FITBIT ALTA HR

Sometimes life is like listening to the dead air between an album’s last track and the hidden track. At least you’re doing something, even if nothing is happening. And there’s the promise of an event, if you can just hold it together for a while longer. There are, however, aspects of life you can control, using tech, and one of those is activity. Fitbit’s Alta tracker has just got a huge upgrade in the form of an optical heart-rate sensor, which makes data such as calorie burn much more accurate. Everything is still ultimately pointless, but it passes the time. £130 / fitbit.com
