These tiny arm accessories are fully functional and can book accommodations on Booking.com and read travel reviews, as per Travel + Leisure. The Apple Watch will also help you communicate as it is equipped with iTranslate, a translation tool for 90 languages. It also lets you view bus schedules as well as real-time gate information for your flights, according to Business Insider.

The Apple Watch also has your back when it comes to ease of travel with Uber and Hailo apps, allowing you to hire a car easily with just a tap on your arm candies. It also has several apps, such as the Citymapper and Transit, that guide public transportation.

This means that wherever you go, whether in the U.S. or abroad, you'll never be out of touch.

The Galaxy Note 5 has a unique "long screenshot" function, which is particularly useful in places with slow data. It enables the phone to cache long pages (e.g., restaurant, hotel or tourist spot lists) with graphics.

Also, one of the most special features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is its ability to take photos or notes directly from the screen-off mode, letting you capture extremely quick moments or jot down important things without unlocking your phone.
