I enjoy wearing things around my wrist, especially when playing golf, but I have been amazed by the success of the latest device, the PowerBalance bangle which you wear on your arm and which apparently then gives you better balance and strength via holograms.

Interestingly enough, and I doubt there is any way of proving that having a hologram on your wrist will give you better balance and strength, it has achieved worldwide endorsements from pro sports players, golfers, Formula 1 drivers and there are huge numbers of successful business people and others in South Africa who are now wearing them.

What I do find even more fascinating is that the bangles retail for $20 in America or R140,00 and are freely available on Amazon at that price, if not lower, but in South Africa they cost R500,00. One hopes that with the South African version, although it is presumably manufactured in the same place, you get extra strength and balance!
