If you are completely addicted to your phone and being connected to everyone at all times, this smartphone notification wearable will be right up your alley. Ditto is a vibrating clip-on device that lets you know when your phone gets an alert if you can't have your phone on you. As the wearable technology is waterproof, this means you can wear it in the pool or in the shower and still know what's going on.
