The Gymwatch Is A Fitness Tracker And Personal Trainer Rolled Into One

There are many of us out there who want to get in shape and while we do hit the gym, we’re sure there are many who are clueless as to what we need to do. Sure we can run on the treadmill, use the rowing machine, hop on the bike, but what about other activities? A personal trainer is a great way to go about learning the right moves and right exercises, but they can be pretty expensive which is where the Gymwatch comes in.

Unlike most wearable devices like smartwatches, the Gymwatch will offer more than just your typical biometrics sensors like a pedometer, heart rate sensor, and so on. According to the description, the Gymwatch is “basically a personal trainer shrunk to the size of a watch.”

The Gymwatch will come with a bevy of your usual sensors and in Free-Mode, it will be able to collect and measure data so that you can track your own progress. However if you wanted a little guidance, Guide-Mode comes into play and will link up with an app on your smartphone in which the app will not only help keep count during your exercises, it will also be able to tell you if you’re doing the exercise wrongly based on the measures of your movement.

Of course we can’t speak as to how effective the personal training mode will be, since there’s really no substitute to an actual personal trainer with years of experience, but if you don’t want to fork out for a personal trainer, perhaps the Gymwatch could prove itself to be a viable alternative. If you’d like to learn more or pledge a donation, hit up its Indiegogo page for the details.

The Rufus Cuff Will Put A 3-inch Screen On Your Wrist

The Rufus Cuff Will Put A 3 inch Screen On Your WristOne of the things that smartwatch makers are doing is that they’re trying to replicate the same size and comfort that normal watches offer, with the difference being that these watches are a lot more interactive and will do more than just tell the time. That’s one way of going about it, but what about those who’d rather a much bigger display?

Well that’s where the Rufus Cuff comes in and it is really is a “monster” on your wrist, at least compared to smartwatches. The Rufus Cuff will pack a 3-inch display and will come with a host of features that users might appreciate. This includes GPS, voice control via a built-in microphone, speakers, a camera, and even has access to the Google Play Store!

The device (we’re not sure if it can be considered a smartwatch anymore) will also play nicely with both Android and iOS devices. Interestingly enough it goes beyond what smartwatches can do and can even connect to the WiFi on its own, meaning that you won’t have to rely on it pairing with your phone for connectivity.

Now we have to admit that a 3-inch display is a little big as far as wrist wear is concerned, but if you don’t mind the size and actually appreciate the size since it would make surfing a lot better, you might want to head on over to its Indiegogo page where they are currently seeking funding. As it stands the project has managed to raise close to $180,000 which is shy of $20,000 from its goal and with 7 days to go, there is a chance that they might make it.

Nintendo Power Glove Oven Mitt: For Gamers Who Bake and Bakers Who Game

Most oven mitts and gloves are so boring. But not this one. No sirree, this Nintendo Power Glove inspired oven mitt is the closest to fun and awesome that an oven mitt can ever be.

power glove oven mitt 620x392magnify

It’s designed like the old Nintendo Power Glove and is made from heat-resistant silicone rubber, which makes sense because people don oven mitts to handle hot stuff.

The Power Mitt Oven Glove was created by Pete Hottelet, who made a couple for personal use back in 2012. Public demand quickly grew, which prompted Pete to launch an Indiegogo campaign and offer the mitts for sale. A minimum pledge of at least $39(USD) will get you one of your very own Power Mitts.

LithiumCard Is A Charger That Can Fit In Your WalletWant to be able to charge your phone wherever you go? If that prospect sounds appealing to you but you don’t want to have to lug around a huge external battery pack, you might be interested in the LithiumCard. The charger was originally an Indiegogo project but it has since surpassed its original goal of $30,000 and has managed to rack up almost $170,000 in pledges, so safe to say that this project is good to go.
