We’ve seen our fair share of pocket-sized drum machines and synthesizers over the years that were designed and built to make music on the go something fun and feasible. The new Bitty from Curious Sound Objects delivers in ways most of the other options don’t. For starters, it’s simple–four trigger buttons for sounds, two function buttons, and two knobs. Don’t let the Bitty name and the small form-factor fool you, this thing packs a pretty big punch thanks to the aluminum speaker that’s typically used as a car door panel speaker. It’s easy-to-learn, loud and pocket-sized which checks all the boxes for a portable drum machine and synthesizer, but the real pièce de résistance is the software. Bitty isn’t just a musical instrument, it’s a platform. Bitty comes with all of the software and samples the company has made–think sound packs like Theremin Bitty, Techno Bitty, Basement Bitty, Trap Bitty, Lofi Bitty Bitty, Beach Bitty, etc.–so you can customize the type of sounds you’re making without having to buy a whole new device.

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.
