Over the past 18 months, smart fitness equipment has taken at-home workouts to the next level. Companies like Mirror have paved the way for gym-quality workouts at home with virtual personal trainers, courses, and much more. Most of these workouts revolved around bodyweight exercises rather than weight-assisted exercises due to the limitations of the equipment.
That has all changed with the introduction of Mirror Weights. These smart, connected dumbbells and ankle weights track your reps in real time and offer suggestions to correct your form, as well as when to increase or decrease the weight you’re using. The weights come in increments of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, and 35 pounds, while the ankle weights are available in 1- or 2-pound increments.
These weights work in conjunction with Mirror’s new Universal Health Score (UHS) categorized by heart, muscle, and recovery. This system tracks and recommends the amount of cardio, strength, and recovery work that a user needs to do to meet their goals. The weights serve as motivators to help users hit personal records in classes like HIIT and help enable the tracking of accuracy and number of punches in a boxing class.
The weights are designed to be easier on the hands, but are still durable, with a zinc faceplate and matte chrome finish. The design of these weights stand apart from just about anything else you may have seen before because they look more like stylish accessories than anything else. It shouldn’t come to a surprise that a stylish design is strong selling point here, given how the Mirror smart fitness display is also meticulously designed, with an aesthetic that’s hard to miss.
The weights start out at $50 for the 1-pound option and scale in price to $200 for the 35-pound option. The Ankle weights are $80 for the 1-pound option and $95 for the 2-pound option. The weights will be available for purchase on Mirror.com and in select stores across the country. The only drawback here is that if you want to have a set of weights to cover the gamut, you’ll end up spending quite a lot to acquire what you need.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
