Top Tech Gifts for Christmas 2018

We’re making a list, we’re checking it twice….

We’ve compiled a list of the best tech gifts this Christmas – which one is on your wish list?

Apple Watch Series 4 ReviewApple Watch Series 4

Apple claims to have “redesigned and re-engineered” the Apple Watch to “help you stay even more active, healthy and connected”. To be fair, they have thought of pretty much everything in this tiny device – from podcasts to pace tracking – it’s all there. And what’s also nice is that it’s not for one particular demographic – with the largest display if any Apple watch, it includes fall detection and Emergency SOS feature, which we like. And it looks pretty smart too.

Features include:

  • Activity sharing with friends.
  • Personalised coaching.
  • Monthly challenges.
  • Siri Shortcuts
  • Cadence and pace alerts
  • Fall Detection and Emergency SOS
