Almost like having a doctor on your wrist — the Withings Scan Watch not only tracks your workout, but also monitors your heart health, sleep and respiratory functions. Long gone are the days when watches would only tell the time, this option from Withings features a medical grade ECG and an oximeter for SPO2 recordings. It also had a battery life of 30 days, but that seems pretty irrelevant compared to the rest. £208.29 from www.withings.com
