Fitbit Ultra —

MOTOACTV —
The MOTOACTV is like having a "personal trainer and DJ with you while you run, bike or walk." The device records your speed, distance and calories burned then uploads them to your account.

The Withings Body Scale measures you and up to seven other users in terms of weight, muscle mass and fat mass. It also shows your body mass index (BMI) in comparison to the reference ranges in each profile, all of which can be viewed with the free Withings app on an iPhone, iPad or Android device or from any Web browser through its Wi-Fi capabilities. Cost: $159.00.
