The 1970s were a sweet spot in product design, especially in France, where makers were beginning to marry natural materials like wood with the new optimism of plastic.
If you use WhatsApp for your personal and professional messaging, it can quickly become pretty busy. It also means that any professional contacts can see your photos, status updates, and where you are. To keep things separate its a good idea to use a different phone number for each, but having two numbers doesn't mean you'll need two phones.
Digital wall calendars take your online calendar-think your Google Calendar, the Calendar app on your iPhone, or your corporate Microsoft calendar account-and put it on a digital screen that you can mount on the wall or prop up on a stand on a countertop or table.
The Clock stands about four inches tall and weighs around 260 grams, featuring a minimalist dial and an illumination system called Light Hour that displays time with glowing numbers and concentric tick marks.
The best alarm clocks present an alternative vision for your morning wake up routine: less grating, more considerate, and aesthetically pleasing. For this list, we opted for privileged looks and throwback features over Bluetooth capability and USB ports, resulting in an assortment of beautifully designed analog and digital alarm clocks that cover the basics—a snooze button, a backlight, and dimmer—without going full 21st century.
Normally, the icon on the home screen shows the second hand smoothly gliding around the clock face. However, when an iPhone is in Low Power Mode, the second hand begins ticking around the clock instead. 'Wait... the Clock icon on iOS ticks like quartz watch in low power mode and mechanical in normal mode???' said @ShishirShelke1. 'That's ridiculous attention to detail.' His discovery has amazed iPhone users, although many pointed out that this probably wasn't a design decision by Apple.
Wellune looks like a small, sculptural lamp. A slender white stem curves upward from a flat circular base, blooming into a soft, rounded head that sits somewhere between a sprouting bud and a modernist desk light. The head detaches magnetically, which is a lovely detail because it turns setup into something almost playful. You hold this smooth, egg-like dome in your hand, place it on the stem, and it clicks into position with a satisfying connection.
In the middle of December 2025, I decided to switch my digital smartwatch for a classic analog watch, as part of my effort to make my life just a bit less digital in 2026. The added bonus is that I really liked the look of a classic watch. I went to my local jewellery store and picked out a mid-range watch. I didn't want to get an expensive one just in case my resolution didn't work out.
Phones have messed up our sleep in more ways than one. Not Only do their addictive functions keep us up scrolling well past our bedtimes, but they also wake us up with jarring sounds and haptics, shocking our systems with loud sounds and frantic measures that, once the alarm is disabled, send us back to sleep, overwhelmed. Also: I biohacked my sleep with these 5 gadgets (and it worked) Smart sunrise alarm clocks have grown in popularity as an alternative to our blaring phone alarms.
The brain kicks into gear and sends signals to initiate all sorts of bodily processes, from metabolism to hormone release, which helps us to feel ready for the day. It's a fundament of our circadian rhythm and we miss out on it whenever we wake before it gets light. That is where a sunrise alarm clock can fill the gap.
All you've gotta do is tap on any open space in that part of the Android Calendar app, and you'll see an event creation box right then and there: Also worth noting: The same tricks we went over a second ago for sliding around or extending your event's time will work in this context, too, once you've brought that box into focus.
