The newly released Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch gives users several of the basic functions of modern smartphones in a conventiently small package, even if it may take a while for the public to get used to the sight of them being used.
"This is a whole new category of technology that Samsung hope will compliment the smartphones that people already use, and will allow them to save huge amounts of time by not bothering to pull them out of their pockets every time they vibrate with an email," says Matt Warman, The Telegraph's Head of Technology.
The Polar Loop is the latest fitness tracker that has been designed to be worn daily, taking on the likes of Nike's Fuelband and the Samsung Galaxy Gear
Polar has unveiled the Polar Loop, a fitness tracker that can be worn around the wrist and will act as a smart bracelet accurately tracking five different levels of activity and sharing the information with your iPhone or Android smartphone.
Loop will show you everything you need to know through a scrolling display on the top, it'll track calories, steps and can even alert you through your iPhone if you've not been moving enough that day.
Integrating its expertise in advanced health monitoring, Polar have designed the Loop to work with its own H6 and H7 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensors which means you'll get even more detailed information about your fitness.
With fitness and technology becoming more and more interconnected Polar will face stiff competition from the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart Watch and the Nike Fuelband, both of which are able to track your fitness.
There's no word on pricing but Polar plans to give the Loop a rough release date of early 2014.
