With every January comes the typical New Year’s resolutions that normally fizzle out before the end of the month, but if you’re eager, perhaps some of these gadgets can help you stand firm. Whether you’re looking to get fit, get back on that diet that probably went out the window during December, or simply invest in a new hobby, you can at least get the ball rolling with the latest gadgets for 2019.

Storm Glass

This intriguing-looking ornament isn’t just a pretty face; it’s also a weather forecast. Yes, this crystal ball of sorts will predict whether stormy clouds are ahead, or if you can look forward to a spot of sunshine.

The Storm Glass, rather aptly shaped like a raindrop, uses its clever crystals when reacting to pressure conditions to keep you updated on the weather. For instance, small crystals and cloudy glass mean thunder-storms are approach-ing, whereas clear glass means clear weather, and visible crystals are a sign of fog or humidity.

True, it might be considered slightly archaic compared to more modern technology (i.e. weather apps or simply watching the forecast on TV), but it’s still an undeniably clever invention that manages to carry an air of elegance.

The Storm Glass is both a classy addition to your garden, and a way of appreciating the old-fashioned things in life.

Available from menkind.co.uk at £25.99.

Smart Water Bottle

Scientifically speaking, the daily recommended amount of water is equivalent to over three and a half pints for men and under three pints for women. Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially if you’ve got a hectic day ahead.

With the Bellabeat Spring Smart Water Bottle, you’ll get helpful reminders to keep hydrated. Simply shake the bottle left-to-right to sync your data to the app, and you can get started.

This Smart Bottle will calculate your recommend-ed water intake based on your age, height, weight, activity, etc, ens-uring that it is tailored to your specific requirements.

It also keeps track of your water intake throughout the day, so you can check on your progress.

The Smart Water Bottle is available from John Lewis at £79.99.
