Basically an extended version of the Breitling watch, this Personal Locator Beacon will call in the rescue teams anywhere in the world.  When you’re ready to put up the white flag simply flip the antenna up and just hit the red button.  Immediately a personalized coded signal beams into space, to designated COSPAS-SARSAT satelites, telling them where you are, who you are, any pre-set medical conditions, and that you are in a life threatening situation.  Within hours search and rescue, and sometimes the military, will come grab you (at a cost).  U.S. Air Force Rescue Center Approved. $600 BUY

The future is coming…in fact it will be here just in time for Christmas. The Fitbit is a remarkable device. It tracks your activities throughout the day – a multidirectional pedometer inside has 95-97% accuracy.  It not only measures the intensity and duration of your physical activities, but also calories burned, steps taken, and distance traveled.  But wait – here’s where it gets cool.  It will also track how long it took you to fall asleep, the number of times you woke up throughout the night and how long you were actually asleep vs just lying in bed.  This is done through smal tremors in your wrist based on different stages of sleep. You can then wirelessly sync all this info and track it online.  Wireless and rechargeable.  Diagnose your life.  $99.  BUY
