Wearable Technology

Fitbit has emerged as one of the most well-known names in the fitness tracker/wearable market these days. The company offers a range of different devices designed to help you keep on top of things like the number of steps you take in a day, the calories you burn, distances travelled and more. Well, let’s add one more gadget to that growing device list, as we take a first look at the company’s new offering, a smartwatch/fitness tracker combo called The Fitbit Blaze.

I went hands-on with the HTC VIVE and VIVE PRO virtual reality headsets to help explain the differences between the two systems.

The Suunto Spartan Trainer is a GPS fitness watch with on-board heart rate monitoring. It looks great, is easy to use, and offers you a wide variety of activities to track.

Pebble 2 Smartwatch serves as a health tracker packaged as a fashionable accessory.

Recently I played holochess, led troops into battle, and duelled lightsaber style with Darth Vader with Lenovo's Star Wars Jedi Challenges.

The HTC Vive is one of the most anticipated virtual reality (VR) headsets to come to market this year, and the final build was on display and available to try out on the show floor at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. I can say that the unit should be ready for primetime when it officially launches in April.

One of my favourite summer activities is grabbing my clubs and heading to the driving range (and then complaining about how sore I am the next day). I don’t golf on a full course much. I wasn’t blessed with the greatest short game, and to call my putting atrocious would be an understatement. However, I’m keen to get back out on a course just to try some of the new golf wearables out there. From swing coaching to a GPS watch that tells you how far you are from the green, there’s a helpful wearable waiting for you to take for a spin this golf season.

Debra here, strapping on some more wearable technology! This fitness train cannot be stopped!! This week, it’s the Garmin Forerunner 10 watch. This impressive device is for those who run without being chased, without an oncoming Indiana Jones boulder and/or avalanche—those who actually ENJOY running.  So what did I do with it?  Read on to find out:

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. Most of today's fitness trackers are wristwatch-style ones, but did you know that there are quite a few fitness trackers that don't have to be worn on the wrist at all?

We all hold Kickstarter and crowdfunding in such dear light, and one of the early successes of the model was the Cookoo Smartwatch.  Unfortunately, the first watch left a few things to be desired.  A few months later, the second generation is out, adding a lot of the missing pieces from the first and more (like better water resistance) while keeping it all at an afforable price.  Come check out how this watch stacks up!
