Activity Trackers

We have definitely come a long way from the pedometer and into the tech and application developments of devices that are close to rivaling what the monitoring systems hospitals use. If you wear a watch, the Basis B1 Band is a great choice. Not only does the display default to show you the time in large, easy-to-read numbers, it’s a sleek, modern-looking device that actually looks like a watch. In addition to offering you hard data about your nocturnal movements and metabolism, the Basis tracks habits or goals such as waking up or going to bed at the same time every day, torching more calories or getting up from your chair to move around for a certain amount of time during the work day. As you do better meeting such goals, the Basis lets you unlock more of them, so you’re constantly in improvement mode. The Misfit Shine is a quarter-sized, futuristic-looking device you can wear on your clothing, on a sport or leather band on your wrist or as a necklace. It’s a beautiful device made by Misfit Wearables. Within the Shine iPhone app, you determine what activity level you’re aiming for and earn points according to how well you perform meeting that goal. So what is holding you back?
