A bracelet with a heart rate monitor, a backpack for a geek and headphones from films about the future - we have compiled a digest of the most useful and unusual gifts for Defender of the Fatherland Day.
Chest straps, which are certainly included in the set of conventional heart rate monitors, are no longer needed: Mio created a tracker that can count the heart rate without additional accessories. Moreover, the accuracy of optical monitoring is comparable to an ECG: the bracelet manufacturer claims this after numerous tests. In general, Mio Fuse is a gorgeous gift for a man who regularly goes to the gym and wants to engage in a program that provides for tracking the pulse.
In addition to measuring heart rate, Mio Fuse can do the same thing as other fitness bracelets: it counts steps, measures pace and distance, and also keeps track of calories burned. For daily activities up to an hour, the Fuse battery lasts for a week. The tracker is synchronized with the two most popular mobile operating systems (iOS, Android), so it is preliminary important to make sure that the smartphone of the future gift holder does not work under Windows Phone.

A real gadget man always carries his devices with him, but putting them in an ordinary bag is suicide: there is too much risk of getting a tablet with a broken screen or a hopelessly tangled charging cord. Thule developed a special geek backpack, which, despite its rather modest capacity (25 liters), will contain all the necessary devices.
In the main compartment of Crossover TCBP-317 is a laptop: initially this compartment was designed for the MacBook Pro, but there will fit another laptop with a screen up to 15 inches. The second compartment is given to the tablet (by default with a 10-inch diagonal). Of course, between the gadgets there is a layer that will prevent the devices from beating against each other. In the third compartment, it is proposed to transfer charges, and the SafeZone compartment has been designed for the smartphone: thanks to the solid construction, the device is guaranteed complete safety. However, if someone is used to carrying the phone in his pocket, SafeZone quickly cleans up, increasing the free space of the backpack.

Several years ago, one of the most truthful demotivators in history reached its peak of popularity: “Are you reading this text? Stop holding your chin with your left hand. And straighten your back. ” The typical position of a person who studies the news on the Internet kills the spine: at first the pains occur sporadically, and then become permanent.
“Posture Master” is an effective corrector for those who profess a sedentary lifestyle. The device is attached to clothing (or directly to the body) and, using the built-in accelerometer, inspects the level of bending of the spine. As soon as it becomes critical, the timer starts, and after a minute the "Master" begins to vibrate, urging it to straighten. Such unobtrusive, but systematic reminders are much more effective than the rare advice of relatives urging them not to hunch in front of the monitor.

There are quite a few usage scenarios for iOS and Android tablets, but until recently, they did not include drawing: you won’t be able to portray something highly artistic with your finger, and the usual stylus is suitable only for sketches. The stylish Sensu Brush digital brush adds one more function to the gadget: the screen turns into a picture canvas.
Due to the conductive fiber (a pile is made of it) Sensu Brush is also suitable for complex drawings: the sensations of touching the screen are the same as touching a regular brush with a canvas. Additional advantages: no need for recharging and a cap that turns the brush into a stylus for capacitive displays.

A row of adapters sticking out of the outlet quickly begins to annoy: it is more convenient to distribute energy to gadgets with a single charger. Zendure 4-Port - from this category: the stylish square-shaped device is equipped with a quartet of USB cable inputs. The Zendure device weighs just 200 grams: you can take it on any trip to be able to charge your smartphone and tablet at the same time, and not wait until the adapter is released.
But the main function of 4-Port is the panel for wireless charging. There you can put both smartphones that support this function (Nokia, Motorola, LG, HTC models), and other devices (including iPhone). True, for the second option you will need an external Qi-receiver, which is not included in the kit.

A compact speaker with two powerful broadband speakers is a great gift for the music lover who uses Apple devices. OnBeat Mini works with all devices from Cupertino, released in the fall of 2012 or later (the main thing is the lighting connector). The gadget from JBL can play the role of a docking station (recharging) or play music from another audio device via a 3.5 mm cable.
From a single charge, the speaker gives an 8-hour concert, and the current level of battery fullness is displayed by an LED indicator. OnBeat Mini is a useful thing not only at a party, but also in everyday life: it is obvious that listening to jazz from a speaker is more pleasant than from an iPhone speaker.

The design of the headphones with an aluminum alloy housing was developed specifically for those iPhone owners who want to look ultramodern. “Gags” involuntarily cause associations with films about the future, but appearance is far from the only plus of Harman Kardon.
Headphones are equipped with a volume switch, a 1.2-meter wire and a cover that comes with the kit. Also, Harman Kardon AE are able to work in the range of 16-20000 Hz and can boast of ear pads that absolutely do not cause discomfort.
