Tech Tools: Fitbit Flex 2 – €100

Fitness tracker now waterproof and capable of delivering phone notifications

The Fitbit Flex has changed. The second version of the popular fitness tracker has one big advantage over its predecessor: it's waterproof. That means you can now take the Flex 2 swimming without worrying that it will be the end of your device. It's not just the pool in which the Flex 2 is now comfortable hanging out. Fitbit has been working on making its trackers a little more fashion-conscious, and the Flex 2 can now fit in a range of holders from the standard silicon fitness band to a more discreet bangle or pendant holder. It will also give you notifications when you get a call or text on your mobile phone.
