Techie Gift Guide – Fashionable Wearables

It’s the word on everyone’s tongue – wearables. And this year has been the biggest year for the market yet! However, there has been difficulty with products either being too techie or not fashionable enough, or the other way around. Here are the best wearable technology that can swing both ways, impressing the tech snobs and the fashionistas.

1. Sona by Caeden
This bracelet can monitor your physical and mental stress levels by using a patented Resonance tracker. The wearable tracks heart rate ten times more accurately than other offerings and can also assess your active and passive activities throughout the day. The best thing about Sona is the way it looks. Out of all the wearables out there, it is the most elegantly designed with full grain leather and rose gold and gunmetal options.

2. Apple Watch
When the Apple Watch first made its splash in the beginning of this year, everyone wanted to test out its wearability. Not only is it beautiful, but it has the power to make you stand out. Apple put a lot of effort into creating a wearable with style in mind and this one does not disappoint.

3. Jawbone Up3
Long before the Apple Watch arrived; there was the Jawbone – fashion’s first popular wearable device. The next generation was the Up3 and fans of the brand took to the simplicity and style of the device. It also seamlessly connects to your Android or iPhone, tracking not only distance, calories and heartbeat, but also sleep patterns.

4. Mira
This tracking device is catered to woman and is meant to look discreet. It easily integrates into any outfit, and looks like any other delicate bracelet. This one tracks steps, elevation, distance, calories and comes in five metallic shades.

5. Vinaya Altruis Necklace
In the same category as Ringly, comes the Altruis Necklace from Vinaya. While the company also offers a bracelet and a ring, it is the necklace that makes a great statement! It is elegant and seems like a piece anyone you loves tech and fashion would be proud to wear.

6. Montblanc e-strap
Anyone who is hesitant to switch out their expensive statement watch for an electronic one, need look no further than Montblanc’s e-strap, which has solved that problem. The e-strap is a tracker that will strap onto any watch; all you have to do is simply look at the bottom of the strap to monitor incoming calls, read message and emails.

7. Fossil Q Dreamer
Never has Fossil been so relevant than now with its range of wearables. The Q Dreamer is a sleek, subtle bracelet with a leather strap that tracks calories and steps. However, it is more wearable than technology.

Brands have really been taking a bite out of tech apparel this year – what do you think of these fashion wearables?
