1. WeMo Wi-fi Crock Pot
Controlling appliances with the use of a phone or tablet isn’t anything new but an exciting variety of unique smart products have been launched in 2015. These now include kitchen appliances such as a remotely controlled coffee maker and this convenient gadget, the WeMo Wi-fi Crock Pot. Before leaving for the office, you can fill the pot with ingredients and then adjust the temperature throughout the day, using the WeMo App on your phone. Need to work overtime to impress the boss? No problem, you can turn the temperature down to stop cooking or turn off the device completely. For those with a busy schedule who enjoy a home cooked meal, it’s the perfect gadget.
2. Playbulb
Following on with the same theme of remotely controlled smart tech, we have the Playbulb, bringing you both light and music at the touch of a button. Controlling the lights in your house using a portable mp3 device like an iPod Touch isn’t groundbreaking but this product remains unique with an inbuilt speaker. The bulb has four modes including Night, Sleep, Energy Save and Wake Up. You can even select your favorite song to get you out of bed in the morning.
3. Withings Activite
A smart watch is a great way to become more aware of your current habits and encourage a healthier lifestyle. There’s just one problem. These are often bulky, cumbersome and not particular stylish. The Withings Activite is the ideal solution – a sleek, Swiss engineered wrist watch that has a leather strap and domed glass face. Surprisingly, this trendy piece actually connects via Bluetooth to your phone, and tracks all your steps, relaying the information to an app.
4. Bose QuietComfort 25
Bose has long been considered one of the best innovators in music tech with continual updates to their existing range. This latest pair is no exception featuring the same sleek design and premium finish but with even better performance than its predecessor, the QuietComfort 15. The Accoustic Noise Cancelling tech has been upgraded with new mics to the inner and outer shell. With improved sound quality, listening to your favorite tunes on the commute has never been so enjoyable.
