Fitbit Charge 3
The Fitbit Charge 3 is now available across Bahrain starting from BD68.860. Charge 3, the latest evolution of the best-selling Charge family of devices, delivers a premium swim proof design with a large touchscreen display, the most advanced health and fitness features on a tracker, and is the company’s smartest tracker yet – all powered by up to seven days of battery life.

Available at www.amazon.com

Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse
The natural handshake position of MX Vertical is designed to reduce wrist pressure and forearm strain associated with repetitive stress injury (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The unique 57-degree vertical angle has been optimised for an ergonomic posture without compromising a pixel of performance. 
Available at www.amazon.com

UBTech Jimu Astrobot Kit
You can assemble one of three robots with this Lego-like kit, each fully mobile and equipped with an infra-red sensor to help it detect and interact with its environment. Best of all, it can then be programmed using the child-friendly block-programming app, opening limitless opportunities. 
Available at www.amazon.com

Interactive Touch-Screen Projector
This impressive appliance is an early iteration of what might well become a common household gadget: a projector that turns any surface into an interactive touch screen. This means you can annotate a presentation, play Flappy Bird in huge dimensions, or beam a recipe on to your chopping board and scroll through it with doughy fingers.

Aukey Charging Stand
This slick pedestal, from charging giant Aukey, is both more attractive and more practical than the flat wireless chargers that have preceded it. With three internal coils and adjustable feet, it makes the idea of wireless charging seem less gimmicky and more genuinely convenient.
Available at www.amazon.com

Lumos Bike Helmet
Forty-eight LEDs adorn this ventilated bike helmet: white at the front, red at the back, and amber indicators to left and right, controlled by a remote on your handlebar. Not only can you signal your intentions to drivers, the helmet can also detect when you’re braking, and its lights react accordingly.
Available at www.amazon.com

Neato Botvac D7 Robot Vacuum
Building on its predecessors’ reputation for painstaking thoroughness, the D7 is less plasticky, better for pet hair, and has a luscious app that allows you to control it remotely, chart its progress and keep its venturesome spirit in check with no-go areas.
Available at www.amazon.com

Sphero R2D2
Luke Skywalker’s laconic mechanic has been lovingly reproduced in this miniature robot, which can patrol at will, follow you around, and utter his customary hooting trills. He’s interactive, app-enabled and, with luck, captures the original R2’s characteristic sarcasm.
Available at www.amazon.com
