Wearable Technology

From smart eyewear to wristbands and smart bracelets, wearable gadgets have moved beyond fancy prototypes and firmly established themselves as an evolving product category. Choose from a wide selection of options, including fitness trackers with heart rate monitors, smartglasses that provide on-the-spot notifications and touchscreen smartwatches with built-in music players.

Touch Screen Smartwatch Improves Communication Functionality

Touch screen smartwatches provide easy access to some smartphone applications while also recording sensor data, such as sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring. Many watches offer Bluetooth® connectivity, enabling you to receive new notifications, such as calls, messages, alerts or calendar events, without needing to hold and view your phone. Some gadget wearables have the NFC feature to allow you to make cashless payments. Others have a headphone jack port, which enables you to connect compatible earphones so you can listen to music while working out. The vibration feature makes them easily noticeable while alerting you to notifications. Smartwatches may also offer LTE cellular capabilities, allowing you to make calls and send texts with your smartwatch, even if you do not have your smartphone nearby. There's even a waterproof smartwatch for monitoring swimming workouts.

Smart Eyewear Offers Better Virtual Reality Viewing

Smart glasses offer a hands-free and on-the-spot display within your field of view, so you can read messages and notifications without looking at your phone or tablet. Some models even come with adjustable filters that control the amount of brightness coming though the lenses, making them wearable when it's bright outdoors. These wearable gadgets also have voice-command and gesture-sensitive features, allowing you to control the smart glasses by tapping, touching, or swiping controls built into the frame. Smartglasses may come with built-in batteries that run for hours, or feature a micro-SD slot for expandable storage. Most glasses pair seamlessly with app-enabled-products to enable hands-free recording of audios, images and videos.

Fitness Trackers Monitor and Track Outdoor Sports Activities

Get more out of your workouts with the right accessory. You can wear fitness trackers on the ear, wrist or chest to monitor sports activities, such as running distance, pulse rate, speed and a range of other fitness metrics. Most trackers provide a heart rate feature to help you monitor the number of calories you're burning in a day, giving you a clearer insight into your daily eating routine and workouts. Some activity trackers integrate with smartphones to provide a record of your daily activity. Others feature a timer function that lets you set the alarm for a set interval, especially when doing workout activities. Trackers with an exercise recognition feature automatically log your workout without you having to access it manually, so you can dive right into a workout. If you enjoy swimming or water sports, consider getting a waterproof smartwatch.  Many models come with built-in sensors that allow you to monitor EKG data even when in water, giving you more freedom to focus on your workout and exercise at your ideal fat-burning zone.
