Today in Gear: Your Gear World Briefing

Withings is preparing to release the first FDA-approved ‘health station’ of its kind. The ‘Body Scan Connected Health Station’ is essentially a $400 smart scale. However, once you stand on it, it’s going to tell you more than just your weight. The device will detect atrial fibrillation through a six-lead ECG, while also analyzing your vascular age, nerve activity and ‘segmented body composition.’ On top of that, it can even gauge and monitor your foot sweat to screen for early signs of neuropathy. The device was first unveiled at CES 2022, and fans can find more information about it here.

Today we’re taking a look at a waterproof backpack, stylish fish spatula and the Autodromo watch brand. This is Today in Gear.

The Wells: One of The James Brand’s Biggest Knife Drops of the Year (So Far)

The James Brand

Introducing The James Brand’s very first back flipper: The Wells. The piece features a 2.9” Wharncliffe blade in MagnaCut steel, plus 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum scales down the handle and a wire pocket clip. Its button lock and flipper make it easy to operate with one hand, while caged, and stainless steel bearings ensure the knife’s longevity. Built to quickly turn first-timers into pros, the Wells is available in an anodized all-black or anodized aluminum finish.

This Backpack is Completely Submersible

KUIU

The DeltaStorm 2200 ($399) is a fully submersible backpack made from a combination of different durable TPU-coated fabrics. Its welded construction, plus air-and-watertight zippers, help ensure this backpack remains 100 percent waterproof. It’s designed for hunts on the water, and features two primary compartments for gear and organization. Sure to sell out soon, this is the pack you’ve been looking for.

You Need a Fish Spatula

Material

If you’ve never tested a fish spatula, it’s your lucky day. Material just launched its own version, and it’s fair to say that this is the only fish spatula you’ll ever need. The piece costs $25, and is available in either a silver or golden-hued stainless steel. Designed to help you lift and flip fish — or when cooking other things like fresh-baked cookies or corn cakes — the slotted spatula allows excess oil to flow right through, to make frying easy.

The Spice You Never Would Have Known You Needed

The Spice House

The Spice House is a great place to explore high-quality spices. With everything from niche releases to kitchen staples, the company makes it easy to shop by recipe, flavor preference or use case. Now, its newest spice blend ‘Sandwich Hero’ ($10) gives fans a ‘nostalgic’ way to top off every sub. Created to meld a garlic punch beside the sweetness of fennel and other zesty herbs, the blend evokes the classic aromas that waft up from your favorite upscale Italian deli.

Autodromo: Sporty, Affordable Watches

Autodromo

Autodromo first launched in 2022. Now, the brand has been confirmed as the official watch partner of the Historic Festival 41 at Lime Rock. One of the brand’s major standouts, the Prototipo Chronograph ($595), is a perfect counterpart for the competition. Designed with inspiration drawn from the vintage racing chronographs that were popular in the late 1960s and 1970s, the watch features a Seiko VK63 chronograph hybrid mecaquartz movement.
