Reto ProductionKodak Snapic A1
The Kodak-branded Snapic A1 is a cheap, affordable 35mm film camera with undeniable nostalgic charm. It packs a 25mm f/9.5 lens with two manual focus settings and a fixed 1/100 second shutter speed. There’s a small OLED screen at the top that shows battery life and various shooting settings. It costs just $99, but you’ll need to supply your own film and AAA batteries. And it comes in two different color options: Ivory White or Rhino Grey.
Atelier Wen x RevolutionAtelier Wen × Revolution Ancestra Yáo
Atelier Wen links up with Revolution for this Middle Eastern take on the brand’s impressive Ancestra dress watch in honor of Dubai Watch Week. The updated model features an artisan-crafted dial made with translucent fumé grand feu enamel in a desert-inspired brown shade that took months to perfect, while the usual Chinese or Arabic applied indices have been swapped out for Eastern Arabics. The watch is available to purchase only until November 27, with each one being handmade to order.
Liquid DeathLiquid Death Sparkling Energy
Having already expanded from unflavored still and sparkling mountain water into flavored beverages and iced teas, Liquid Death is taking the next big leap into energy drinks. However, the typically crude brand’s approach, in this case, is surprisingly refreshing (pun intended). Not only was the drink’s recipe co-formulated by board-certified surgeon Dr. Darshan Shah, MD, but it is also designed to give you a hit of caffeine, less like a shock to your system and more like a regular cup of coffee. For reference, that means it contains just 100mg of caffeine, as opposed to 200 mg or more, which is typical. It is also sugar-free, is made from natural ingredients, has no artificial dyes and comes in four distinct flavors.
Stellantis2026 Fiat 500 Hybrid
Following the move to an all-electric powertrain for the iconic 500 compact, Fiat has added internal combustion to the lineup again with the new hybrid variant. In practice, the model gains a 1.0-liter engine good for just 64 horsepower, so 0-62 mph comes in 16.2 seconds. While far from quick, Fiat has at least introduced a variety of other updates, among which include the option of a manual transmission.
The Brown BuffaloThe Brown Buffalo Rolltop
This sleek but spacious and comfortable pack is quietly loaded with smart features to suit a variety of end users, from commuters and cyclists to waterfolk and hikers. Highlights include a weather-resistant, Fidlock-buckled rolltop closure (expandable from 23 liters to 28 liters), exterior lash points for attaching key accessories and oversized side slots that fit up to 32-ounce bottles. The Rolltop also offers a sneaky side-entry fleece-lined laptop sleeve, a vertical back access zipper, a top pocket for quick access to essentials and more.
