Samsung GearFit 2
This new dust-and-water-resistant take on the wrist-bound activity tracker will be music to your ears, literally. The GearFit 2 holds your music in its little brain (500 songs or access to Spotify). Ditch the clunky phone and worries about losing it halfway up the ridge. With a curved screen and brilliant Super AMOLED customizable display, darkness or glare is never an issue and it only needs to visit the charging base every four days.

QardioBase Wireless Smart Scale
We don’t believe in making yourself a slave to the numbers, but we love the insight and integration you get from this Bluetooth/Wifi synched smart scale. Set goals, keep track of exercise, progress, body composition and more. We also seriously dig the chic look and the Pregnancy Mode which gets your head out of the losing game — it even greets you with a Smart Feedback “smile” instead of stark numbers.
