Wearable Technology

In 2015, the number one New Years resolution in Canada, as tracked by Twitter, was “get in shape,” and based on the massive increase in patrons at my gym over the past two weeks, I’m pretty confident that it’s at the top of the list again for 2016. If you too have resolved to get in shape this year and want to make sure you stick to that resolution, a wearable fitness tracker might just give you the edge you need.

Fitbit has created the latest version of its durable and no-nonsense fitness tracker backed by a stellar app and web client. Now waterproof and even more versatile the Fitbit Flex 2 is worth checking out.

An activity tracker or health tracker will help you kick off a fitness program, improve your health, and give you the data to see how active you are.

Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) made some headlines at this year’s CES, with several new products aiming to open up another dimension for content.

There are a range of Fitbit models for everyone in your family. Here's your chance to win a brand new Fitbit Ace 3 and the amazing, innovative Fitbit Sense from Best Buy.

Continuing my exploration of the immersive world of virtual reality, I had the opportunity to test the HP WMR headset and controllers.

Smartwatches are a great way to track your daily fitness and health. Today I'm taking a look at the Garmin Venu SQ2.

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.         

It began with a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 that successfully brought in over $300K in funding from more than 1,700 backers. Since then, it has become a major competitor in the emerging smart watch market. I’m talking about the MetaWatch STRATA, and I recently had an opportunity to take one for a test drive. 

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.
