Some of the most interesting products aren’t necessarily the ones reinventing an entire category. Sometimes they’re taking something familiar and making it more useful, more entertaining, or simply better looking.
This edition of RESEVVOR Finds covers five discoveries across fitness, recovery, gaming, and entertaining. Some are brand-new launches, while others are products that deserve a closer look.
X-Arcade Arcade2TV Pinball FX Edition — $449 preorder, $549 with pedestal
Pinball without the cabinet. A full-size pinball machine can be a spectacular addition to a game room. It also requires a substantial amount of space and, often, several thousand dollars.
X-Arcade’s new Pinball FX Edition takes a different approach. Rather than building another complete cabinet, it combines physical pinball controls with digital gaming: a spring-loaded plunger, two-stage flipper buttons, solenoid feedback, and four haptic shakers designed to recreate some of the physical sensations of playing pinball.
The controller works with compatible gaming setups, including PC, consoles with an adapter, and supported VR experiences such as Pinball FX VR. It isn’t a standalone gaming console, and additional hardware is required.
At $449 during preorder, or $549 with a pedestal, it’s a potentially interesting middle ground between playing virtual pinball with a conventional controller and dedicating an entire corner of a room to a traditional machine. The preorder price is $50 off X-Arcade’s listed prices for either configuration, and shipping is expected between January and March 2027.
Why it’s on our radar: the idea of bringing physical arcade controls into digital and immersive gaming is compelling, particularly when space is limited. Whether the tactile experience delivers on its promise will be the real test.

Jordan Strength — bumper plates from $50
When sneaker culture meets the home gym. There’s no shortage of black bumper plates, weight racks, and dumbbells on the market. Jordan Brand is betting that strength equipment can have a little more personality.
Its new strength collection with Nike Strength brings the brand’s familiar design language to home and commercial training equipment, with bumper plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, a bench, and a half rack.
Among the most interesting pieces are interlocking bumper plates, designed to lock together rather than shift around when stacked. The collection also borrows from Jordan’s footwear heritage, with black, cement gray, and Chicago red finishes and elephant-print details.
The lineup stretches from relatively accessible plates and accessories to larger pieces, including a half rack priced at $1,750. It launched October 13 at Nike Strength and select Dick’s Sporting Goods stores.
Why it’s on our radar: strength equipment has increasingly become part of how people design their spaces. Jordan’s entry into the category suggests that the visual identity of a home gym may matter almost as much as what’s on the training program. The real question is how its equipment holds up against established strength brands when performance, durability, and pricing enter the conversation.

Gozney M.O.P. — $69.99
A better way to clean a pizza oven? Not every interesting product needs a screen, an app, or an elaborate collection of features. Gozney’s new M.O.P. stone-cleaning tool is a good example.
Designed for maintaining pizza-oven cooking surfaces, it combines a stainless-steel scraper with a removable, heat-resistant cleaning head. The bristle-free design eliminates the loose metal-bristle concern associated with some traditional grill brushes. The cleaning head is replaceable, with replacements available for $29.99.
At $69.99, it isn’t necessarily an impulse purchase for someone who only occasionally makes pizza. But for people regularly using high-temperature ovens, thoughtful maintenance equipment can make the overall experience considerably easier.
Why it’s on our radar: it’s a practical accessory that addresses a specific ownership frustration. Sometimes the best upgrade isn’t another piece of cooking equipment. It’s something that makes the equipment you already own easier to enjoy.

QALO SL-1 Smart Band — $199.95
Another take on screenless recovery tracking. Wearable technology is increasingly moving in two directions: devices with more screens and features, and devices that try to disappear into daily life. QALO’s SL-1 Smart Band belongs firmly in the second group.
Launched in late September, the screenless wearable tracks health and activity information including heart rate, heart-rate variability, sleep, and recovery-related metrics. It promises more than 12 days of battery life and doesn’t require a monthly subscription for its core tracking features.
But the more interesting idea may be how it fits alongside QALO’s SR-2 smart ring. Both devices use the same app, giving wearers the option to use a band or a ring depending on their activities and preferences. That flexibility makes particular sense for people who lift weights, use kettlebells, or otherwise find wearing a ring uncomfortable during training.
At $199.95, the SL-1 enters an increasingly competitive market for screenless health tracking.
Why it’s on our radar: the ability to move between wearable formats without moving between entirely different health-tracking platforms is an appealing idea. We’re interested in how well QALO executes it, particularly when it comes to sensor accuracy, app insights, and long-term reliability.
SMEG Multi-Use Grill — $399.95
Countertop equipment worth leaving out. Countertop grills are usually sold on convenience. SMEG’s new Multi-Use Grill makes a stronger case for appearance.
The MGF01 combines the brand’s retro-inspired styling with three cooking configurations. It can operate as a conventional contact grill, open into a full BBQ-style cooking surface, or work as an oven with adjustable plate height for foods that benefit from less direct pressure. Interchangeable plates, including waffle plates, and presets such as panini expand the possibilities.
It’s a versatile proposition, particularly for kitchens where counter space is limited and appliances need to justify their footprint. But at $399.95 at US retailers, the SMEG sits firmly in premium countertop-appliance territory, and some colors are already selling out. Its appearance may help justify leaving it on display. Whether its cooking performance justifies the price is another question.
Why it’s on our radar: more kitchen equipment is being designed to function as part of the room rather than something to hide in a cabinet. SMEG continues to embrace that idea, combining everyday utility with a distinctive visual identity.

The RESEVVOR Take
A few themes connect this week’s finds.
Equipment is becoming more adaptable. X-Arcade brings physical controls to digital gaming, while QALO explores a wearable ecosystem that works across multiple device formats.
Design continues to influence traditionally functional categories. Jordan is bringing its visual identity to strength equipment, and SMEG is turning another everyday kitchen appliance into something intended to be seen.
And sometimes, the most compelling innovations are relatively small. Gozney’s cleaning tool isn’t going to revolutionize outdoor cooking, but it might make an existing setup more enjoyable to use.
That’s what we’re looking for with RESEVVOR Finds: equipment and ideas that make free time better, whether through meaningful technology, thoughtful design, or genuinely useful improvements.
Keep watching. We’ll keep looking.
