Lusting after the latest Apple watch? Here are six cool gadgets that could make geeks and fashionistas weak in the knees
When fashion meets technology, it results in a deadly combination. Whether strapped on to your wrist or turned into a cool accessory for your phone, these gadgets flaunt the perfect mix of style and function.
1) Apple Watch Hermès
Though Apple's original watch is quite the stunner, the Hermès touch adds even more elegance. Not only does this coveted piece of wearable tech pack in innovative features that made it a talking point, its packaging (read handmade leather straps) now boasts the French luxury house's savoir-faire.
Price: $1,100 (Indian price not yet announced) on apple.com
2) Swarovski Shine Collection
Touted as the first activity-tracking jewellery collection, the Swarovski Shine Collection is in association with Misfit (manufacturers of wearable home products). This range of pendants, bracelets and wristbands measure your daily activities and quality of sleep. Moreover, it syncs wirelessly with your smartphone.
