Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch for $85: As my colleague Simon Hill says in his Best USB-C Cables guide, this Nomad cable is way too expensive. However, it is undeniably handy—pack a single cable for your iPhone and your Apple Watch. It's Kevlar-reinforced, and the braided finish is nice. You can also charge your AirPods on the charging puck as well as your Apple Watch. Adrienne So

Insta360 X5 360 Camera for $550: You can overlay your fitness stats over your video while filming with the Insta360 X series. Simply connect the camera to your Insta360 X5 and authorize the Insta360 app to connect to Apple Health. The Insta360 X5 also connects to Garmin and GPS devices. Great for any vlogger showing the world their fitness journey. Adrienne So
