Essential gizmos to keep you connected and safe
Pebble Watch
Pebble is a watch that connects to iPhones and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, and sends out alerts for incoming calls, emails and SMSes, Facebook messages, tweets... Cyclists can strap on a Pebble and, using their smartphone GPS, keep track of speed and distance travelled. Once it is synced to your phone, you can view all your phone data on Pebble, minimising the need to check your phone often. It has an outdoor-readable epaper display. It starts shipping in the US from this April, and is available in five colours.
Price: $150
