Future Wearable Technology

Wearable technology is exploding. So why is it all so ugly?

The first annual FashioNXT Wearable Technology Contest, presented by Digital Trends in partnership with Nike, Intel, and Project Runway, concluded last week in Portland, Ore. Through the contest, we sought to push the boundaries of wearable tech, merging fashion with features to avoid the chunky, sometimes preposterous designs that characterize nearly all contemporary wearable tech.

The winning entry, by 20-year-old Pratt industrial design student Dillon Chen, is nothing you’d ever wear. But it’s emblematic of where wearables could go. “I wasn’t trying to be super creative or anything,” Chen told me. “It just happened.”

Pebble Steel Review

Here are compilation of pebble steel review from trusted sources:

Pebble Steel Review on CNET:
The Good A classic, sharp-looking design; works with iPhones and Android phones; screen readable in bright daylight; swim- and shower-friendly; built-in pedometer for persistent fitness tracking; wide variety of quirky apps.
The Bad Older technology compared to competition; onboard storage limited to eight apps at a time; still requires charging twice a week; lacks heart-rate monitor or more advanced fitness features.
The Bottom Line The competition is advancing fast, but the fashionable, functional, and more affordable Pebble Steel's conservative approach puts it at the top of the 2014 smartwatch heap.

All About Nike Fuel Band

Here is nike fuel band review from engadget.com:

Nike FuelBand SE review: more social features, much longer battery life. Nike's new FuelBand is now out, and following a few weeks of running in parks, walking around exhibition halls and the occasional all-out exercise session, well, I'm pretty tired. Fortunately, I only needed to charge Nike's new wearable once in my first eight days of use. Indeed, that's the main benefit to Nike's Second Edition (SE) FuelBand: thanks to an energy-efficient Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) radio, it promises much-improved battery life over its predecessor. When it comes to the physical hardware, however, its appearance has barely changed since 2012, save for three new color options (and a highfalutin' Rose Gold one). Its fitness-tracking capabilities haven't changed either, although Nike has promised improvements in accuracy and a better ability to sense when you're attempting to game the FuelBand.
