Tech Tools: Glance smart wall clock – $199

Forget smartwatches: you need a smart clock in your life. Or at least that is what the company behind Glance, a smart wall clock, believes. The high-tech timepiece will connect to all your wearables and smart home devices, displaying the information you need on its fabric surface. You can get everything from weather to your calendar notifications and incoming calls on Glance, and when it’s dormant it looks just like any other timepiece. There is the potential for other apps to work with the clock too, so it could quickly become the hub for your household – and the reason why you put your phone down.
