DIESEL ON FULL GUARD

Diesel’s first Android Wear smartwatch features a distinctly ‘sci-fi’ screen that goes dark in Do Not Disturb mode and, if you’re using the Activity Tracker, slowly fogs over when you’re not moving, to remind you to get your backside off the sofa. If that doesn’t appeal, then bear in mind this is just one of an incredible 300 different smartwatches that Fossil is building for fashion brands like Diesel, Armani and DKNY this year, so one of them’s bound to suit… $325 (£240 approx), diesel.com
