Wearable Technology

Introducing Garmin new fitness tracker the Vivosmart. The Vivosmart is a build up from Garmin’s previous activity tracker the Vivofit. I have tested my fair share of fitness bands, and the Vivosmart has all the features that other fitness bands have but with a touch screen, it has various additional features that differentiate it from others that i’ll discuss in this preview.         

2015 is living up to expectations as an exciting time for smartwatch fans. We’re seeing Android Wear smartwatches hit their stride, the Apple Watch is due out in a matter of weeks and now Pebble—the company that really helped kick off the whole thing—is back with an exciting new model. Pebble Time was just announced, offering everything we love about the original Pebble and Pebble Steel (including that amazing battery life), while adding a colour display!

A smartwatch is designed to make it easier to keep track of your digital life, both as an extension of your smartphone and a complement to your activity.

Besides looking like a million bucks on your wrist, the Fitbit Alta is one of the easiest-to-use fitness trackers I’ve ever tried. If you’re in the market for a new fitness tracker, here’s why you should take a look the Fitbit Alta.

The Galaxy Watch4 Classic is a change in direction for Samsung smartwatches, and may be a good one if you’re an Android user seeking something different.

Samsung doesn’t give up easily, it seems. The company has repeatedly tried and tried again to create a winner in the wearables category, only to achieve mixed results. The Gear Fit2 isn’t a smartwatch, but rather a fitness band that can sort of act like a smartwatch because of its large screen and litany of features.

I discovered so many amazing gadgets, including VR headsets, tech toys, audio tech, and more at Best Buy's Life and Tech show—come see what I tried!

Using a fitness band is the only way to truly get the most out of it, so by slimming down in size, adding a heart rate monitor and improving tracking and battery life, Fitbit may have hit a solid mix with the Alta HR.

Apple Watch allows access individual apps and Siri, which can control specific functions thanks to the HomeKit Standard.

Why should your child wear a kid's fitness tracker? These trackers make it easy to keep your child active and keep them mindful of daily activity.
