    Finally, A Bag That Keeps Up With Your Busy Lifestyle

    by

    You’re always on the move – from early meetings to that Pilates class you refuse to skip – so the last thing you need is a bag that slows you down. The Stanley Carry-All was made with busy days in mind, giving you space for all the essentials without weighing you down. And yes, it even fits your Quencher, so you can stay hydrated wherever the day takes you.

    It’s the little details that make it so easy to love. Three cleverly placed pockets mean there’s a spot for everything: your phone in the main compartment, a slim wallet or card sleeve just below and a mesh pocket for the bits you reach for most, like lip balm or earbuds. Your sunglasses get their own protective sleeve, and there’s even a built-in key clip so you’re not digging around at the bottom when you’re already running late.

    The Carry-All is light enough for all-day wear (just 218g) but strong enough to handle everyday use, thanks to its 100% recycled polyester design. Inside, a breathable mesh lining helps you spot what you need in seconds. The adjustable strap means you can sling it crossbody and stay hands-free, or detach it completely when you want to switch up the look.

    Shop The Range

    Whether you’re grabbing a post-yoga coffee, strolling through a weekend market or heading to a concert with friends, this is the kind of bag that simply makes life easier.

      Introducing The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro – A Smartphone That Captures Life Exactly As You See It

      by

      We take thousands of photos every year; of friends, family, outfits, sunsets, meals and memories. But what if your phone didn’t just take pictures, what if it made them look exactly as you remember them!

      That’s the promise of the new HUAWEI Pura 80 Series, now available in South Africa. Make no mistake, it’s not just a phone. It’s a statement piece, a professional camera and a luxury accessory all rolled into one.

      At first glance, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Series turns heads. However, it’s not just about how it looks. It’s about how it makes you feel. Every curve, every reflection and every colourway has been chosen to evoke elegance and individuality. The smooth glazed finish has the softness of porcelain with the strength to go anywhere. Meanwhile, the silk-textured frame shimmers subtly in the light, like fine jewellery. The Glazed Red model features a sunburst pattern inspired by the golden-hour glow of sunrise.

      This is a phone you dress your day around. It complements your mood, slips effortlessly into your aesthetic and elevates the everyday, from a coffee run to a night out. It’s a phone that doesn’t just sit effortlessly in your hand. Instead, it fits into your life seamlessly. Whether you’re capturing spontaneous moments or making a visual statement, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is designed to reflect your sense of self. It does so with bold beauty, quiet confidence and unmistakable charm.

      HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro – Burgundy Red

      HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro – Glazed Black

      Designed To Be Seen

      Let’s talk a little more about the design. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro draws inspiration from fine Italian jewellery and the flowing textures of traditional Eastern glaze work. The result is a phone that’s tactile, elegant and undeniably premium.

      It’s available in a devastatingly gorgeous burgundy called Glazed Red or a moody Glazed Black. Both shimmer with light and change tone depending on your angle. The curved screen, soft brushed frame and subtle detailing make it feel less like a gadget. It feels more like a fashion essential.

      A Camera That Sees Light Like the Human Eye

      Whether you’re snapping golden hour selfies, a neon-lit skyline or a candlelit dinner, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro adapts to the moment with incredible precision. It features a 1-inch Ultra Lighting Camera sensor, the largest ever seen on a non-Ultra smartphone. Huawei’s unique RYYB colour filter array draws in more light than conventional sensors. This reveals richer tones and softer shadows.

      Photos feel alive, shadows are soft, faces glow and colours are truer. This is all thanks to Huawei’s Ultra Chroma Camera, which fine-tunes each shot to match the way you see it. Even complex lighting, such as concerts, markets and night-time portraits, looks cinematic and clear.

      Plus, with Super HDR, you can shoot against the light without losing detail in highlights or your subject. And when it comes to portraits, the physical aperture adjusts just like a DSLR, giving you dreamy background blur or crisp group shots with everyone in focus.

      [embedded content]

      Even the trickiest lighting, from dim restaurants to dusk concerts, is captured with cinematic clarity. With Super Night Mode, you’ll see your world at its most atmospheric, no extra effort required.

      If you’re the kind of person who wants even more – more clarity, drama and reach – the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra takes it further. With cinema-level dynamic range and a unique dual telephoto lens, it adjusts seamlessly as you zoom. This allows it to capture scenes exactly as your eyes see them, even from far away. Whether you’re shooting an intimate portrait or a stage from the back row, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra makes every detail feel close, sharp and full of emotion.

      Your Life, Elevated

      Of course, the beauty runs more than skin deep. It features a vibrant 6.8-inch display, smart privacy features and gesture controls that let you navigate without touching the screen. The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro was made to make life smoother. It charges super-fast with 100W wired or 80W wireless charging. And its 5170mAh battery easily keeps up with your longest days. Whether you’re out shooting content, replying to messages or streaming on the go, this phone won’t quit before you do.

