Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Kids love tech….but they don’t have to be parked in front of screens all of the time. Some of our favorite screen free toys include the Dog-E One in a Million Robot Dog from WowWee. A six year old we know still loves to play with hers all these months after the holiday season. WowWee has a winner. The same is true for the Tonie Box….the screen free story telling speaker….that’s rechargeable for road trips…is always fun with new Tonies arriving all of the time to keep kids entertained. Parents and grandparents can narrate their own stories for kids to play too. And Tamagotchi is coming back with new virtual pets…Angel Festival and Monster Carnival. They are the second wave of the Tamagotchi Uni line and will arrive July 13th.

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. The OnePlus Watch 2 has arrived …delivering multi-day battery life in a Wear OS device. That alone is a pretty big deal. And while there is no option for a stand alone cellular connection, there is dual frequency GPS tracking and an AMOLED display. The OnePlus Watch 2 is nicely styled…but some may find it large for smaller wrists. We’ve seen the price at OnePlus.com as low as 270 dollars….with free Buds 3 headphones and fifty dollars off when you trade in any watch in any condition. If you are looking for a smart watch and a decent pair of ear buds…that is a deal worth pursuing. OnePlus is a Chinese manufacturer that has been delivering some impressive devices to consumers for more than a decade.
