Fashion and tech aren't always such great bedfellows. That's why we love the Sony SmartEyeglass Attach – instead of being a new pair of tech specs, it's an add-on to your existing glasses, so you can get smart skills without letting an IT specialist decide how you look. A module containing a processor, sensors, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sits on your glasses' arm, with a small OLED display above your eye to show info. You get data like a heads-up display, so you can read emails, text messages, see who's calling, and the rest.
Withings Activité Pop
This takes most of the features from the premium Activité, packages them in a device that's £200 cheaper, then adds the word "Pop" on the end. With a monochrome design and PVD-coated case, it keeps the clean, simple look of the more expensive Activité but makes it more youthful, urban and better value. Your day's activity is measured on the sub-dial, so you can see it at a glance, and it doesn't swamp you with features: swimming, how many steps you've taken, run detection and basic sleep tracking are your lot. Sometimes less is more.
Altruis
This isn't just one piece, it's a whole range of jewellery. Every ring, necklace, bracelet and stone contains a circuit board, Bluetooth, vibration motor and sensors. It syncs to your smartphone and alerts you to what's new. Each piece looks decidedly non-techy, with materials including rose gold and platinum, and you can swap the stone between pieces, so it can be a ring one day and a necklace the next. The app is where the magic happens: choose which alerts you get, who can reach you and keywords to look out for. And you're all set. NB: dungarees are not included in the price.
Netatmo June
This could save your life. The June measures your exposure to the sun and pings info to your smartphone, giving you advice on how to proceed. Worried you're not using the right SPF? Think it's time to move into the shade? The June gives you peace of mind. Of course it is a pretty face too – it's cut to resemble a diamond, and comes in three colours: platinum, gold and gunmetal, with a choice of either a leather or silicon wristband. The perfect beach companion.