      READ MORE: HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series Helps You Train Smarter, Recover Better And Move With Purpose

      The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is also water- and dust-resistant with IP68 and IP69 ratings, so you can feel confident taking it anywhere. It’s more than a phone. It’s a studio in your pocket.

      See Further, Capture More

      From weekend getaways to weddings, gallery openings to beach sunsets, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro captures the aesthetic of your life the way it deserves to be seen. It’s bold, it’s smart and it’s ready for whatever your next adventure brings.

      The HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro is now available in South Africa through all retail partners starting from R889 over 36 months. Receive a free HUAWEI nova Y72s plus additional gifts all valued at R9 395. T’s&C’s apply.

      How To Choose The Right Garmin Watch For Your Run Goals

      by

      Looking for a running watch that actually works for your goals – not just pro athletes? Garmin’s been in the game long enough to know that no two runners are the same. Whether you’re building your base, chasing a PB, or just love geeking out over your training stats, there’s a Garmin smartwatch that fits.

      From entry-level models with the basics to fully loaded watches packed with performance insights, here’s how to choose the one that’ll help you train smarter, run stronger and keep going.

      READ MORE: 34 Running Tips Every Beginner Needs To Know

      Features For The Beginner Runner

      Let’s start with the basics, and by basics, we don’t mean your watch will be basic. Even smartwatches designed for beginners have advanced tools and metrics that can help you grow as a runner:

      Built-in GPS: Easily track where you run and get accurate stats, including distance, pace and intervals.

      Long battery life: No, really. We mean a really long battery life. Depending on which Garmin smartwatch you have, you should get up to 1 week of battery life in smartwatch mode at a minimum, or even unlimited battery life with solar charging1 on the Instinct® 3 Solar adventure smartwatch.

      Sleep monitoring: Understand how your body is recovering – and get ready for training – with our improved sleep monitoring feature2. With select watches, you’ll receive a sleep score after waking up, along with a breakdown of your sleep stages and so much more.

      Wrist-based heart rate: Your heart rate zone matters. With wrist-based heart rate2, you can gauge how hard your heart is working during runs. Plus, tracking your heart rate data and heart rate variability (HRV) outside of workouts lends insight into your recovery, overall fitness and more.

      Recovery time: We can’t emphasise enough how important it is to rest. The recovery time feature uses your latest training, stress levels and sleep to help you figure out how long you should take to recover.

      Garmin Coach & Connect

      Garmin Coach: Is there a race in your future? You’ll want to check out these free adaptive training plans, available in the Garmin Connect™ app. Pick a training plan based on your goal and distance – 5K, 10K or a half-marathon – and select a coach who suits your needs. Garmin Coach will help you find upcoming races near you and keep you on track leading up to race day with recommended workouts that sync to your watch.

      Garmin Connect™: All Garmin smartwatches are compatible with the Garmin Connect app, the free tool for tracking, analysing, and sharing health and fitness activities. Think of it as a personal assistant to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

      Forerunner® 55

      With Forerunner 55 on your wrist, you can start calling yourself a runner. This GPS smartwatch offers up to 2 weeks of battery life in smartwatch mode while tracking essential stats so you can chase your goals.

      vívoactive® 6

      Features For The Advanced Runner

      You’ve been running for a while and have started getting the hang of things. You’re not afraid to push your limits; now you need a smartwatch to keep up. In addition to the features for entry-level runners, you may also want to consider a smartwatch with:

      Daily suggested workouts: Get run recommendations each day based on your training history, fitness level and recovery time.

      Training readiness: Wake up and get a readiness score so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard – or sit back and take it easy.

      Multi-band GPS support: With multiple frequency bands allowing for more consistent tracklogs and improved positioning, you’ll enjoy superior accuracy for running speed and distance even in challenging environments.

      Garmin Run Coach: Adaptive training plans from Garmin Run Coach can help you train for a race, achieve a personal milestone or improve your fitness. Just choose an end date or goal and the days you want to train, and Garmin Run Coach will create a personalised training plan that includes daily workouts that adapt to your performance, recovery and health metrics.

      Features For The Elite Runner

      Elite runners are looking for serious smartwatches. Good thing we have those too. To power your marathons, triathlons and long training sessions, we have wearable tech packed with advanced features designed just for you.

      Real-time stamina: Don’t overexert yourself. Use this feature to track and manage your exertion before the start of every run.

      Built-in maps: Full-colour, built-in maps and turn-by-turn navigation keep you on track whether you’re running on city streets or densely covered trails.

