Best 3 Uses for Wearable Tech (More Are Coming)

 

Wearable technology is a growing trend and the uses for these gadgets are doubling by the day.

Good Wearables has put together a list of the top 3 ways to use wearable tech.

1. Activity Tracker (of course) – activity trackers are mostly used for fitness to track heart rate, calorie consumption and rate of burning off calories through walking and running.

Look:

You can also use them for monitoring your heart while you sleep.

They come in many styles that can be worn as a wristband, necklace, attached to your collar or even inside your footwear.

Many are very stylish and the data can be accessed via a website or by a cell phone app.

Aside from fitness, they are used for monitoring baby movement and breathing, healthcare such as monitoring blood pressure and there are even wearables for your pets.

2. Smart Watch – smart watches have similar uses to activity trackers but are really more of an extension of your mobile device.

Popular brands such as Apple and Samsung have smart watches that integrate extremely well with their cell phone software (IOS and Android) via blue-tooth.

The devices are worn like a watch around the wrist and can be used for sending and receiving text messages, making and answering calls, and even installing and playing games.

Think of them as part of your cell phone worn around your wrist:

The options for smart watches are amazing and there are even smart watches now from many of the premium watch makers.

3. Wearable Camera – wearable cameras have really become hot devices lately because of their use for recording videos of sports and outdoor activities which have gone viral on YouTube and social networks.

Wearable cameras come in many flavors:

They can be worn as sunglasses, with the camera embedded into the frames.

And they can be worn strapped to the head or attached to a helmet or hat.

Many of the new devices offer HD video, High Res cameras, WiFi, USB and Micro SD storage.

They can also be controlled via a cell phone app. And they are rugged and can be enclosed in a waterproof container for underwater movie making.
