Health Trackers
and Smart Watches are everywhere. You can walk into a room without noticing these
items inhabiting the arms of thousands of people across the fruited plain. It has been about five years since these items
were introduced to the public and the fad
has turned into a trend that still seems unstoppable. In fact, it appears these
devices are replacing regular watches as the de facto timepiece. This trend will grow as long as computing power grows, size
shrinks, devices improve, and the prices drop. It seems that there is no end in
sight to the number of people adopting activity trackers and smartwatches. This
is especially true for health conscious and athletic individuals. In this episode
of Working the Web to Win, we will delve into the latest and greatest activity/health
trackers and smartwatches. There is considerable
overlap between many of these devices, and
this article will endeavor to help you understand the differences. So, roll up your
sleeves Dick Tracy and take a gander at your wrists as we take a close look at the
latest and greatest Smart Watches and Activity Trackers.
