Samsung announced a handful of new products at its virtual Unpacked livestream, starting with the Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live.

 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.

Yesterday, Google held a three hour-long keynote at its I/O 2014 developer conference. We posted the run-down so you wouldn’t have to watch the entire thing. While some of the presentation like Cloud Debugging was a little dry (unless you happen to be a developer in the cloud app business), one section stood out: Android Wear. We’ve heard about this Android for smartwatches before of course, but at Google I/O 2014 we saw the system in action and even better, saw some of those amazing Android Wear devices that have been hinted at. The LG G watch in particular got substantial stage time. Android Wear is real, it looks fantastic and it’s coming soon!

Fitbit offers a range of wearable fitness tracking solutions. The Fitbit Ionic smartwatch, the Fitbit Charge 2 and the Fitbit Flex 2 represent three great choices for anyone needing fitness and health tracking.

Ever since the very first Fitbit took the wearables market by storm, there have been fitness trackers and smart wearables cropping up by the dozen.

Here are some other incredible ways it can be used.

If you’re looking to take control of your health and fitness, the Suunto 3 Fitness smartwatch is a great place to start. Here is my review of this new player in the smartwatch game.
