Smart watches and more

The Smart Watch and Fitbit Charge 2, simply fit on your wrist like an ordinary watch and monitor your heart rate, steps taken and location through GPS tracking. They connect to your mobile phone to provide detailed information like estimated calories burned, time at peak heart rate and how much more exercise you need to reach a weekly target. Basically, they bring notifications and calls from the iPhone screen and track your physical activity. There is also independent GPS for location services and an LTE (Long Term Evolution) model. Beyond the Apple Watch, the Google Wear OS is the equivalent for Android phone users. There are several slimline watches available which are perfect for both men and women.

What does LTE mean?

LTE is short for Long Term Evolution, and in really simple terms, LTE devices are equipped for being in a mobile network connection on their own. Bluetooth smart wearables depend on your mobile to connect to the internet, receive notifications and send texts, whereas LTE gadgets come with modems & antennas which provide direct access to cellular networks. This fact means there are definite benefits over Bluetooth-only intelligent wristwatches.

What are the main benefits of LTE?

Portability is real benefit provided by an LTE wristwatch. You do not have to have your smartphone with you everywhere you go for connection purposes. LTE watches are capable of linking to music streams and can send and receive texts on their own. Some models, such as the Galaxy Watch LTE model can make and receive calls as well. This sounds like the next logical step of technology advancing.

Fitness trackers

Fitness trackers remain very popular with people who are serious about monitoring their health and fitness. Heart rate, steps and estimated calorie burn give excellent indications of how your health regime is progressing. They are ideal if you just want the basics rather than the super-advanced metrics delivered by sports watches, or if a mini-smartphone like the ever-popular Apple watch is not for you. The battery life they provide is also longer than smartphones, so you can be out getting fitter, for longer.

What are the benefits of sports watches?

If you are passionate about your sports and want to monitor your fitness or advanced data regarding a specific sport then a sports watch is probably the item for you. Cycling, running, swimming and even golf can benefit from a dedicated sports watch. All these devices should have GPS with heart-rate tracking and other associated insights. The advanced data they provide can really help improve your performance, and take your training up a level.

VR

VR headsets such as the PlayStation VR help you block out the rest of the world and help you settle into a new one. They are connected to a PC/games console and deliver a computer-generated virtual reality. This fools your brain in to thinking you are somewhere else and you react accordingly. Good quality VR will give you fantastic, memorable experiences. If you want to experiment with VR, you can insert your smartphone into a Google Cardboard headset which are usually less than twenty pounds. For another, more expensive trial, Google Daydream and Samsung Gear VR headsets offer fantastic quality for less than one hundred pounds, while the Oculus Go offers an affordable virtual reality experience, free from a smartphone and a PC.
