If a Ninja Turtle had an affair with a Sonos speaker, their love child might look a bit like this. The cube-shaped Aerix Duet is an all-in-one sound system, which has an integrated CD player as well as wireless music streaming compatibility with Spotify, Deezer, Pandora and Tidal. Available at Aerix, priced £1,499.
There is no universal metric that defines a tough-as-nails timepiece, though Nixon’s ultra-rugged, action sports smartwatch might have just set the bar. Produced alongside Google, the silicone-strapped Mission chronograph is designed for the outdoor sportsman and as such is water resistant to 100m and built from a cocktail of surgical-grade stainless steel, shock-resistant polycarbonate and Corning Gorilla Glass. Available at Nixon, priced £339.
For the photographer who occasionally needs to send the odd text, Kodak’s Ektra could just be the ultimate camera phone. Named after Kodak’s 1941 snapper of the same name, the Android-powered kit packs a 21-megapixel Sony sensor and is wrapped in a dark, faux leather for a classy touch. Available at Kodak, priced £449.
Next time you open a pack of Walkers and complain it’s half air, consider that you could have spent £45 on just five mouthfuls (that’s around £9.14 per crisp). Proving it’s not just the fashion world that’s a bit bonkers, Swedish brewery St Erik’s has produced the world’s most exclusive snack to partner with its beer, using ingredients such as Matsutake mushrooms picked from northern Swedish forests and truffle seaweed from the Faroe Islands. Available at St Erik’s, priced £46.
Having teased salivating gamers by letting details, well, dribble out, Nintendo has finally confirmed its long under wraps console. Nintendo Switch is a hybrid device that offers portable and home gaming in one. Modular side controls can be attached to the seven-inch screen to play on the go while a special dock lets the unit be connected to the TV. Available from March 2017 at Amazon, price tbc.
When it comes to sealing the deal, all five senses are just as important as each other. Tick off sight, smell and touch with the Swedish Massage Candle from Ron Dorff. Don’t worry, we haven’t gone all 50 Shades; the burner uses a low melting point wax that glides onto skin. To get a rub down of your own, you could visit the brand’s new in-store sports massage space in association with wellness firm Fix London. Available at Ron Dorff and in store at 5 Earlham St, London, WC2H 9LL, priced £39.
If you’ve been holding off on getting an Apple Watch Series 2 (or running, for that matter) things could be about to change. Up your fitness ante with the new joint smartwatch-come-fitness tracker from the Californian tech giant and sportswear heavyweight Nike. As well as a breathable strap, the device features a built-in GPS to track your pace, distance and route while storing all important metrics about your health. Available from October 28 at Amazon, priced £369.
