TECH GIFTS THAT ARE TRENDING
Fitness devices are absolutely trending, and I have found a new wearable that would makes for brilliant gift for the runner in in your life. It's TUNE, a biomechanics lab in your running shoe! The wearable device takes all kinds of data and stats about your running form and provides personalized fitness plans for all levels of runners. So how it works is that TUNE monitors your feet from the moment you start running, measuring stance time, gait cycle time, heel strike and symmetry, it takes all that data and creates a personalized fitness plan that you follow so that you can run better and avoid injury. This is an industry first, no other wearable device out there creates a specific running plan to meet your specific technical needs. TUNE provides the support you need to run better and with more consistent results, and you can get for $200. Use the code "holiday" to get a 10% discount on the shopping cart total. It expires on Dec 21.For more information, visit www.store.kinematix.pt
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE CAN SAVE SOME MONEY ON HOT TECH DEVICES
Smartphones are still really one of the hottest tech items that people want. My recommendation is that when giving a smartphone this holiday, “unlocked” or no contract is the way to go. If you are looking an incredible value then look no further than the Honor 8. It’s a mid-range device equipped with all the hottest new smartphone features including a powerful dual lens 12 megapixel camera. Everybody wants to take great photos, and a dual-lens helps you do that by capturing three times more light to achieve vivid colors and greater detail. The Honor 8 is just as gorgeous as the pictures it takes. A 15-layer design reflects light for an eye-catching effect under a smooth, glass finish [hold back of phone up to light]. It really stands out from the crowd. Another feature we love is the fingerprint sensor, which isn’t just for security. You can actually customize the fingerprint sensor and integrated Smart Key to instantly access favorite apps or features, even when your phone is locked. The Honor 8 is a fantastic deal at just $299.99 this holiday, through BestBuy, Amazon, Newegg, and more. For more information, visit www.hihonor.com
