15 Valentine's Day Tech Gifts We Love

Last-Minute Valentine's Day Tech Gifts

Valentine's Day -- it's a day of romance, chocolate and ... technology? Maybe not for most, but for some techies, receiving a fitness tracker or digital photo frame means much more than a bouquet of roses. And if that person happens to be your special partner, you may be getting a little anxious as Valentine's Day nears.

Luckily, CRN has you covered with our comprehensive list of gadgets for techies. Following are 15 gizmos we're loving as gifts for Valentine's Day.

FitBit Flex

If your favorite pastime with your Valentine include long walks on the beach or romantic hikes, a FitBit Flex will take your dates one step further.

With a five-day battery life, this rubber band automatically collects and syncs data so that users can review their exercise and sleep in progress charts straight from their phones. The waterproof Flex also comes in a handful of colors, from dark blue to bright pink.

At $99, the Flex is relatively inexpensive compared with the rest of FitBit's products, and can be purchased on FitBit's website or at select retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods. If you're looking for a discount, check out Groupon, which currently has a limited 40 percent discount deal on the Flex.
