We slightly question the usefulness of this type of fitness tracker, and there are an awful lot of them coming out now. However, if you're in the market for one, this is definitely one you should consider...

Sleek, smooth no button design, Touch screen, Smart Notifications, Vibration alerts, Water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM), Move reminder
OLED display is difficult to see in direct sunlight, Only one alarm, and no way to add more

With April rapidly approaching, what's a fitness enthusiast with a geek streak to do? Ultimately, it comes down to which proclivity is stronger and what your budget will handle. The Vivosmart is not a smartwatch, nor does it try to be--which is, well, sma...
Abstract: Vivosmart is the newer, smarter successor to Garmin's first fitness tracker, Vivofit. Other than tracking your fitness activities, Vivosmart can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and display notifications. The comfortable rubber wristband comes i...
