ELECTRIC SHADES
Just when the fitness
industry has got its head
around how to turn a fitness
watch into a fashion
accessory a new idea
emerges: rings.
“Get ready to ditch your
nana’s old gold wedding
ring,” the team behind the
Motiv Ring (don’t) boast.
But bin it you just may,
once Motiv finalises a
UK launch.
Boasting a heart rate
sensor, fitness and sleep
tracker, and a five-day
charge time, it could be
taking over the wearable
tech market by the
beginning of 2018.
TECH UPDATE:
‘Watching’ as you sleep...
Not content with trying to
get the world active one
step count at a time, Fitbit
have announced a
sideways step into the
world of medical aids.
"We'd perform a useful
service by alerting users to
the fact that they have a
problem (with sleep
apnea)," said Conor
Heneghan, Fitbit's lead
research scientist.
An interesting idea,
hopefully paired with new
designs for wearable tech
that you can sleep in.
PUT A RING ON IT
After the ‘success’ of
Google Glass,
The fitness industry
have not learned
their lesson and are
bringing out a range
of wired-up specs,
led by Salifo’s Smith
Lowdown Focus
Mpowered.
They’re due out this
Autumn...
“
Offering feedback
on various aspects
of your brain’s
activity, including the
focusing of your eye,
it does at least have
the potential to help
your athletic
endeavours.
At least they look
less creepy than the
Google Glass.
Benefits include
improved
concentration and
greater cardio and
immune health.”
