Earlier this month, Fitbit announced the launch of the latest addition to its lineup of activity trackers—the Fitbit Alta. Essentially an updated version of the Fitbit Flex wristband, the Alta comes equipped with a number of next-generation Fitbit features, including automatic exercise recognition, on-screen call, text and calendar alerts, and much more.

What is all the fuss about Spritz? If you were using a Spritz-enabled app, you would already have read to the end of this post and could tell us. But given that Spritz-enabled tech isn’t out there yet (it’s coming soon, though), here’s the scoop. Spritz is new speed reading technology that’s based on the theory that much of our time spent reading is wasted as our eyes move side to side. Display a word in one place, flash one word at a time and suddenly reading becomes much more efficient. Not only that, but by displaying just one word at a time, reading is suddenly possible on compact displays, like a smartphone or smartwatch. Being able to quickly (and painlessly) read e-mail, reports or even books on your Gear2 or Gear Neo suddenly makes the idea of wearable technology even more appealing.
