Wearable Technology

I have been using a Misfit Shine for the past three months. It uses a three-axis accelerometer to measure motion, and keep track of your daily physical activity. But key to the Shine is its mobile app. Shine only works with its own app for now, though the company is looking to open up its API. But that’s OK, because there’s a ton of coolness packed into the Shine app.

Samsung announced a handful of new products at its virtual Unpacked livestream, starting with the Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live.

The Monster Clarity 8.0 are solid earbuds that feature ANC, fast charging, and up to 50 hours of use with a fully charged case. Are they right for you?

If you can get an extra lift from an exoskeleton, would you consider wearing one to help restore some physical movement?

Samsung comes back to market again with its latest smartwatch, the Gear S3, a model that comes in two distinct versions: the Frontier and Classic. This review focuses on the Frontier, which is the active and fully-loaded of the two, thanks to a rugged design and new features that make it pretty robust.

Google has been involved in wearables going back to 2014, and yet, the Pixel Watch is the first smartwatch the company has actually made.

 Smartwatches haven’t just changed the way we look at timepieces in terms of extensions of our smartwatch technology, they’ve also disrupted the fashion aspect by offering different bands, bracelets and making it easy for users themselves to change their watch bands for different occasions.

All you need to do is look at the Garmin Venu 2 Plus to recognize this isn’t like its other smartwatches, and that’s not a bad thing.

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.

The Pebble watch pairs with your smartphone to run apps right from your wrist. See that important email or text or who is is calling without having to pull your phone out.
