SPARBAR PRO

If you want to sharpen your boxing skills – especially your hand and head movement – then the Sparbar Pro is for you. Hit it and the bar rotates, coming back at you – so you always have to have your guard up. Use this and you’ll be as quick as Kostya Tszyu in a Ferrari. $630, sparbar.co.uk

SAMSUNG GEAR ICONX

Samsung’s Gear IconX is a set of wireless buds with a difference. Pair them with your phone or device using Bluetooth, and you can not only listen to tunes but, thanks to the built-in heart-rate monitors, track your running activity. There’s even 4GB of storage. $279, samsung.com/au

GARMIN INDEX SMART SCALE

The Garmin Index smart scale will do much more than tell you how many pies you’ve been scoffing – it’ll give you figures such as fat and bone mass. It’ll also tell you how healthy your heart is by measuring BPM, and keep you on track towards your goal weight. Impressive. $199, garmin.com
