Slide Nr 1
This Valentine’s Day, give your loved one (or yourself!) the gift of class and connectivity. From fashionable fitness trackers to smart rings, looking good has never been so, well, Bluetooth capable.
Vinci Ring Fidget Spinner – Love ‘em or hate ‘em, fidget spinners are a useful and necessary tool for many people, helping them to remain grounded, manage anxiety or release excess energy. But they’re kind of big and ugly, right? Imagine an attractive and discreet piece of jewellery that doubles as a fidget spinner, which can be worn as a ring, a necklace or even carried as a keychain and comes in brass, titanium or gold. The design keeps your hands occupied wherever you go, and allows you to instantly and subtly fidget whenever the need arises.
Night Ice LED Crystal Earrings – By now you’ve seen a lot of LED lights in your life, even in the world of fashion (think: Claire Danes at the 2016 Met Gala), but have you tried wearing them as a pair of earrings? This set of LED crystal earrings will help you shine bright as the modern geek fashionista you truly are.
Bellafit Fitness Tracking Jewellery – Been wearing fitness trackers to monitor your health and get you moving, but don’t like the utilitarian aesthetic? Now, you can keep up with your fitness levels AND your style all at the same time. Beautifully made with a geometric design, the Bellafit bangle simply clasps around your fitness band, lending it protection and sophistication. Choose from 3 different sizes to fit the brand and model of tracker you already own, from Fitbit to Garmin vivosmart, Sony SmartBand and more.
Ringly Smart Ring – Fishing your smartphone out of your purse or fumbling with it in an important meeting is never ideal. Ever wished there was a better, more convenient and subtle way to receive your texts, phone calls, emails, reminders and other notifications? Ringly is a stylish solution that will help you stay connected to your notifications in a fashionable way. Using the partner Smartphone app, you can set custom colours and vibration patterns to deliver to different notifications, keeping you clued in to your important alerts – quite literally without lifting a finger.
The LEAF Fitness Tracker Jewellery by Bellabeat – An alternative to plain and practical fitness bands, this eye-catching piece of smart jewellery – designed for women – can analyse your daily routine and keep you informed about your body and health, as well as track your menstrual cycle and function as a smart alarm to wake you gently every morning. Wear it as a necklace, a bracelet or clip it to your clothing for a stylish accent.
Token Smart Connected Ring – Imagine starting your car without keys! With Token, you can move seamlessly through your everyday activities without ever having to stop and search for keys or passwords. Connecting with most devices used in your daily routine, from your car to your laptop and contactless payment methods, this ring can streamline your life, leaving more time for the things you enjoy.
HELIX CUFF Wearable Wireless Headphones – The Helix Cuff solves the problem of dealing with tangled and easy-to-lose wireless earbuds by keeping them stashed away in a simple, sleek cuff on your wrist. Available in a variety of designs for men and women, these clever ‘buds give you an amazing sound experience with a serious style (and simplicity) factor.
ŌURA Ring-Sized Wellness Computer – Amazingly, this little device enables you to learn how your lifestyle choices affect your sleep, and how the quality of your sleep affects your ability to perform. Matching seamlessly with any wardrobe, the ring measures your sleep along dimensions such as heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature and movement, while also monitoring your activity during waking hours, all to form a complete picture of your overall health.
Arc Pendant Smart Body Monitor – Using 360-degree haptic nodes, a heart rate monitor and a built-in high-definition microphone, the Arc Pendant tracks your steps, calories, movement and even posture, as well as heart rate, to give you an overview of how your body is doing. In fact, you can customise it so that the LED rings change according to your heart rate to keep you informed. What’s more, you can control smart devices in your home using the accompanying app, and even get turn-by-turn directions delivered to you via your pendant’s vibrations. Not yet available on the market, this is one to keep an eye on.
Lumo Lift – Wear it as a piece of jewellery or keep it under your clothes – either way, Lumo Lift is a modern posture coach you can use every day. Turn on Posture Alert to be mindful of when you’re in poor posture for longer stretches throughout the day. In a few years, Older You will thank you.
