People are now looking at wireless fitness and sports devices and are more drawn to adopting a healthier lifestyle.
 
“The new iconnect range is a one-stop answer to the multiple demands of an individual and its affordable pricing allows it to be consumed by different groups ranging from enthusiastic teenagers to diligent corporates,” she added.
