Welcome to Extraordinary Tech 2018. Join Buchanan, Joelle, Mike and myself on our adventures as we test out some of the best tech available in 2018. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we’ll be showcasing devices that came with us on a cross-country trip this summer, ranging from an outdoor speaker that will change the way you think of sound to a smartwatch that offers the best fitness features at an affordable price. Along the way, we’ll be hosting giveaways of some of the tech featured in this series, so stay tuned!
In the final trip of Extraordinary Tech, we set foot on the sunny beaches and rocky mountainside of Catalina, CA. From its crystal clear waters to the Mediterranean vibes of our accommodations, Catalina screamed paradise. It was the perfect location to test the adventure, travel, and home tech we brought to the island.
For the Behind the Scenes, check out Joelle’s video featured above!
But without further ado, here’s a brief look at all the tech we had the pleasure of checking out:
