Hasta La Gadget!

Fitbug has just announced that they will be rolling out the new KiK Plans, which is an advanced personalized coaching aid which was specially designed in order for it to work with activity trackers so that one will be able to meet his or her specific health, weight and fitness goals, with a greater degree of accuracy. After all, whatever that can be measured, can be improved, don’t you think so? KiK Plans happen to be goal oriented 12 week programs which are created by leading experts in their fields, and it leverages on nine years of Fitbug user experiences, feedback and data to be what it is today.

You can purchase it with activation cards at retail or directly through fitbug.com, where individual plan prices will start from $19.99 onward. It will be made up of online and app based tools, rich media, webinars, dietary plans and expert advice which will hopefully come together with the entire family of Bluetooth Smart Fitbug wearables, where among them include the Fitbug Orb, Fitbug Go and Fitbug Air, where all three of them will retail for $49.95 apiece. KiK Plans are definitely the next step forward when compared to Fitbug’s innovative KiK digital wellness coach, and it is said that the first KiK Plans will be made available some time in the first half of 2014.

For better or worse, CES Unveiled is a thing. We actually find it terribly convenient—dozens of gadgetmakers under one roof. And we found some cool stuff too. Huzzah! We braved the throngs and fried-food-vapors for you, my dears. Here’s the best stuff we saw: More »

Not to be confused with a similar product, the UK-based Fitbug has unveiled a collection of new connected health gadgets here at CES. The Fitbug orb is button-sized tracker that measures calories, distance and even pace. The pedometer tech inside also monitors your sleeping pattern. Connectivity wise, it can hook up to iOS devices including the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch (5th generation), iPad (3rd and 4th generation) and the iPad Mini, while Android support will be limited to Samsung’s Galaxy S III. There’s three sync modes: Push, for instant updates, beaconing means you can send data at intervals throughout the day, or stream data to monitor your pace. It’s Fitbug’s first device to offer sleep tracking and will monitor your nighttime movements like we saw on Jawbone’s Up. It launches in white, black and pink and can be housed in a watch strap or its own neck pendant. It launches on Fitbug’s own retail site priced at £45 ($73). The Fitbug Wow Bluetooth-enable scales will connect to a similar list of iOS devices, although there’s no word on Android compatibility yet. You can monitor weight-loss (or gain) through the company’s refreshed website too, and the device will launch in March priced at £70 (£114) or £100 ($163), including the company’s Air activity tracker.
