Wearable Technology

  Though there are many activity and step counters available on the market, the Polar Loop is one of the few to be compatible with a heart rate monitor. I had the opportunity to test the Polar Loop with the Polar H7 Heart Rate Sensor and here’s what I thought:

 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.

Sometimes two products work together so well that they mesh into an extension of one another and become that much better than either is on its own. Each might be pretty cool, but together, they becomes something special. That’s the case with Samsung’s Galaxy S5 smartphone and its Galaxy Fit fitness band. I had a week to try out these Samsung flagship devices and came away impressed with how well the two combine into what’s currently one of the best experiences out there for someone with an active, connected lifestyle.
