Tracking yourself can get expensive, with many wearables retailing for hundreds of dollars, but sometimes you just need a simple activity tracker to keep checks on your health and wellness. Point in case, the Buy Now , a wearable that tracks all the basics, without costing you an arm and a leg. The device normally retails for $70 but is currently discounted on Amazon to only $48, saving you 30 percent, or $20 on the already affordable device.
The wearable does everything you need from a fitness tracker without all the bells and whistles. It tracks heart rate, steps, distance, calories, and sleep quality, to give you a thorough view of your general wellness. All data links seamlessly into the free companion IOS and Android mobile apps, allowing you to check in on your stats without the need to squint at a small screen.
But that’s not to suggest the fitness tracker is rough on the eyes. Slim and lightweight, it features an award-winning design with a 0.42 inch UV-coated, scratch-resistant OLED touchscreen display, yet it’s still a low maintenance device, as it’s both water- and scratch-resistant (rating of IP67) with aluminum edges that form a subtle frame to visually reinforces the curve.
Unlike other fitness trackers that need charging every few days, or even every 24 hours, the Amazfit last for 20 days on a single charge. Beyond tracking your heart rate from your wrist with a power-efficient optical heart rate sensor, which is already a step up from basic fitness trackers, the Amazfit tracks both light and deep sleep levels. Easily set vibrating alarms to wake you up, or set more noticeable vibrations to notify you of incoming phone calls.
The Buy Now is designed to be affordable and normally retails for only $70 but right now you can purchase one on Buy Now for an even lower price of just $48.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
