You are all packed to fly. But having to lug separate USB chargers for Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia is weighing you down.

Try taking along the Energea Travel World 6.8 instead. This four-port wall charger kit uses pins for the United States but comes with three power plug adapters for use in most countries.

The wall charger can charge up to two tablets and two smartphones at the same time. A bundled travel pouch lets you store the charger and adapters neatly in place. Cables are not included.


Ninebot One E+

ELECTRIC UNICYCLE

$1,119, available at www.falconpev.com.sg

You have probably seen electric bicycles, but how about an electric unicycle? The Ninebot One E+ is a single-wheel personal electric vehicle that is self-balancing.

It has a range of up to 35km and a top speed of 22kmh. It takes two hours to charge fully.

Durable yet light, its magnesium alloy frame weighs only 12.8kg, but is built to transport a rider weighing up to 110kg.


Garmin Forerunner 225

RUNNING WATCH

$419

If you hate using a chest strap heart-rate monitor, Garmin's new Forerunner 225 might be for you.

It is Garmin's first Global Positioning System running watch with a wrist-based heart-rate monitor. The Forerunner 225 has an optical sensor that measures your heart rate by shining a light into your skin and measuring the amount of light returned. The device can capture fitness data even when you are running indoors, and doubles as a fitness tracker by counting the steps taken and calculating the calories burnt.

CAMERA

$1,399, available from July 16

The high-speed signal processing and memory chip work together to provide super-slow-motion video capture of up to 960 frames per second, ultra high-definition video recording and shutter speeds of up to 1/32,000 second.

The pocket-sized camera uses a 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens with a tiltable 3-inch display and built-in electronic viewfinder.

This is not only a hi-res digital audio player, but also a USB digital-to-analogue convertor when linked to a computer.

It comes in a brushed aluminium alloy casing with a 2.4-inch high-definition display. Its dual card slots support two 128GB microSD cards, so you can store more hi-res compilations.

APPLE WATCH ACCESSORY
