Gadgets of the Year: Consumer Tech of the Year
2020 may not have been a fun year, but numerous gadgets rolled in to make lockdown a little easier. In the 2nd of a 3-part series, ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK and BRYAN TURNER select the best consumer tech of 2020.
Wearables of the Year: Fitbit Sense, Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro
The competition between Fitbit and Huawei heated up this year. Fitbit’s latest premium smartwatch, the Sense (R8,000), raised eyebrows in the tech community for including a large array of sensors geared towards health.

With stress becoming an increasingly important part of health tracking, the EDA sensor offers great value to users.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro (R7,000) is the exercise king: with over 100 workout modes, from skiing to golfing, the smartwatch provides proactive insights and coaching during activity. Uniquely, it also detects barometric pressure, allowing runners to find shelter before they’re caught in a thundershower.
