Healbe GoBe Claims to Read Glucose Levels Through Skin

Healbe GoBe Claims to Read Glucose Levels Through Skin

Most fitness tracker wrist bands show a (bad) estimate of calories expended, based on how much you move. Healby's GoBe,  an IndieGoGo project, does that, but also claims to track caloric intake and expenditure by monitoring your glucose levels through your skin. The GoBe's wristband is admittedly not svelte, but it does a lot: monitor movement, track blood pressure and heart … [Read more...]

Fitbit for Dogs, But Where’s the Geo Capability?

Fitbit for Dogs, But Where’s the Geo Capability?

We should probably state right at the start at we at Wearable Tech Insider are not particularly dog people, although we totally respect those who are. And so it would be wrong for us to make fun of a product like Whistle, which is a fitness tracker for Fido (an uncommon name with an interesting history that you probably don't know. But we digress...). Whistle does what … [Read more...]

Oakley’s Just Getting Started in Wearables

March 4, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

There's a solid adrenaline-soaked profile of Oakley's efforts in the wearables space written up in Stuff magazine's website. Execs brag that the Airwave HUD goggle is just the start of what they're planning (and not really the start either: Oakley says it started with wearables in 2004 with its Thump MP3 glasses frame). On the one hand, the Airwave is just a good Oakley … [Read more...]

TechCrunch Says Basis is Selling to Intel. We Have Our Doubts. (Update)

March 4, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

Late last night, TechCrunch posted a story saying that Basis -- the heart monitor wristwear company -- was selling itself to Intel for $100 million. We suspect that the reality is a bit more complicated. At Mobile World Congress last week, we heard and spoke to a bunch of high-ranking Intel execs. We had the opportunity to ask Intel president Renee James about upcoming Intel … [Read more...]

Moto Teases A Pretty Wearable, But Not Much Else

February 27, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

Motorola, in a state of continual change for the last few years, says it's going to ship a pretty wearable. We don't know anything else about it -- like what it might do. Or when it might ship. Or what it might cost. We just have a promise that it'll look nice. The device part of Moto, one of the great brands in technology since the first car radio, was sold to Google in … [Read more...]

Hands-On With the Samsung Gear 2s and Gear Fit

Hands-On With the Samsung Gear 2s and Gear Fit

As promised, Samsung unveiled the new Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo tonight at Mobile World Congress, along with a surprise: a sports band that fits neatly into its ecosystem. The new products, frankly, are lots better than we'd expected -- and vastly improved from last year's initial versions. (There also was the Galaxy 5 smartphone, a nifty piece of gear. But it's not wearable in … [Read more...]

Vuzix Looks Ahead: Hands-on With Prototypes

Vuzix Looks Ahead: Hands-on With Prototypes

We've already written lots about Vuzix: how it's focusing on enterprise and industry instead of the consumer market, how it's the first actual commercially shipping eyewear wearable. Nothing in this business stands still, though, and Vuzix continues to move ahead. We caught up with CEO Paul Travers at Mobile World Congress. One new product the company's showing is a thin … [Read more...]

Omate Shows Off the Million-Dollar TrueSmart Wristwear

Omate Shows Off the Million-Dollar TrueSmart Wristwear

We caught up Sunday with Laurent LePen, the CEO of Omate, at Mobile World Congress. He was showing off the first production models of the million-dollar Kickstarter project TrueSmart watch. Omate raised a million dollars for the TrueSmart on KickStarter, and the plan is to ship within a couple of months. The watch looks pretty chunky, about the size of one of those old … [Read more...]

Samsung Updates Its Little-Loved Gear to Gear 2

February 23, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

Samsung Updates Its Little-Loved Gear to Gear 2

The Samsung Gear was one of the most derided pieces of wearable tech of 2013. So the Korean tech giant went back to the drawing board with the wristwear and revised it to be pretty much more of the same. We need to say this up front: we haven't clapped eyes or even hands on the Gear 2 or the more plastic Gear 2 Neo. It was introduced Sunday in the run-up to Mobile World … [Read more...]

Cuff Tries Making Gear That Women Would Actually Wear

Cuff Tries Making Gear That Women Would Actually Wear

The gang at Cuff just launched some fashion-oriented tech gear that's both functional and attractive. What a concept -- and they pull it off well. The collection consists of five  bracelets, a key chain, a sports bracelet, and two pendant necklaces. All of them contain a small piece of electronics called a CuffLink. Prices range from $30 to $120, and the CuffLink can be … [Read more...]
