So many watches, so little time: which were the best of the show? Hard to tell, but here are the ones that caught our eye.

I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR, tablets, gaming and future/emerging trends in our changing world. Other obsessions include magic, immersive theater, puzzles, board games, cooking, improv and the New York Jets. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future.

Meta watch

The newly-redesigned Meta watch looks a little over-the-top but has a distinct style and lots of colors. The design comes from designers and executives from Vertu and Fossil and boasts a simple yet functional set of features.
