Today in Gear: What’s New, Notable and Releasing Now

It’s that time of year again. No, we’re not talking about the holiday season (though, admittedly, that’s exciting stuff as well), it’s time for your timeline to be inundated with Spotify’s “Wrapped” collections. Basically outlining what a Spotify user has listened to on the platform in the last 365 days, it’s a fun and shareable way to show off your most-loved tracks and most-listened to artists, genres, songs and podcasts of the last year. This year, Spotify is adding a few new features to roster, like a “2021: The Movie” gimmick that uses your most-listened songs to score various scenes in a mock movie, an “Audio Aura” that shows colors based on your music’s mood and a take on “Two Truth’s and a Lie.” That said, don’t worry if you’re not an avid Spotify listener, there’s plenty of gear to check up on today. From Hamilton’s resurrection of the first-ever digital watch (in collaboration with the latest chapter of The Matrix to the literal Lego furniture for your house, this is Today in Gear.

The portable Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute goes from crevice to carpet with ease.

Dyson

When it comes to raw cleaning power, the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute is powered by (as the name suggests) a Dyson V10 digital motor and 14 cyclones; the end result is a consistent suction that can pull up even microscopic particles like bacteria or pollen. This dirt and debris passes through a whole-machine, fully-sealed filtration system for a truly deep clean anywhere you use it.

Bring out your inner child with this literal wooden Lego furniture for your home.

Nordic Nest

In collaboration with Room Copenhagen, Lego has crafted literal wooden furniture for your real-life house. The range of picture frames, wall hangers, book racks, and desk drawers is made from FSC-certified Red Oak in two separate finishes. We understand the concept does sound a bit childish at first, but when you actually look at the products incorporated into a space, there’s no denying the design blends Lego’s playful nature into something that’s strikingly upscale. (And yes, certain items can stack).

Hamilton resurrects the first-ever digital watch in collaboration with the latest chapter of “The Matrix”.

Hamilton

Launched in 1970, the original Hamilton Pulsar was hailed as the first-ever digital wristwatch, using quartz movement but relying on a digital display. A technological revolution on its own, Hamilton revived the 1972 Pulsar P2 in the PSR in 2020. Now it’s launching the PSR MTX to celebrate another tech-culture icon: The Matrix. Tied to The Matrix Resurrections, the PSR MTX has a black PVD-coated steel case and bracelet, a green digital display and features the franchise’s iconic “digital rain” motif on the case back.

Vasque builds on the legacy of the Sundowner to shape the new Sunsetter boot.

Vasque

An old school hiking classic in its own right, Vasque’s Sundowner boot has been iconic since 1984. Building on that legacy, Vasque has created the Sunsetter. This new boot uses more modern tech — Nature-Tex® waterproofing membrane, Vasque Micro Plus outsole, a lighter overall build — while keeping its eyes on its predecessor’s classic aesthetics. If you love the Sundowner’s full leather upper, you’ll be happy to see it return on the Sunsetter.
