Ray-Ban Stories
On any given stroll, snap a photo or video clip and instantly upload it to social media while blasting the new Beyoncé not with your phone or smart watch, but with your shades. These smart sunnies, a collaboration between the iconic Italian-American sunglass maker and Facebook’s parent company Meta, are based on the classic Wayfarer and pack serious performance power: take calls, play tunes, and take photos and video through a simple click of the touchpad. $299, ray-ban.com

Bella beat Ivy Health Tracker
The benefits of wellness trackers are plenty: they monitor activity, heart rate, sleep, et al, but their appearance tends to prioritize function over fashion. This clever option for her resembles a trendy bracelet that packs all the intelligence of a traditional wearable, but in an ultra-chic package. All algorithms are calibrated specifically for female bodies, including menstrual cycle data, lifestyle habits, and biometric readings. The tracker identifies gaps in self-care and suggests micro improvements for a more well-rounded lifestyle. $249, bellabeat.com

Unit 1 FARO Smart Helmet
This connected LED helmet combines snazz and smarts to make biking safer than ever – especially at night. Once turned on, the helmet features a light show of multi-colored LEDs that signal the rider’s intentions to others on the road, including turn indicators and brake lights (bonus: owners can customize their hues based on personal taste). The helmet can also detect a hard fall and will issue a distress SMS to the owner’s emergency contact if inactivity is detected. $230, unit1gear.com

Oura Ring Gen 3
The smart “mood ring” loved by Olympic athletes and fitness celebrities recently hit the market with several updates. Now in its third generation, the wellness wearable offers daytime and workout heart rate readings, both powered by a suite of new green LED sensors; blood oxygen sensing, which reads the wearer’s oxygen levels as they snooze, offering a more accurate picture of sleep quality; period prediction for her; and an updated Library of Wellness, featuring science-backed content and guided wellness sessions. $399, ouraring.com

Tile Slim Tracker
The latest version of Tile’s sleekest tracking device boasts bigger functionality in a more slender package. The water-resistant Bluetooth tracker is now the size of just two credit cards, so it can slip into your wallet or luggage tag with ease, and features a range of up to 250 feet. An upgrade to Tile Premium adds features such as smart alerts when your item is left behind, and free battery replacements sent annually. $27, thetileapp.com

Woojer Vest Edge
Every audio buff knows the importance of spatial sound in a home theater, but this innovative wearable goes one step farther by bathing individuals in fully immersive, 360-degree sound and its reverberating sensations. Through haptic traducers, the vest pumps low frequencies throughout the body, so audiophiles and gamers can not only hear, but feel the bass and the beat. $429, woojer.com

Bose Sleepbuds II
Bring on noisy airplanes, snoring partners, and late-night street noise. The second iteration of Bose’s Sleep buds eliminates the need for melatonin supplements. The tiny buds pair with the Bose Sleep app to provide soothing sounds while masking outside noise throughout the night. There’s a library of 50 sounds onboard, from natural melodies like rain or ocean waves to soft synthesized music. Users can also select a personalized wake up. $249, bose.com
