The Apple Watch Series 8 contains the company’s most powerful health sensors to date as it can detect your temperature as you sleep, resulting in better tracking of a woman’s menstrual and ovulation cycle. Apart from also being able to keep track of your heart rate, medications, and blood oxygen, the Apple Watch Series 8 can also determine how much time you spent in REM, Core, or Deep sleep. Additionally, with this watch’s enhanced Workout app, you can view more advanced metrics like Heart Rate Zones and customized intervals.

Acer eKinekt BD 3
Something to look forward to very soon this year is Acer’s eKinekt BD 3, which is a stationary exercise bike with a built-in office desk. What makes this bike so noteworthy and innovative is that it’s also eco-friendly, which for this bike means that you can charge your devices by simply pedaling. While this bike would be perfect for staying fit and active while working, you can also put it into Sports Mode so that you can focus on biking if need be.
