Black-on-black watches can look sharp, but they often sacrifice readability to get there.

Special-edition cameras create an awkward buying decision. You can spend extra for something rarer and more distinctive, only to discover that it takes exactly the same photographs as the standard model.

Most pocket knives force the same everyday-carry compromise.

Portable monitors should make work and travel easier. Instead, many create a small cable kit: one lead for video, another for power, perhaps an adapter, and a search for a free outlet. That is manageable at a desk, but much less appealing in a hotel room, meeting space, coffee shop, or temporary home office. Price:

The name Speedtimer usually makes buyers think of a chronograph. Seiko has built much of the modern Speedtimer identity around elapsed-time measurement, so models without chronograph pushers or subdials need another reason to make sense.

Once you’ve bought a few EDC knives, finding the next one can become harder rather than easier.

At $1,700, the Seiko Presage HCC007 enters a part of the market where buyers can reasonably expect sapphire crystal, solid mechanical performance, and polished finishing.
