It’s going to be a long hard semester and getting fit and staying fit is going to help you stay focused, feel good and most importantly, avoid getting sick. So use this month before school to get fit and stay fit! 

If the world of virtual reality is one you've been longing to explore, join me today as I consider a selection of VR headsets to help to you find your way.

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.

Samsung has released its Gear S app on the iOS App Store to enable users with the Gear S2 and Gear S3 (Frontier and Classic) smartwatches, plus the Gear Fit app for the Fit2 band, to work with the iPhone and iPad. Both are available to download now, if you want to get started.

 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.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch is a smartwatch built with some rigidity and a host of features catering to both active and lifestyle users.

I went hands-on with the HTC VIVE and VIVE PRO virtual reality headsets to help explain the differences between the two systems.

Strap a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 or Watch5 on your wrist, as they're among the only smartwatches that can measure both ECG and blood pressure.
