Best part is, they go well with just about any shirt combo. I also like how Quince has such a clean and intuitive website.

Snap will show off its AR specs at a September 16th event. More on that coming up, but first, to say it's been a long road to the Osmo Pocket 4P is an understatement. It first leaked in March, was officially teased in May, then fully launched in China in June while Europe and the US remained under embargo.
DJI offered a few more glimpses before going quiet again, but the official global launch is finally happening today. There's just one catch. Thanks to government restrictions on DJI products, no retailer in the US can officially sell it. It's not impossible to get a hold of one if you really want it, but the question is, do you? Let Engadget's James True help you with that. Head over to engadget.com and check out our full review of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P.
And when pondering the purchase of a wearable, form factor is one of the main considerations. Does a watch or a ring make more sense for you? A new option from Casio lets you have your wearable cake and eat it too. Kind of. Casio has been selling ring watches for a while, including an adorable G-Shock model, and they're a very clever idea for accessories fans. While the devices are worn on your finger, they look exactly like a miniature version of a Casio digital watch, complete with functional clock face, stopwatch, and calendar. Now, the company appears to be adding smart ring functionality to its newest model. Its sensor can track heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep, and body temperature. The smart ring watch will also count steps and estimate calorie burn. It promises battery life of about four to six days.

Snap is about to start selling its stand-alone augmented reality glasses to the public. So, of course, it's holding an event to explain what specs are all about. It takes place in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. Eastern time on September 16th. You'll be able to watch a live stream if you wish. The event will include the first in-depth look at specs. Snap says CEO Evan Spiegel will demonstrate how they bring AI assistance, work tools, entertainment, and shared experiences into the world around us, helping people create, connect, learn, and get things done while staying present. The glasses cost a not insignificant $2,195.
Snap opened spec pre-orders last month, and they're expected to ship in the US, UK, and France this fall. We'll surely find out the exact timing at this event. Specs will be available in two sizes, 47mm and a wider 52mm. Snap says the battery supports up to four hours of quote, mixed use unquote. The specs have a built-in browser and AI assistance by way of Snap's partners, OpenAI and Google. There will be hundreds of AR lenses, i.e. apps, available, including games. The strikingly thick arms of the specs house two Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with one handling computer vision and the other, AR apps.
