Sony SmartBand 2

FITNESS TRACKER

$198, available Sept 12

With an automatic sleep detection fuction, the SmartBand 2 gives you an idea of how well you are sleeping, and can be set to vibrate gently to wake you up at the best time during your sleep cycle. Plus, it gives vibrating notifications for incoming calls, messages and e-mails when paired with your Android or iOS smartphone.

This Android 5.0 smartphone has a 6.8-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Said to be optimised for one-hand use despite its size, the Phab Plus allows you to double-tap on the display to wake it up, or long-press anywhere on the display to take a picture. It has a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera to cater to your photography and selfie needs.

Skullcandy Strum

EARPHONES

$89.90, available this month

The Skullcandy Strum's earbud nozzle has a flexible construction that naturally aligns with the distinct angle of your ear canal for a custom fit.

The earbuds feature an angled and oval-shaped design for better comfort and noise isolation. Its hook-shaped exterior sits in the V-shape of the ear and resists tugging and pulling, so the earphones always stay in place.
