Misfit Swarovski Shine

Misfit’s newest fitness trackers come with their own embedded Swarovski crystals and can be worn as jewelry. Included pendant and bracelet accessories offer a variety of styles. It lasts for months on a battery, tracks activity and sleep, and glows when you tap it: it’s this season’s flashiest wearable tech.

Jawbone Up24

Jawbone’s newest Up3 band isn’t here yet, but the Up24 is still a great and pretty affordable way to track activity and sleep in a low-key band. It’s the thinnest band around, there are many color options, and there’s a good chance you can find one on sale.

Pebble Watch

The new Pebble Time watch arrives in May, but the original Pebble is affordable ($99), comes in plenty of colors, and works well. It’s plastic and a bit nerdy-looking, but it might be a great fit for a geek Mom.

Apple Watch Sport

We haven’t reviewed the Apple Watch yet, but its design, band options and its smaller 38mm body could make Apple Watch a more attractive smartwatch for Moms that already have iPhones. If you’re prepared to shop for something that costs $350, it might be worth considering.