      Dynamic round-trip routing: Just tell your watch how far you want to go and you’ll get suggested return routes. Plus, if you go off course, your watch will reroute to keep your mileage on track.

      Endurance score: How long can you last? This feature measures your ability to keep up prolonged efforts so you know how your training impacts your overall endurance.

      Built-in LED flashlight: This is the feature you never knew you needed. The LED lights on the side of select Garmin smartwatches are bright enough to illuminate the room.

      Tried And Tested: 5 Salomon Hiking Essentials You’ll Want For Every Hike

      by

      It’s official – the WH team is in their adventure era. We’ve hit the trails for an in-depth Salomon hiking gear review, putting the brand’s latest essentials to the test. From rugged trail shoes to next-generation backpacks, we’ve selected five peak pieces that deliver on comfort, style and performance. Here’s what stood out on every step of the journey.

      1. Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 Gore-Tex

      GORE-TEX – a waterproof fabric– is all the rage, and honestly, we’re here for it. There’s nothing better than not having to tiptoe around puddles and being confident you’ll have dry feet during and after a hike. These shoes are made for hiking and walking off the beaten track – stable, tough and ready for anything. But don’t box them in as just trail shoes; 2025 fashion trends have elevated them to cult-like status as streetwear must-haves (we love pairing them with skirts).

      2. Salomon Women’s Aerotrek 28 Hiking Bag

      When you’re heading out for a hike, the last thing you want is a bulky bag weighing you down. This backpack, designed for women, is lightweight, easy to carry and fits comfortably across your chest and waist – no awkward shifting or chafing. There’s more than enough space for your layers, snacks and water for a full day out (or even a minimalist overnight). The breathable suspended back panel uses an advanced airCHASSIS system and patented Lumbar Support to keep things cool and the women-specific harness helps distribute the load so your shoulders don’t feel it. Bonus: it’s kitted out with smart extras like pole attachments, helmet loops and an ice axe carrier if you’re heading for more technical terrain.

      3. Salomon Women’s Outerpath Base Pants 

      A technical pair of pants – that aren’t cargo pants – that actually come with pockets and can be easily taken from the trail to the city? That’s a rare find we’re not going to gatekeep! We also love the durable yet soft fabric with water-repellent protection – and the elastic ankle adjustment that adds a practical touch for on-trail comfort.

      4. Salomon Unisex Cross Belt

      This bag’s versatility is just incredible. Whether you’re running, biking or hiking, it fits snugly around your waist with zero bounce. Super easy to adjust, it comes with zipped pockets perfect for stashing your scrunchie, gels, keys and phone. Plus, the 400ml bottle slots in perfectly, making it ideal for a quick grab-and-go run.

      5. Salomon Unisex Sense Aero Headband

      A headband is perfect for wearing under a hat or on its own to wick away sweat. This one is so comfortable, you’ll almost forget it’s there. Its lightweight, four-way stretch fabric offers breathability and stays in place no matter how intense your workout gets. Plus, the branding is reflective for extra visibility and safety.

      Free Your Stride With The HOKA Arahi 8 

      by

      Let’s be real – most running shoes make you pick between cushion or control. But what if you didn’t have to choose? That’s exactly what the HOKA Arahi 8 is all about. This isn’t just a refresh – it’s a redefinition of what a stability shoe can be. With a sleek design, next-gen support system and signature HOKA softness, the Arahi 8 is built for runners, walkers and everyday movers who want comfort without compromise. Whether you’re logging miles, hitting the gym, or powering through your 9-to-5 on your feet, this shoe adapts to your rhythm – supporting every step with confidence.

      READ MORE: This 7-Day Training Plan Is Perfect For Anyone Who Runs And Lifts Weights

      What’s New?

      H‑Frame™ stability

      Out with the old J‑Frame, in with the new H‑Frame™. This fresh design supports your foot from both sides, giving you smoother, more natural stability – without that stiff, “corrective” feel.

      Softer, lighter midsole

      HOKA brought in even softer foam and more heel cushioning for a lighter, bouncier ride. It’s still protective, just with a cloud-like upgrade you’ll actually feel.

      Cooler, comfier upper

      Double jacquard mesh, a gusseted tongue and a redesigned heel all work together for a snug fit that stays breathable and blister-free – yes, please.

      APMA Approved

      It’s officially approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, which basically means it’s foot doctor–approved for supporting your stride.

      How This Helps You

      Smoother support

      The Arahi 8 gives guidance for mild to moderate overpronation, but without bulky heel posts or stiffness.

      All-day wearability

      From your morning jog to your 8-hour shift (and maybe a grocery run after?), this shoe stays comfy from start to finish.

      Ready for anything

      Rain, shine, short jogs, long walks – this one’s built to last and grip where it counts.

