When Nintendo decided to release another console after the Wii U that was also built around the idea of a screened controller we had our doubts–especially with weird little detachable controllers called Joy Cons. We were wrong. The Nintendo Switch is awesome, and one of the best parts is the ability to take your games on the go. Nintendo is doubling down on that with the new dedicated handheld Nintendo Switch Lite. It can’t be connected to your TV. It doesn’t have detachable controllers, and it doesn’t have motion / IR / rumble features like the normal Switch Joy Con controllers. It’s also significantly smaller and lighter than the original. Most importantly, it does play all Switch games that support handheld mode. You’ll still be able to get your Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros or Zelda fix on the go without losing the ability for local wireless or online play with your friends. The Nintendo Switch Lite comes out September 20 in yellow, gray and turquoise colors.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
