Hi, I’m Cam Secore.

If you want someone who holds back on the truth because they’re afraid of getting blacklisted by big tech companies, my blog isn’t for you.

If you want someone who gets paid big bucks to promote the hottest trend (regardless of whether or not it’s actually good), my blog isn’t for you.

If you want someone who doesn’t actually use the products they write about, my blog isn’t for you.

But…

If you want authentic reviews from someone who doesn’t have to answer to anyone, I made this blog for you.

Who am I?

I'm here to cut through the noise. In a world where tech reviewers are often swayed by sponsorship and brand pressures, I stand apart. I’m a 33-year-old entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for tech, unbound by conventional job constraints, and dedicated to delivering raw and authentic reviews.

The Journey So Far

In 2016, I had recently graduated Keene State College with a business degree and I wasn't sure what to do with my life. I had money saved, and no intentions of working for anyone. So started a blog called Power Moves. I wanted a place to brag about my new tech purchases. It turns out that having a tech blog was an easy justification for buying way more tech gear than I needed.

Fortunately, readers resonated with my in-depth analysis and authentic reviews and this blog went from a fun hobby to a sustainable business. My reviews are on my YouTube channel too! I've archived most content made before 2022 to keep this site current, but older reviews can be found in The Vault.

What’s Next for Power Moves?

I made my name for buying smart home tech and mesh routers, but I don't want to be bound to any specific category. I'll just continue to buy products that intrigue me, use them in my everyday life, and then provide my honest take to the internet.

Right now, I'm testing the Eight Sleep Pod 5 and its new blanket. The Pod 5 itself is pretty similar to last year's model, with the main difference being compatibility with this blanket. Each night, I love how cool it feels getting into bed, but it's not as the most comfortable experience as the night goes on. Having water tubes over you that are tided down the bottom of the pod is restrictive. Instead of spending $1,000, hot sleepers could just purchase a light weight comfortable or use the top sheet. I've got another month of testing before making a final call though.

I've also been wearing the new Whoop 5.0 for a couple of months, hoping for improvements over the 3.0 and 4.0 versions. Unfortunately, the hardware doesn't seem much better. I'm still seeing issues detecting quick heart rate spikes, similar to past experiences. The app has evolved over time, so I'll likely do another head-to-head comparison against the Apple Watch soon.

One recent purchase that’s been surprisingly great is the Rachio smart hose timer. My new house had a neglected underground sprinkler system that landscaping work made worse. I plan to fix it eventually, but in the meantime, I was stuck manually turning sprinklers on and off each morning. Now, I’ve got two tripod sprinklers ($40 each) and two Rachio timers ($50 each) that automate the watering. It's a simple setup that gets the job done with zero hassle. A review is coming soon!

And lastly, I know everyone’s been asking about the new Eero 7s. Honestly, I’m not sure if I've got another Eero post left in me. At this point, there's just not much more to say beyond sharing some real-world speed tests.