      The Arahi 8 is for those who want a stability shoe that doesn’t feel like a stability shoe. It’s light, cushioned and supportive in all the right places. Whether you’re correcting overpronation, easing into a fitness routine, or just looking for an ultra-comfy daily trainer – this one checks all the boxes.

      Shop The HOKA Arahi 8

      The Arahi 8 maintains a secure ride while using softer materials than its predecessor. The secret lies in our modified H-frame™ technology. A stabilising system that combats overpronation while providing a smooth entry into the gait cycle, we’ve paired our intuitive H-frame™ with a sleek jacquard upper and low-profile tooling to deliver a streamlined stability shoe with unprecedented cushioning.

      Here’s Why You Should Eat More Avo – Starting With This Breakfast

      by

      Avocados are good for a lot more than upping the aesthetic value of your plate. They’re rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can provide slow-release energy. And these good fats help keep you fuelled for any fitness regime. Plus, they help with the absorption of some vitamins and protect your heart.

      The Health Perks Of Avo

      If you’re a fitness bunny, you should know that your post-workout recovery is just as important as your training itself.
 And avocados contain potassium (double than what’s in bananas, FYI), which helps prevent cramps and supports muscle recovery. The anti-inflammatory properties in avocados even help reduce post-exercise soreness (goodbye DOMS!).

      And if you’ve always had a gut (wink wink) feeling that avos are good for you, you would be correct! Avocados contain prebiotics and fibre to support digestive health, keeping your gut microbiome well-balanced – which can improve nutrient absorption and even support immune function.

      All of this means that you can fuel smarter, recover faster and keep your gut healthier with the power of avocados. So go on, just add an avo!

      by

      Smart has never looked this good. The new HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series doesn’t just help you hit your step count or get more sleep, it lets you style your stats, track your moods and personalise your wellness journey in a way that’s playful, beautiful and uniquely you. Whether you choose the fashion-forward HUWEI WATCH FIT 4 or the premium performance WATCH FIT 4 Pro, this series proves that wearable tech can finally live in your wardrobe and your wellness routine.

      Shop Now: Available immediately, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 comes in black, purple, white and grey from R2 999.00, or you can add it to your Vodacom, Telkom or CellC plan from just R99 per month over 36 months. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is available in iconic green, black and blue from R4 999.00, or from only R149 per month over 36 months on the same networks. T’s & C’s apply.

      Designed To Be Seen

      No bulky gym vibes here. Both watches are slim, light and look like they belong in a jewellery case. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 is just 9.5mm thin and weighs 27 grams, light enough to forget you’re wearing it. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro adds ultra-premium materials, including a titanium alloy bezel and sapphire glass, without sacrificing elegance. Both come in curated colourways that range from sleek and sporty to subtle and chic.

      A Screen That’s Made For Sunny Selfies

      The 1.82-inch AMOLED display isn’t just for checking your heart rate. It’s bright (up to 2,000 nits on WATCH FIT 4 and 3,000 nits on WATCH FIT 4 Pro), bold and totally Instagram-worthy. Every swipe, stat and notification feels smooth, crisp and colour-rich, even under full sun at a rooftop brunch.

      Sticker Your Vibe, Style Your Stats

      Huawei has completely reinvented the way you personalise your smartwatch with the new Sticker Themed Watch Faces. Choose from a library of adorable icons, emojis and layouts. You can add your own photos, crop out your bestie, pet or partner and turn that moment into a sticker. You can even pick your font, colours and layout to match your mood or manicure.

      Whether you want to see your step count with a smiley face or track your battery level with a wink, the FIT 4 Series makes wellness fun again.

      The WATCH That Reads Your Mood

      The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series also includes Huawei’s Emotional Wellbeing Assistant, a mood-monitoring feature that uses subtle body signals like HRV and breathing rate to understand how you’re feeling. Feeling low or tense? The watch notices and responds with gentle prompts or mood-boosting suggestions.

      What really makes it pop? The pet-themed dynamic watch faces. Choose a panda, cat or dog and watch them react to your emotional state throughout the day with cute, changing expressions. It’s like your smartwatch turned into a digital best friend.

      For Women, By Design

      The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series doesn’t treat women’s health like an afterthought. Alongside the basics, you get intuitive menstrual tracking and, on the WATCH FIT 4 Pro, advanced temperature-based insights that help you understand your body’s natural rhythm. It’s discreet, data-backed and designed to work around you, not the other way around.

      Style That Fits Your Life

      This watch isn’t just pretty tech. It’s packed with features that support your lifestyle. Like enhanced GPS, multiple sport modes, sleep breathing tracking, heart rate variability monitoring and even water sports route tracking. You don’t have to pick between being into fashion and being into fitness. You can absolutely do both.
