It seems these days that everyone from shoemakers to computer hardware makers are getting into the wearable market. Whether you are looking for style, fitness, utility or a little bit of each, there is a wearable for you out there. The wearables market is one that took off in 2015 and is poised to explode in 2016 with Apple, Fitbit and others leading the charge.
Here is a quick rundown of some of the coolest wearables I’ve seen out there so far. As always, you can click on any image for more product details. Also, I have created a Pinterest board of these devices. I will be adding more fun devices in the future as they pop up, so if you are interested in wearables, be sure to follow that board.
Wearables, Smart Watches and Fitness Trackers
BodiMetrics Vitals Performance Monitor
The BodiMetrics vitals (ECG Heart Rate Systolic Blood Pressure Blood Oxygenation Temperature) and pedometer combined with BodiMetrics algorithms and indices provide health conscious consumers with the information needed to support a healthy lifestyle or maximize fitness regimens.
Wahoo TICKR X Workout Tracker with Memory for iPhone & Android
The TICKR X is the ultimate workout wearable that captures both motion and intensity to give you the most effective workout. Pair it with the Wahoo 7 Minute Workout app for a high-intensity circuit workout and automatic rep counting, or pair it with the Wahoo RunFit app for personalized heart rate training, cross-training, and additional high intensity strength training. Its built-in memory gives you the freedom to train without a phone – it captures heart rate, calorie burn, and duration from your workouts and syncs them to your phone later. TICKR X is compatible with most popular fitness apps, making it an incredibly versatile workout tracker for all of your activities.
UPRIGHT Posture Trainer
The UPRIGHT PRO Posture Trainer improves your posture in just two weeks using the latest habit changing wearable technology. In today’s reality, most of us find ourselves sitting slouched in front of a computer or tv set for several hours a day, what we like to call – ‘screen-slouching’. After years of slouching for such long periods of time, our muscles have weakened and some of us have even lost the ability to sit and stand in an upright position for more than a few minutes without getting sore. We return home after a long day of screen-slouching with an aching back and low self-esteem.
