10 best fitness gifts for Christmas 2021

 


(Pocket-lint) - What better way for your gift-expecting friends and family to say "get fit" than this Christmas with a shiny new fitness-focused gadget?

For those who need support or help to get fit, there are plenty of fitness trackers, headphones for those who love running or heart rate monitors for those who are looking for a little more detail while exercising, which can also accommodate a variety of budgets.

Beats Powerbeats Pro


These wireless headphones ditch the wires all together, are sweatproof and waterproof by design, one of the most recognizable earbuds around, and can see their user through the toughest workouts. Without having a wire, the corresponding charging case requires up to 24 hours of listening, all with a nicely balanced sound and resilient design.

AirPods Pro


With its new earbuds, Apple has a hit on its hands - AirPods Pro is still their best wireless audio solution, and will certainly become as successful as previous models. A great addition is the active noise cancellation here, and sweat-proofing makes them suitable for gym or outdoor running.

Fitbit Charge 4


You got them off the couch last Christmas, now treat them with a fantastic fitness tracker that is swimproof and up to 50m water resistant. The Charge 4, which comes with a wide OLED screen, recognizes exercise and even monitors sleep automatically. An accompanying app would allow them to brag to you how good they do for the rest of the year.

Fitbit Inspire 2


The Inspire 2 is the newest lightweight fitness tracker from Fitbit, freshly unveiled but quickly available in time for Christmas this year.

It has a great battery life of 10 days, and a very good basic interface, plus it can keep track of a variety of key metrics, including heart rate, burned calories, and measures. For someone who needs a low-maintenance tracker, it's fine.

Garmin Heart Rate Monitor Strap


This Garmin heart-rate monitor strap will allow them to get more out of their training for that person who is already running and exercising regularly. When combined with compatible Garmin GPS running watches, it can provide real-time data for cadence, ground contact time and vertical oscillation to help them progress where they need it.

Garmin Forerunner 235


Sporting the more familiar look of the other Forerunner versions, thanks to its "get me back to the start" feature, the 235 is a perfect gift for those who run frequently and enjoy running off the beaten path. For simple updates, they will also be able to connect to their computer, so they will have no reason to miss your email.

Apple Watch Sports Loop


Perhaps it's time to upgrade them to the company's newest full smartwatch - the Versa 3, which adds GPS monitoring to the party - from the simple Fitbit band they have been using for a number of years.

Even before mentioning the normal monitoring features of Fitbit, with six days of battery life, Fitbit Pay so they can pay for stuff in stores with contactless, and even Amazon Alexa all on board, it has plenty to give. That all makes this a perfect gift from their fitness tracker for those looking for a little more.

Jarbird Vista


These comfortable wireless headphones are a little more accessible than the ones on our list earlier. With two more charges in the case, they can get six hours of battery per charge, making them more than good enough for almost any running outing and, oh yeah, they sound fantastic too.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
