in C5 is a fantastic performer with a bump in HDR brightness that nudges it comfortably ahead of the outgoing C4. The company’s webOS is more cluttered than it used to be and the speakers are pretty basic, but if you want the best all-round OLED for your cash then the C5 is the one for you – not least because it’s way, way cheaper now than at launch. Stuff says LG delivers another excellent OLED all-rounder with engaging HDR images NOW ADD THIS LG S95TR Up-firing rear satellites and a wireless sub create 9.1.5 Dolby Atmos surround sound.  £1299 / richersounds.com TIPS & TRICKS • Got a modern LG soundbar? WOW Orchestra…

1 Apple iPad Pro (M4)  from £999 / go.stuff.tv/iPadProM4 The current iPad Pro has incredible processing power, while being slimmer than before. The performance gains are quite staggering… and the only question is, why has Apple bothered to upgrade this tablet quite so much? It offers a level of capability that most people won’t ever need – so this is really a powerhouse for the 1% who edit or design with the stylus. And for them, the talented Pencil Pro is also a serious upgrade on the standard Pencil. Stuff says This really takes iPad power to the next level… at least until you’ve tried the new M5 version tested on p62 2 OnePlus Pad 3 from £599 / go.stuff.tv/Pad3 It’s hard to think of anything more you could want…

1 Sonos Move 2  £449 / go.stuff.tv/SonosMove2 The ‘2’ means our favourite speaker is now even better. Sonos has upgraded the Move in the areas that matter most: sound quality and battery life, the latter of which has more than doubled. Our only criticisms are about the high price and the weight – and the Sonos app, which has been a pain for years now. Line-in is also a little bit of a faff with the extra adapter… but if you’re in the market for this box, you’re probably beyond cables. Stuff says  Beefed-up audio and a longer-lasting battery – a winning combo NOW ADD THIS YouTube Music Premium If you’d like a side of optional visuals with your audio, try the ad-free tier of YouTube Music. £10.99/m / music.youtube.com…

1 Amazon Echo Spot (2nd Gen) £80 / go.stuff.tv/EchoSpot The Spot can do everything Alexa normally can, making it much more than just an alarm clock. Play podcasts, audiobooks and music from various providers, as well as controlling smart home devices from the comfort of your bed. Different animations appear on the display for things like the weather and song titles or calendar events. Stuff says A fully capable Alexa device that also happens to be a pretty good alarm clock NOW ADD THIS Honeywell T6R This Zigbee-enabled thermostat is wireless so you can place it anywhere. £134 / screwfix.com TIPS & TRICKS • You can tap the front to skip songs or snooze an alarm.

1 Meta Quest 3S from £289 / go.stuff.tv/Quest3S On price alone, the Meta Quest 3S looks hard to fault. You’re getting the same internals, same controllers and same colour passthrough cameras as the full Quest 3, just with last-gen optics. The built-in speakers envelop you in positional audio, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 brings much faster load times than the Quest 2, and the graphics have taken a dramatic step up. Rivals can’t compete with Meta’s range of games, and the level of immersion is up there with the best PC-based VR. Stuff says This is as well-rounded as affordable VR gets, making it a fantastic entry point for the tech 2 Sony PlayStation VR 2 £380 / go.stuff.tv/SonyPSVR2 As long as you have the PS5 needed to use it…

NEW 1 DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro £329 / go.stuff.tv/Osmo5Pro It may not topple the GoPro Hero13 Black on sheer specs, but the Osmo Action 5 Pro trumps it in real-world performance: 4K@60fps footage is punchy and detailed, with natural colour, effective stabilisation and file formats that give creators plenty of room for grading. It also lasts longer on a charge, manages double the case-free dive depth, and packs plenty of onboard storage. Plus the quick-release mount system gets on with both DJI’s own accessories and GoPro’s mounts. Stuff says This all-rounder snatches GoPro’s crown with sheer performance, brilliant build quality and superb features 2 GoPro Hero13 Black £270 / go.stuff.tv/Hero13 GoPro diehards might be disappointed that the Hero13 doesn’t have the 8K video or bigger sensor that many were…

1 Fujifilm X-T50 £1249 / go.stuff.tv/XT50 This is a wonderfully compact mirrorless camera with a distinctive top plate covered in control dials – including one dedicated to Fuji’s excellent film simulations. On paper it should deliver identical image quality to the flagship X-T5 (both have the same sensor and image processor), and that is absolutely the case: the 40MP sensor captures amazing detail, noise is well maintained at all ISO levels, and sharpness is on point across the frame. Stuff says A brilliant camera that puts Fuji’s fine film simulations front and centre NOW ADD THIS Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 An essential first lens for any Fuji newcomer, the 16-50mm is well suited to most scenarios. £599 / parkcameras.com TIPS & TRICKS ● With film simulations on a dedicated dial…

1 Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) £55 / go.stuff.tv/EchoDot5 The latest Dot offers improved sound quality over the 4th Gen model. Not surprisingly given its size, it still doesn’t have the heft of a full-scale Echo, but this Dot is more than good enough for bedside table or kitchen listening. The only pity is that Amazon has discontinued the better ‘with Clock’ variant in favour of the Echo Spot. Stuff says The 5th Gen brings a nice upgrade to an already excellent little gadget NOW ADD THIS Wall Mount for Echo Dot This mount for the Dot (and other small speakers) will keep it clear from wet kitchen surfaces. £14 / amazon.co.uk TIPS & TRICKS • Alexa’s voice can work like an intercom with connected Echo devices. • Alexa Voice…
