Corrections & Clarifications

We treat every number like a source: cited, linked, checkable. When we get something wrong, we fix it in the open and log it here — the way a serious newsroom does. Each entry says what we published, what is correct now, and why.

  1. Clarification
    Sqwod Verified prices and Value scores
    We saidPrices on 43 reviews dated from July 2026. Ten Thousand was listed as US-only shipping at $68.
    NowPrices re-checked at German retailers and brand stores on 17 Oct 2026. Where a price moved 15% or more, the 15% Value component moved one point per 5% of price change (capped at 8 points). 10 Sqwod Scores changed by 1 point: Apple Watch Series 11, COROS PACE 3, Fitbit Charge 6, Garmin Forerunner 165, HOKA Clifton 10, Nike Pegasus 42, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, Ultrahuman Ring AIR, Vuori Kore Short, Ten Thousand Interval Short. Ten Thousand now ships to Germany at €79.95.
    WhyA Value score should reflect the price a reader pays today. Big price moves since July made some Value bars out of date.

  2. Correction
    Sqwod Verified scores
    We saidOn 28 product reviews the Sqwod Assessment headline did not match the average of the criteria bars printed under it (largest gap: AG1, headline 72, bars averaging 59). On 5 reviews the Sqwod Score was more than a point off our published 45/40/15 blend.
    NowEvery Assessment headline now equals the average of its bars, and every Sqwod Score equals 45% crowd + 40% assessment + 15% value. 32 reviews changed; 26 Sqwod Scores moved, most by 1 to 3 points. Largest moves: AG1 66 to 61, Oura Ring Gen3 89 to 86, Whoop 4.0 85 to 82, Loop Quiet 2 82 to 85, Compex SP 8.0 75 to 73, ESN Ultrapure Creatine 85 to 87.
    WhyThe headline numbers were entered by hand and drifted from the criteria scores beside them. A reader who averages the bars should get the headline back. We fixed the numbers in one pass and the site build now fails if either rule is broken again.

    The State of Wearables 2026
    We saidGlobal wearables market — $83.5bn (2026)
    NowGlobal wearables market — $91.1bn (2026)
    WhyAn automated refresh briefly proposed GMInsights' 2025 figure ($83.5bn) as the 2026 topline, which then disagreed with the hero, takeaways, and body that all cite $91.1bn for 2026. Restored to the 2026 value.

  4. Clarification
    Recovery is eating the supplement aisle
    We saidSleep tech alone is already a multi-billion-dollar market growing double digits.
    NowSleep tech is one of wellness's fastest-growing subcategories (Spherical Insights).
    WhyThe original line implied a specific market size and growth rate that no single named source stated. Per our one-source rule, we replaced it with an attributed, qualitative statement.
