There have been other so-called “smart umbrellas” released, but Jonas by Fantastik looks like the smartest one yet. This umbrella connects to a smartphone through an app over Bluetooth. It will give you alerts if you left the umbrella behind and the umbrella will vibrate if you’ve left your phone unattended somewhere.
It will even download weekly weather forecast for you, and alerts you of incoming calls, messages and emails. Those are cool features, but it has more going for it. It’s made from premium pongee cloth, and comes with a strong aluminum handle. That means Jonas is going to last you a long long time.
You can pre-order yours from MiNDEPA or directly through the Fantastik store for ¥10,778 (~ $105USD)
