PHILIPS OLED+
From £1,800, philips.co.ukPhilips and Bowers & Wilkins’ play-nice
partnership continues into another year, with
a TV which has the potential to put both
companies on top. The OLED+935 upgrades
the 934 that preceded it, bringing increased
picture smarts and a banging B&W 3.1.2 sound
system, with integrated Dolby Atmos upfirers
right there below the screen. It’s clearly a
design winner, sporting the expected minimal
bezels, an acoustically-neutral Kvadrat cloth-
covered speaker array, and Philips’ ever-present
Ambilight pulling off a nifty light show on your
wall. While there are the usual 55-inch and
65-inch varieties on offer, supplier LG’s newly
expanded panel offering means this also marks
the company’s initial entry into the 48-inch
OLED space, a great move for those whose
living rooms don’t require a map to navigate.

APPLE WATCH SE
From £269, apple.comThough the Series 3 somehow still clings onto
life by its fingertips, and the Series 6 gobbled
up most of the headlines from Apple’s
September launch event, it’s the Apple Watch
SE that has us most intrigued. This latest entry
into the Apple Watch canon gets the top-end
Retina screen in 44 and 40mm variants,
packed into the same recycled aluminium case
as the main event Watch. You do get a last-gen
(but still plenty nippy) processing package
based on Apple’s S5 silicon, and while it has
the always-on altimeter and all the movement
sensing of its brother, the health sensor only
monitors heart rate. Here’s the key, though:
those minor concessions mean it starts over
£100 below the Series 6, and it’s a huge
upgrade from the Series 3 at only £70 more.T3 SAYS: The affordable Apple Watch we’ve
