Every week, there are plenty of new products emerging in the consumer tech realm. At times, it becomes impossible to cover all of them. Here, we pick the new products of the week and deliver them to you in bite-size format.
OmniDesk Wildwood+
From S$1,479; pre-order at OmniDesk, available in Sep 2021
Local gaming table maker OmniDesk has released a new series with the Wildwood+. All tabletops in this series has an 1-inch thickness – a 20 per cent increase over its current offerings – for better strength and durability.
They come with OmniStabilizers, which are reinforced steel bars for improved stability and reduced wobbliness. They also feature OmniAirStrips, which are precision-cut spacers underneath selected Wildwood+ tabletops for more flexibility and space to naturally expand and contract without stressing other parts of the tabletop. The Wildwood+ series will come in two models of Acacia+ and Pheasantwood.
Under Armour SportsMask Featherweight
S$29, available at Under Armour Store
As its name implies, Under Armour’s SportsMask Featherweight is 40 per cent lighter than its predecessor. But it is also cheaper at only S$29.
Yet, the SportsMask Featherweight is still made with a breathable knit fabric water-resistant outer layer, an open-cell foam middle layer that lets air through but not moisture in, and a ISO-Chill inner layer that feels cool to the touch. This is so you can exercise with the mask on but feels like not wearing one.
