Wearable Technology

For most of us with office jobs, we don’t get up out of our desks a lot. Worse yet, we experience a lot of stressful situations that can cause more harm than good to our bodies. Fortunately, there’s a new wearable upcoming that looks to provide all-natural stress relief through the simple act of better breathing. Meet Prana. It’s small, it’s new and it’s coming soon to Best Buy.

For the past week, I’ve been rocking a new accessory on my left wrist – the Jaybird Reign Activity Tracker. Introduced earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Reign goes above and beyond what other activity trackers offer by encouraging balance and prompting those who wear it to improve their habits. It tells you when you need more sleep, when you need to take it easy, and when you are your optimal self, and I recently got a chance to take one for a test drive. Here’s my take after wearing Reign 24/7 for one week.

2015 brought a real shift to what wearable technology did for its users. No longer just a step and calorie tracker, we were introduced to wearables that did everything from help measure your golf swings, hiking elevation and even break apart and analyze your deep and light sleep. What does 2016 have in store and how does it look to improve your day to day life? Read on to find out more.
