Oppo Band review: Oppo’s first fitness wearable fails to captivate
Oppo's first fitness wearable enters a crowded market, tempting us with a low price and plenty of health-tracking features, but is that enough to win us over?
Amazon Halo review: Affordable but questionable fitness band
Amazon's affordable Halo fitness band offers unique features not seen on other fitness wearables, but some of these metrics raise serious privacy concerns.
Garmin Quatix 6 Review: So much more than a boat watch
The Garmin Quatix 6 has all the same functionality of the Fenix 6 Pro, with a different look that’s just as classy on a boat as it is on the trail or the gym.
Samsung Gear Fit review
We review the Gear Fit, Samsung’s attempt to merge a fitness band with a smartwatch. Sadly, it doesn’t perform either function particularly well.
Withings BPM Core Review: Two out of three is just OK
Withings BPM Core is the world's first blood pressure monitor to include an ECG and a digital stethoscope. Being the first is not always the best and, unfortunately, the BPM Core broke my heart by failing to deliver on one of the device's key metrics. It's also expensive at $250.
Halo View review: An affordable Fitbit alternative
Amazon took the best features of the original Halo band, stripped out the controversial ones, and created a top-performing yet affordable Fitbit alternative.
Garmin Vector 3 smart pedals review: Data to make your head spin
These Vector 3 pedals bring an amazing amount of accurate information to riders in a neat and easy-to-use package backed by Garmin's strong reputation.
Fi GPS dog collar review: Finding Fido
With three-month battery life and a super compact design, the Fi GPS dog collar is discreet enough to slip on your pooch and forget about. Until you really need it. Our full review takes a look at battery life, range, and pricing compared to the alternatives.
TomTom Spark 3 review
There’s no shortage of fitness trackers and sports watches by any means, but that does not prevent TomTom from having another shot at its popular Spark line with the Spark 3.
Casio G-Shock GBA-800 review
Is there still a place for a simple activity tracker? Casio has shown there is, provided it looks nothing like a basic fitness band at all. This is the GBA-800, a watch in the classic G-Shock style with activity tracking technology inside. We’ve been wearing it.
Fitbit Charge 3 review: Jack of all trades
Fitbit’s latest wearable is part fitness tracker, part smartwatch. Building on the Fitbit Charge 2, the Charge 3 has a sleeker look and more capabilities, for $150. We take a closer look at what the Charge 3 has to offer once it’s strapped to your wrist.
Withings Connect review: Easy blood pressure monitoring
Withings is back at it again taking bland medical devices and transforming them into stylish, portable companions to monitor your health. The Withings Connect is exactly that. We used it everywhere -- even the doctor's office. It's so easy and accurate I almost couldn't stop using it.
Nike+iPod Sport Kit Review
Nike and Apple have created the perfect combination, an exercise kit that works with your iPod nano to provide you with music and an exercise program.
Nike+ SportWatch GPS Review
Review: The Nike+ SportWatch GPS caters to casual runners with loads of options for tracking and monitoring runs rolled into a sporty design.
Garmin fenix Review
Smart watches and wrist-based fitness tech are all the rage, but few can match the Garmin fenix when it comes to pure functionality. Hikers, bikers, fishermen and more can all benefit from this device, but prepare to grapple with the instructions first.
FitBit Flex review
The Flex is the latest addition to Fitbit's popular line of wearable tech, but it's best for those more interested in the "wearable" part of that equation.
Under Armour39 Review
Under Armour leaps into the fitness tech space with a modified version of its E39 shirt concept that will have you exercising like you're in one of the company's loud, sweaty commercials.
Basis B1 Review
The proliferation of fitness technology means we have more ways than ever to measure how active we are. Basis enters this fray with some unique technology, but does that change the equation on effectiveness?
Wahoo Fitness RFLKT Review
Fitness' new cycling computer is a lot like the coming deluge of smartwatches, in that it serves to simply display data your phone produces. This is a great idea, but the execution isn't reliable just yet.
Nike+ Fuelband SE review
Nike’s improved Fuelband SE tracks your daily exercise like its popular predecessor, but features better sensors, Bluetooth 4.0, and new features like hourly movement reminders.
Misfit Shine review
We review the new Misfit Shine, a fitness tracker that can go on your wrist, shoe, or be worn like a necklace. How does it stack up against the burgeoning masses of fitness bands?
Sony SmartBand with Core review
The Smartband is Sony’s entry into the growing smart wristband market. However, rather than simply track your activity levels, it lets you bookmark special moments in your life, just like a digital diary.
Zackees turn-signal gloves review
With ultra-bright LED arrows on the back of each hand, Zackees turn-signal gloves let cyclists signal their moves before they make them -- and be seen.
Fitbit One review
Want to track your fitness without rocking a brightly colored, plastic bracelet 24/7? Fitbit might have just what you’re looking for in the One.
Spree Fitness Monitor review
The Spree headband monitors heart rate and body temperature from the middle of your forehead, where it’s both conspicuous and uncomfortable.
Sensoria Fitness Sports Bra + Heart Rate Monitor review
Irritated by the restrictive chest straps on typical heart-rate monitors. Sensoria's clever sports bra has them built right in.
SensoGlove review
Slip on the SensoGlove and it will keep tabs on how tightly or loosely you’re holding your golf club – and help you learn to get it just right by sounding an alarm when you step outside optimal levels.
LG Lifeband Touch Activity Tracker review
LG gets in on the fitness game with the Lifeband Touch, an activity tracker similar to Nike’s FuelBand that tracks steps, controls your music, and even sends notifications from your phone to your wrist.
Withings Pulse O2 review
The Withings Pulse O2 fitness tracker can be worse as either a watch or a belt clip, and tracks all the usual metrics, plus your heart rate and blood-oxygen concentration.
Runtastic Orbit Review
The Runtastic Orbit might be entering a crowded field, but it stands out with interesting features - waterproofing and ambient light sensor principle among them - and plenty of promise.
Goccia Fitness Tracker review
Do fitness trackers have to be chunky, ugly wristbands suitable only for burly men? No, they don’t and G-Wearables has come up with the Goccia - claimed to be the world’s smallest fitness tracker - to prove it.
Jawbone Up24 review
Jawbone’s UP24 fitness tracker adds Bluetooth wireless connectivity, making one of the simplest, most easily wearable trackers even simpler to use.
Garmin Vivosmart review
We review Garmin’s Vivosmart, a fitness tracker so robust, it might be closer to a smartwatch in functionality, but so sleek you can wear it anywhere.
Microsoft Band review
The Microsoft Band wearable fitness device and smartwatch packs 10 different sensors into one amazing package, a technology feat to be sure. But Microsoft lost sight of function somewhere along the way -- and ended up building an unwearable wearable.
