New & Noteworthy Releases
Steelcase SILQ Office Chair
From Steelcase, maker of the popular Leap office chair comes your new workplace grail: SILQ, a carbon fiber office chair made from just 30 parts. Though pricing has yet to be announced, Steelcase told Fast Co. Design that the SILQ will cost more than $3,000, while a less technical version will cost $970 (still more than most office chairs). — Jack Seemer
Bell & Ross V2-94 Heritage
Bell & Ross’s vintage-inspired chronograph was well-received when it debuted at Baselworld in 2017, and now the brand is giving the watch an updated dial colorway. In Heritage guise, the V2-94 gets hands and hour markers adorned with tan-colored Super-LumiNova, as well as a 100M depth-rating denoted at six o’clock in eye-popping red. The changes are overall minimal, but the result is an excellent recreation of a vintage tool watch dial. — Andrew Connor
Google Clips Camera
Google revealed the Clips — a tiny wireless camera designed for parents who want to take candid photos of their kids and pets — several months ago alongside the Google Pixel 2, Google Home Max and Pixel Buds. But pre-orders for the unique device finally opened up just this weekend. Unfortunately, it’s already “out of stock,” though you can join a waitlist on Google’s website. You can find a rundown of everything the camera can do here.

Gregory Optic 48
The brand that’s best known for its ultralight backpacking and trekking packs unveiled a new superstar, the Optic 48.

Fit water bottles in the side pockets on the left and right for easy access during the day, plus store your favorite snacks in the zippered hip belt pockets, or the front stretch mesh pocket. Offered in a blue or grey, and a 48 or 58L, this new pack is here to keep your back dry during even the toughest trail conditions. — Meg Lappe
Wilson Black Edition Tennis Rackets
Following the success of the Black Edition product line, Wilson launches three models of rackets, including the Ultra, Blade and Burn. Each contains countervail technology, designed to help reduce muscle fatigue and shorten recovery time. If you’re looking to seriously up your game, consider investing (all your money) in the Roger Federer Historic 20th Grand Slam Platinum Edition racket package for a cool $20,006. You’ll have to shop fast since Wilson only produced 20 of the limited edition rackets. In addition to the racket that will have you serving aces, you’ll receive a tennis ball signed by Federer, too. Match points are no longer intimidating. — Meg Lappe

About the Klipsch R-15PMs, SoundReview wrote: “Why would you not buy speakers with inbuilt phono pre-amp, 50W per channel output capacity, it sounds like a reference speaker and costs only $499?”… but now that $499 price has been slashed to $259 — that’s basically half off. — Tucker Bowe
