H. Moser & Cie made fun of the Apple Watch – now it's built its own
Back in 2019, H. Moser & Cie. raised eyebrows with a cheeky idea: make a mechanical watch that looked like an Apple Watch. That piece, called the Swiss Alp Watch, is well worth checking out if you're a smartwatch fan. It was as much a parody as it was a protest – a reminder that a ticking, handcrafted watches could still hold their own in a world of black screens and constant notifications. But today, the brand isn't joking anymore… With its new Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, Moser has gone from mocking the smartwatch to building one of its own. This is a high-end, feature-packed, digital tool, built in partnership with Alpine Motorsports and designed specifically for the demands of the Formula 1 team. The world of car-watch tie-ins is full of branding exercises. A carbon fibre dial here, a racing stripe there. Job done. But the partnership between H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine goes well beyond the usual badge-swapping. The two brands started working together in 2024, aiming to do something meaningful – to make watches that serve a purpose within Alpine's F1 and Endurance racing teams. And that's exactly what they've done here. They've released a pair of watches under the Streamliner banner: one mechanical, one digital. The first – the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition – is a bold, skeletonised flyback chronograph built for the wrists of Alpine's race drivers (Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto). The second – the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition – is a fully connected hybrid smartwatch, designed for the mechanics and crew who keep the show running. Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition Let's start with the mechanical one. The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is powered by a skeletonised version of the AgenGraphe movement – a top-tier chronograph calibre developed with Agenhor. It's a sleek machine, built around legibility and racing functionality. Gone are the traditional sub-dials. Instead, it uses a central display for minutes and seconds, with a flyback function for instant resets – a must in motorsport. Visually, it's like a stripped-down single-seater: V-shaped bridges hint at F1 suspension arms, the central bridge mimics a helmet, and the rotor is shaped like an Alpine wheel rim. The 42.3 mm case is crafted from blue PVD steel and topped by a slightly domed sapphire crystal. It's an ode to performance, yes, but with the stripped-back Streamliner elegance that's become Moser's signature. Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition But it's the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition that's the real leap. It's an actual smartwatch, akin to a Withings or Pininfarina. A proper tool for Alpine's engineers, designed from the ground up with their input. It runs on a connected platform built by Sequent and connects to your phone via Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3. It has a discreet black screen that lights up with race-critical information, and includes a unique 'Race Mode' activated by a Sync button. That mode brings up team-specific messages, countdowns to race starts, and alerts tied to the F1 calendar. There's also a GMT function with a country selector, a split-seconds chronograph, and a perpetual calendar. The battery lasts up to a year in time-only mode, or six Grand Prix weekends when fully lit and connected. So there are no overnight charging rituals here. The Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition is compatible with both iOS and Android. Despite all the tech, Moser has kept the brand's visual DNA alive. There's a small domed Funky Blue fumé dial with hands and indices, giving it that classic Moser feel. It's part digital instrument, part luxury watch – entirely new territory. Availability The two watches come packaged as a set – only 200 of them will be sold together, in a proper collector's case, priced at $70,000 (approx. £52,000). But the Mechanics Edition will also be available separately to owners of Moser's previous Alpine-themed tourbillons, limited to 500 pieces, showing this isn't just a one-time experiment. Moser calls it 'an opening chapter', and while there's no word yet on whether the Mechanics Edition will ever be offered to the wider public, it shows what's possible when a traditional watchmaker embraces tech.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is on sale at an incredible price with 4G LTE and a stainless steel case
Would you ever consider something as old as the Apple Watch Series 7 for your next big smartwatch purchase with the Apple Watch Series 11 presumably just a few months away from a commercial debut? Before you dismiss that question with a clear and resounding no, let me ask you something else. How much would you be willing to spend on a super-premium cellular-capable Apple Watch with a robust stainless steel body? $500? $400? Well, what if I told you one such model can currently be had for a measly $219.99... in brand-new condition... with a full 1-year manufacturer warranty included? $529 off (71%) GPS + Cellular, Dual-Core S7 Processor, Always-on Retina Display, ECG, Fall Detection, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Third-gen Optical Heart Sensor, Always-on Altimeter, Compass, Emergency SOS, Sleep Tracking, WR50 Water Resistance, IPX6 Dust Resistance, Graphite Stainless Steel Case, Blue Band, New, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Woot GPS + Cellular, Dual-Core S7 Processor, Always-on Retina Display, ECG, Fall Detection, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Third-gen Optical Heart Sensor, Always-on Altimeter, Compass, Emergency SOS, Sleep Tracking, WR50 Water Resistance, IPX6 Dust Resistance, Gold Stainless Steel Case, Abyss Blue Sport Band, Renewed Buy at Amazon Oh, now I have your attention? Good, because Woot's latest killer Apple Watch Series 7 deal certainly deserves to be on a lot of bargain hunters' radars, and if you fit that description, you might want to hurry and cough up the aforementioned 220 bucks. Technically, this is a promotion scheduled to run through June 4, but given the 4G LTE connectivity, graphite stainless steel case (in a large 45mm size), and life-saving ECG technology offered by the ultra-affordable Series 7 variant on sale here for a limited time, that time could prove to be even more limited. After all, Woot can't have many brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged units in stock nearly four whole years after the Apple Watch Series 7's original release, so there's really no telling when this deal will actually end. The only half-decent Amazon alternative I've been able to find, mind you, has a 41mm cellular-enabled Apple Watch Series 7 model with a gold stainless steel case and abyss blue sport band listed at a few bucks under Woot... in "renewed" condition, which should tell you everything you need to know about the appeal of this amazing new offer. Keep in mind that the Apple Watch Series 7 is still supported by the latest watchOS version, and that's likely to remain true for another year or so. From a hardware perspective, you're looking at a remarkably "current" device here too, at least as far as screen quality and even processing power are concerned. Obviously, the Series 8, Series 9, and Series 10 are all better, but at a monumental $530 discount from an original list price of $750, this thing can be a very smart buy as well.

Tesla Adds iPhone Lock Screen Charging Updates and Child Detection Feature
Tesla's latest iOS update brings a highly requested feature to iPhone users: real-time Supercharging updates directly on the lock screen. According to Not a Tesla App, the update utilises Apple's Live Activities capability, which allows supported apps to deliver live status updates without unlocking the phone. This new feature lets Tesla owners monitor key Supercharging metrics at a glance, including time remaining, charge percentage, estimated cost, charging speed, and energy added. It offers added convenience and helps users avoid idle fees by notifying them when it's time to move the vehicle. However, the feature currently only applies to Tesla's Supercharger stations and does not support home or third-party charging. Tesla has added support for Live Activities on iOS with app update 4.45.0. If you're going to Supercharge tonight, send us a screenshot! Let us know if you notice any undocumented features as — Not a Tesla App (@NotATeslaApp) May 27, 2025 Available now through Tesla app version 4.45.0, this is one of the app's most notable enhancements since Tesla enabled Apple Watch digital key support late last year. Alongside the iOS upgrade, Tesla is also launching a 'Child Left Alone' detection feature for select vehicles. The system uses in-cabin radar to sense if a child has been left unattended. Initially rolling out in Europe for the updated Model 3 (mid-2023 and later), the feature represents a significant step forward in vehicle safety. It will notify the owner if a child is detected after exiting the car. Tesla's radar system, which currently detects passengers in front seats without relying on traditional seat sensors, is now extending its reach to monitor the back seat. The company says broader rollout to additional models and markets is expected 'later.' These updates reflect Tesla's ongoing commitment to improving both user experience and safety through software innovation.
