Voting is officially open for the TechRadar Choice Awards 2025, offering readers the chance to crown the best in fitness and home technology from the past year. Tech enthusiasts can now cast their votes in a wide array of categories, directly influencing which products receive top honors in this prestigious annual event. The final winners will be announced starting Monday, October 20, 2025.
How the TechRadar Choice Awards Work
The TechRadar Choice Awards celebrate the most innovative and beloved tech products and services released between September 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. The awards feature over 90 categories in total, covering everything from smartphones and cameras to computing, gaming, TV, audio, and, prominently, fitness and home tech.
The winners are determined by a combination of public votes and the rankings of TechRadar’s expert judging panel. This ensures a balanced perspective, incorporating both widespread user satisfaction and critical expert analysis. An exception is the “Readers’ Choice Award,” which is decided entirely by public vote, highlighting the most popular tech of the year as chosen by consumers.
The Nomination and Shortlisting Process
Prior to the voting phase, the public had the opportunity to nominate their favorite brands and products for consideration. Nominations for the 2025 awards closed on August 8, 2025, with an extended deadline to August 22, 2025, allowing more products to be suggested. TechRadar’s editors then reviewed all nominations and leveraged their industry expertise to create the official shortlists for each category, typically featuring a maximum of 10 products per category.
