Garmin Vivofit

Has anyone heard of these? Apparently they've got a heart rate monitor and count what calories your using and load of other stuff and even has a 1 year battery life compared to all the others that either don't have a HR monitor or have to be charged everyday.

How accurate do you think it will be?

I might get one this week give it a try and report back. I'm pretty clued up on what my cal needs are so it'll be interesting to see if it's any good.

There are a number of tech companies working on smart watches that will include all sorts of biometric sensors. Apparently Apple's rumored iWatch can even predict heart attacks by listening to the sound of your heart beating. Samsung should also release a better watch once there is someone to copy, their Gear watch is pretty useless at the moment.

Haha, loved the politics in that... sad but true...
