The Top Gadgets For Health And Fitness In 2025
When it comes to keeping ourselves happy and healthy, there’s no amount of help that’s too much. The focus, determination and persistence it needs means that tech advances like trackers and monitors have become a huge industry, and supportive tech like GPS locators and fitness-ready earphones are a staple for every exercise fan.
This year, you’ll find more choice than ever, and with tech becoming more competitively priced, it might be time to consider that helpful device to assist you in your wellness journey. Here’s what’s hot in the world of health and fitness gadgets this year.
Garmin Descent 2
Garmin watches are the gold standard for fitness fanatics – put on one, and everyone around you will know you take sport seriously. While that’s largely because of the cost of these high-spec smartwatches, even the entry-level versions are well worth considering. The Garmin Descent 2 is, at £590, by far their cheapest watch that you can use underwater (up to 100 meters), making it ideal for swimmers, snorkelers and divers – it even tracks technical, recreational and free dives separately. Pair it with a satellite communicator and dive case to communicate above water, even when you’re at the bottom of the ocean.
Added to this, you’ll have built-in GPS, tide data, a heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter and multi-sport tracking. If you need extra encouragement, their animated workouts and custom workout plans work a treat.
Hyperice Hypersphere Go
This massage ball is ideal for those who test their bodies when they exercise, be it runners, cyclists or those who do weights at the gym. The shape and rubber coating means it can target specific areas that need extra attention. A full charge gives you 2 hours at the highest of the three levels, so the battery life is excellent. And while some might think a ball can’t be as good as a masseur, Hyperice would argue the opposite – it can handle deep tissue massages, with a high-powered vibration that the human touch can’t quite replicate. From the upper back to the soles of our feet, the ball can relieve post-workout tension for just £99.
Oura Ring 4
A subtle smart ring is a health and fitness fan’s best friend, and the newest model of Oura is certainly worth considering. It’s a top candidate as an all-round device, with insights into sleep, activity, stress, menstrual cycle and heart health. Thinking about heart health alone, it monitors your heart rate 24/7, tells you your cardiovascular age, your heart capacity (which helps you know how intense your workout sessions can get) and shows you your heart rate variability, so you know when to rest up and relax. The device offers up to 8 days of battery life so you can go for a whole week without needing to charge it. Starting at £349, it comes in a range of luxe metallics, from brushed silver to rose gold – yet another example of how it blends into one’s lifestyle.
Sony WF-C700N wireless earbuds
There’s always a balance between cost and quality, but the Sony WF-C700N wireless earbuds, which have been on the market for a couple of years, are known for being one of the best value for money earbuds around. And as runners, cyclists and gym-goers may well lose a bud along the way, it makes sense to stick with a great pair that are a reasonable £74. These earbuds feature active noise cancelling (great if you want to block out noise to concentrate), have an ergonomic surface for a comfortable fit, come with excellent IPX4 water resistance, and just a 10-minute charge gives an extra hour of play – so you can charge these earbuds from empty while you grab your things, and enjoy a workout very soon after.
Tangram SmartRope Rookie
Skipping is one of the best aerobic exercises around, and it’s one favoured as the summer months arrive and people prefer outdoor exercises over going to the gym on a blue-sky day. Using non-contact sensors, this smart rope monitors the amount you skip and syncs to your phone, so you’ll see jump counts, calories and duration – and it powers on automatically when you use it, so there’s minimal set-up involved. Its adjustable length means it suits all shapes and sizes, and it’s lightweight enough to feel like a professional bit of kit. Tempted? It’s on sale at Currys now, at just £19.99.
