When I first got the Apple Watch, I thought the three rings system was a clever way to track your activity, but ultimately thought it was inferior to apps like Runkeeper's Breeze app, which have dynamic step goals. Now, after about 10 months working on filling those rings
I've gone back and forth on my feelings on Fitbit's new fitness tracker/smart watch, the Blaze. My first reaction was "yikes," but that changed a bit the more I thought about it. Fitbit dominates the fitness tracker market with its Flex and Force

Stephen Hall on why he doesn't feel too bullish on smart watches. And while ASUS, LG, Huawei, and Motorola have some revamped hardware entries coming very soon, I’m just not that excited anymore. Why? Mostly because I just don’t have a compelling need for wearables in
