If you fancy getting fitter and you’re impressed by sleek design, this is the gadget for you. This tiny metal disk, the size of a 50 pence piece, has been carved from aircraft-grade aluminium by micro-laser drills, making it incredibly durable. Users, via their smartphone, create daily movement goals. The Shine, which can be attached to any item of clothing or worn on a watchstrap, then logs all activity throughout the day, even differentiating swimming from cycling from football. To check your progress, place the disk on the screen of your phone and watch your data download via Bluetooth, creating visuals of exercise intensity and calorie consumption. Admittedly, it does the same job as other gadgets already on the market, but none do it with this much style. It’s available in the UK now at John Lewis stores.
