The Perfect...Leather

Distressed Watch Straps by Hodinkee

When it comes to accessories I tend to stick to watches. So when I discovered the Hodinkee site I was more than stoked. Hodinkee watch straps are crafted by hand and sourced from a small artisan within Italy's Tuscan Region. Due to the unique nature of the materials used, and the human element of their construction, each strap has a personality all its own. $149 at hodinkee.com

It automatically records your weight, fat mass and BMI, which you can view from your computer or smartphone. It includes free lifetime support and no subscription fee. It also comes in white (how iphone of them). $159 withings.com
