Wearable Technology

 The Merge VR is virtual reality with an openness that is easy to appreciate, yet with limitations that keep it well within the entry-level realm. Compatible with a number of different iOS and Android smartphones, this is a headset that doesn’t require much to get involved, nor any real past experience to enjoy some of what it has to offer.

 Smartwatches and fitness wearables offer many cool features and benefits including the ability to track our health, heart rate and activity which can help anyone get a grip on their progress. Sleep tracking, or the ability to measure the amount and quality of sleep is equally as important since it focuses on how our body recovers and repairs itself.

 2016 is going to be the most exciting year for the wearable yet. We’ve already seen brands like Fitbit improving their brand by putting all of their new features forward. We’re going to have wearables that help us de-stress by encouraging better breathing and then there’s Microsoft Band 2. The Microsoft Band 2 looks to go above and beyond its competition by offering features that nobody else does. In addition to the usual run of notifications and trackers, Band 2 is the first wearable that flexes to offer help with your sleep, on the golf course and in the gym in the same package.

Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes, but for the most part they all feel very familiar: weird connected to charge them, big bulky shapes for heart rate monitoring, and a sporty, plastic look. There’s one brand that’s gone in a different direction, however: Misfit. Focusing on attractive, fashionable hardware with smart fitness and sleep tracking, Misfit has brought a number of products to market. The latest, the Misfit Ray, wound up on my doorstep a few weeks ago. I took it for a test run (and lift, and nap). Here’s what I found out about the Misfit Ray Fitness and Sleep tracker.

It took me ten seconds to open my Misfit Shine 2, ten minutes to set it up and fully customize it, and ten hours to fall completely, utterly in love with it.  

Besides looking like a million bucks on your wrist, the Fitbit Alta is one of the easiest-to-use fitness trackers I’ve ever tried. If you’re in the market for a new fitness tracker, here’s why you should take a look the Fitbit Alta.

Golf can be a frustrating game.  Why not get all the help you can, by grabbing some new golf technology? Garmin has just released three new golfing gadgets that can help you keep track of your game and make improvements too. From a swing sensor, to the score tracking abilities of a sleek golf watch, help for your game is as close as your wrist and your smartphone.

Pebble’s latest entry is aimed squarely at those who want full smartwatch functionality, but don’t like the idea of a big, bulky wearable strapped to their wrist. I spent several weeks with the Pebble Time Round and it not only lives up to the billing of being the sleekest smartwatch out there, with Pebble’s continually expanding app store and accessories' it’s a very capable one as well.
