Fitness Trackers Are The Talk About Town – Here’s How You Get Yours For 500 Bucks

Some of us are gadget lovers, plain and simple. There's no judgement here, some things are just so nifty it would be silly not to buy them. These two are top class.

What’s the best thing about living a healthy lifestyle complete with regular exercise, a balanced diet and the odd yoga session?

Telling everyone all about it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – duh! We joke, of course, there’s all that feeling great and looking like a million bucks as well.

For those who like to keep track of all their blood, sweat and tears it doesn’t get much better than the Smart Watch Fitness Activity Tracker Smartband Wristband. Down from R999 to R499 (free delivery of course) this fantastic fitness tracker comes in either black, blue or orange and is compatible with both Android and iOS.

Here’s what will be tracked by your funky new bluetooth watch:

  • Count steps, distance and calories
  • Can monitor sleep to report on sleep quality
  • In-call reminder, sedentary reminder, drinking reminder, wake up alarm
  • Water-resistant up to 3m
  • Message reminder
  • Remote camera
  • Vibration alarm clock
  • Can be used a watch

That’s right, all those features and it even doubles as a watch – the wonders of technology.

You can find out all the details HERE but fear not, it does come with an instruction manual.

If that doesn’t make you feel quite James Bond enough then hold up for a second, you might need to get your mittens on a Spy Video Camera Pen. The best part – it’s just R299 (40% off, free delivery) and you’re on your way to being a secret agent man.

Say what now? It’s true, it’s a pen with a camera that records video and sound. Here’s your list of need-to-knows because I’m pretty sure you’re intrigued…

  • The item conceals a camcorder near the top that records video and sound
  • Quick way to record lectures or business meetings
  • The pen itself works great
  • Video and sound quality on the play back are high quality

  • Easy to use ‘one touch’ record button
