LG LifeBand Touch
The first of its kind from the South Korean company, the LG LifeBand Touch is a smart activity tracker that monitors your heart rate while exercising. It can be wirelessly linked to the LG’s Heart Rate earphones to create a wearable ecosystem. Compatible with only Android and iOS, these devices can transmit data to your smartphone through the LG Fitness app. The LifeBand itself has a OLED touchscreen to display time, biometrics, incoming calls and music controls. A built-in 3-axis accelerometer and altimeter tracks your distance, speed, number of steps, calories consumed and projected pace. You can turn the display on by simply rotating your wrist.

Garmin VivoFit
A company known for its GPS devices might seem a bit odd in the fitness arena, but considering how good the company’s products usually are, we thought we’d check in on the Garmin VivoFit. The VivoFit has a super-simple display where you can quickly glance at how many steps you’ve taken, distance travelled, calories burned and time of day. VívoFit learns your current activity level and assigns an attainable daily goal for you every day. The VivoFit is perfect for those who’re aware of the risks of a sedentary lifestyle. If you sit around for too long, the VivoFit will show you a red bar and make sure you walk for a couple of minutes to make the red alert go away.
