Loving that December wind? Yeah, us too. Singapore’s “winter season” equivalent is quite the pleasant meteorological phenomenon, and is one of our favourite parts of Christmas, although we can’t say the same of the maddening crowds at Orchard Road, or virtually any shopping centre where hordes of gift-buying folk congregate.
It’s all fine and dandy when the shopping is done, but if you have last-minute tendencies, then well, good luck to you (worse if you have absolutely no idea what to buy). But not to fear; it’s all about knowing what you need, and when it comes down to the crunch, there are no safer options than buying tech.
After all, tech is an important part of our lives, and has been for a long time. The trouble is deciding what exactly to buy. For that, Samsung has got you covered. The tech giant is one of the biggest electronics manufacturers in the world and has a wide variety of great options to choose from. Here are our best picks:
The Dancer
We all know that one person who loves dancing. That special someone needs a truly wireless device, so they can bust their moves as easily as possible (and in style too). For that, there’s the Samsung Gear IconX to go for – cordless earbuds with 7-hours of playtime that allow users to move freely without boundaries. Even better, it’s great for offline use as well. Say hello to 4GB of internal storage, which allows you to store all your favourite tunes, so you can listen to music-on-the-go without any fuss (or data).
Gear IconX, $268, available islandwide at Samsung Experience Stores and authorised retailers.
The Fitness Junkie
Most obsessions are unhealthy. Well, perhaps except obsessing about your health. And there’s no device that’ll help you control every aspect of your life – from exercise to eating habits, better than the Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro – a GPS-enabled fitness band that can track your heart rate, calories, and is completely swim-proof.
Gear Fit2 Pro, $268, available islandwide at Samsung Experience Stores and authorised retailers.
The Fashionista
There are two sorts of people in the world – those who wear watches and those who don’t (though it’s obvious which group is more stylish). Since smartwatches are in-trend, why not get that special someone a Gear Sport watch, which can track vital health/fitness stats, support offline Spotify playlists, as well as change looks with watch faces and interchangeable straps. The customisation bit comes in especially handy, since you can pick out a variety of chic straps to match any occasion, be it a formal dinner or party with friends.
Gear Sport, $448, available islandwide at Samsung Experience Stores and authorised retailers.
So you see, it’s possible to get different types of people great gifts from the same brand. It not only saves time, but also the hassle of squeezing through crowds when all you want to do is go home and get some much-needed rest (hey, it is the holiday season after all, and sleep really isn’t for the weak!)
