Here are some of the coolest speakers, smartwatches and tablets on the market today. Runtastic Orbit fitness tracker ($119.99) As its name suggests, Runtastic is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to health and fitness. The Orbit tracks your activities, moni- tors your sleep cycle and even keeps tabs on the calories you're burning, all from your wrist, all day long. Blogger Ben Abel sets his Orbit to let him know when he's reached 8,000 steps each day. GPS functionality also allows it to track your route when you run or bike. Eight coloured wrist bands are available, so pick one to match your mood or your workout shoes. Plus it's waterproof and even keeps time. Jabra Sport+ wireless headphones ($99.99) Rain and shock proof, these wireless headphones are built toward military standards, so it's unlikely anything you're going to do will break them. They clamp securely onto your ears to stay put during even the most intense workout. Jump, bump and bounce and your Jabra headphones are still steady, and three sizes of Ultra Comfort Eargels mean that when they're in, you won't feel like pulling them out. These earphones also deliver excellent stereo sound, including onboard FM radio, without any wires. Take a phone call directly from the headset, mute the mic or control the music — the treble and bass are more than adequate, says Abel. Don't forget to recharge the device, as it provides only four-six hours of use. Gadgets & Gizmos Six high-tech toys that'll make your post-secondary experience a blast By Corey Van't Haaff
