Happy New Year! Let’s try to ignore the scary realisation that it’s getting closer to 2020 than 2010, and see what’s in store tech-wise for the start of spring. Whether you’ve decided it’s time for a ‘New Year, New You’ and want to stick to those resolutions you made (for once), or if you just want to treat yourself, there’s some great gizmos to ponder over. To get you revved up for the new year ahead, have a look at some of the latest gadgets that can help you shape up for 2018.

Fitbit Charge 2 Heart Rate and Fitness Tracking Wristband
The invention of the Fitbit has revolutionised the way we exercise; it’s certainly a millennial way to help improve fitness, especially as it looks more like a sleek accessory than an exercising tool. This smart wristband has more to it than it seems; just tap on the small screen to see a summary of your workout, whether you’re leaving the house at the crack of dawn for a morning jog, hitting the gym for a hardcore workout, or simply wanting to keep up-to-date with how many steps you’ve taken in the day.

The Fitbit also keeps you updated with your heart rate, distance and how many calories you’ve burned, as well as calls, texts and calendar alerts. And with a battery life of up to 5 days, it’ll be even easier for you to stay on the go! If you’re in need of some motivation, the Fitbit is definitely a recom-mended gadget; it offers an easy-access to keeping track of your fitness, weight and sleep, all within a small wristband. Priced at £109.99, the tracking wristband will help you get the routine you want.

Sunglasses Action Camera
If you want to feel like you’re in a spy movie – and who doesn’t? – then get the Ethan Hunt feel with the perfect spy-gadget accessory, Sunglasses Action Camera. Its deceptive appearance of a normal pair of sporty sunglasses is only to distract from the hidden camera lens built in! When you really want to capture the mom-ent and ensure you can also get great photo quality, the £29.99 sunglasses are for you.

As well as taking photos, it also records videos, and the lens is small enough that it doesn’t take away from the ‘cool secret-super-agent’ look you might be going for. It’s also a great gizmo for sports activities, letting you take snapshots of some of your greatest adrenaline rushes, and with its SD card, these sunglasses can hold up to 32GB of memory. If you want to wear these whilst quad biking, just know you get up to an hour of recording time!
