The Stuff Gadget Awards 2022: here are all the winners!

Over the coming days we’re bringing you all of our winners across a huge range of categories

Stuff Awards 2022 lead image

Hello and welcome to the Stuff Awards 2022 – here’s where we reward the best tech we’ve seen during the year with gongs that celebrate their status as the cream of the gadgety crop.

During November and early December we brought you all of our winners across a huge range of categories. And now we have revealed our top prize – Gadget of the Year, too! All our winners go into a special awards edition of Stuff magazine, which comes out just before Christmas on 22 December.

As last year, we selected a winner plus a highly recommended product. And then we give an honourable mention to anybody who’s made our shortlist.

Unlike others we don’t publicise our longlist or take money for entries – the winners are chosen by the team behind this website and Stuff magazine and are editorially independent of any commercial concerns.  

All the Stuff Gadget of the Year Winners for 2022!

Awards

Apps (2018)

Streaks (£4.99) Streaks is a nifty to-do list for forming good habits and worrying less about bad ones. Unlike traditional to-do managers and calendars, which often conflate what you have to do with what you want to, Streaks helps you prioritise tasks that could actually improve your wellbeing – whether its brushing your teeth, reading […]

Awards

Action camera/drone (2018)

DJI Mavic 2 Pro (£1,349) Drone-maker DJI is on a roll. If you’d asked us a few months ago to name our favourite flying camera, we’d have blurted out the words “Mavic Air” before you’d finished the sentence. Things have changed in a short space of time and it’s all down to this handsome aerial […]

Awards

System camera (2018)

Fuji X-T3 (£1349) Introducing the best APS-C camera on planet Earth. It’s a bold statement, we know, but stick with us. You see, rather than reinvent the wheel, Fuji taken every feature on the already outstanding X-T2 and incrementally upgraded it. The result is an all-round beast of a camera that manages to astound in […]

Awards

Mobile game (2018)

Oddmar (£4.99) And it’s high ho cartoon viking, anywhere you go now baby! We’ve had that song stuck in our head ever since we picked up Oddmar, the beautifully animated, endlessly charming mobile platformer about a rather lazy viking imbued with magical powers. Admittedly, it all sounds a bit odd – heck, the clue’s in […]

Mobile game (2018)
Awards

Smartwatch (2018)

Apple Watch Series 4 (£529) It’s taken Apple four attempts to find its smartwatch feet, but what you’re looking at is the best smartwatch in the world. With the Series 4 in particular, Apple has honed its fancy digital timepiece into a fully baked device that feels greater than the sum of its parts. Whether […]

Smartwatch (2018)
Awards

Cars (2018)

Jaguar I-Pace (£63,925) It’s with a sense of patriotic pride and Land of Hope and Glory emanating from the infotainment system, we can announce Jag’s electric whip takes top prize. As you would expect from a car company with racing pedigree, taking us from A to B was never going to be a dull, but […]

Cars (2018)
Awards

Gadget (2018)

Sonos Beam (£399) Fresh out of food-based projectiles and suffering from a collective loss of voice, the gadget of the year award looked like it was going to be decided by some sort of mute Royal Rumble, before one Stuffling used their notes app to remind us we should settle this like adults. Sadly with […]

Awards

Compact camera (2018)

Panasonic Lumix TZ200 (£629) The perfect travel compact should capture memories at a moment’s notice. It’s designed to be yanked out of your pocket and take the perfect holiday snap, flexible enough to get close to the action without a big bulky lens, and all while delivering better results than your smartphone. Easy then. Not […]

Awards

Headphones (2018)

Sony WH-1000XM3 Sony already had form for making some of the best active noise-cancelling headphones for relieving tortured ears, but somehow it’s created an even more compelling package with the WH-1000XM3’s. They’re Chesterfield sofa-comfortable, sound fantastic, and zap an even wider array of frequencies than Bose’s QC35 II. In fact, did Bose just get out-Bose’d? […]

Headphones (2018)
Awards

Fitness tracker (2018)

Fitness Tracker of the Year: Fitbit Charge 3 (£130) With smartwatches becoming commonplace, you may have been wondering whether dedicated fitness trackers were still worth your time. The Fitbit Charge 3 answers that with a resounding ‘yes.’ An easy-to-use workout companion that’s subtle and comfortable, the Charge 3 hits the sweet spot in terms of […]

Awards

Game (2018)

Red Dead Redemption 2 (£50) After some seriously heated debate involving raised voices, hollow threats, and the odd potato-based projectile, Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the game of the year title and to be frank, it’s one of the best games we’ve played this console generation. Rockstar’s sprawling Western captivated us from start-to-finish, with its […]

Awards

Gaming gadget (2018)

PS4 Pro (£350) Substantial hardware under the hood, including a rapid CPU, powerful graphics chip and bags of memory for game developers to play with, always made the PS4 Pro an enticing proposition, but now Sony’s supercharged console has really got into its stride thanks to the delicious choice of games. Sure, the Xbox One […]

Awards

Computer (2018)

Apple MacBook Pro (£1749) Windows’ advocates will be quick to point out the Apple MacBook Pro won’t win any value-for-money awards, but as an everyday laptop that’s portable, capable, and most importantly, desirable, it has few peers. The 2018 model might look like a cut and paste of the previous iteration, but it’s a notebook […]

Computer (2018)
Awards

Hi-Fi (2018)

Sonos Beam (£399) There’s no harm in admitting Sonos’ home cinema gear has always been a bit on the expensive side, but with the Beam, the brand has managed to create a top-notch wireless soundbar that doesn’t break the bank and has the added bonus of Alexa built-in. It sounds ace, looks slick, comes with […]
