Smartwatches
If you are familiar with the tastes or wishes of the recipient, a connected watch is perfect for a sporty person – or who wishes to become one -, who is looking to better rhythm his life or monitor his health.

Also consider, Fitbit watches have them all. The latest Charge5 model that I recently tried is very appealing: a week’s battery life, advanced, precise and very complete biometric measurements and synchronization with the Fitbit app on your smartphone. You just have to replace the very unpleasant rubber strap with another; on the site itself or on Amazon.ca. At the time of this writing, the Charge5 is $ 170 instead of $ 230.
