Exercise is great, but knowing the specifics about your workout performance and progress can make your fitness regime even more successful.

Don got to talk with Fabian Walke, CEO of Gymwatch, about his company’s product. The Gymwatch is a fitness tracking wristband that monitors your workout performance, tracks your progress over time, and much more.

Gymwatch connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet so you can monitor your progress on the companion app. One of the coolest features of the Gymwatch is that it senses when you’re doing an exercise wrong and shows you via the app how to do it correctly. With over 900 weight-lifting and strength-training exercises and weekly software updates, Gymwatch will help you achieve your fitness goals in no time.

Gymwatch is available now on the Gymwatch website or Amazon for $199.

Kiband Keeps Families Close At CES

There’s a fine line between keeping a close eye on your kids and being an “overprotective” parent. Kids want to go out and have fun, and parents want to make sure they’re safe. What are families to do when those two well-meaning viewpoints collide? With Kiband, they don’t have to.

Nick got to talk with Jeff from Kiband at CES. Kiband is a smartband for kids that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to a parent’s smartphone to prevent getting lost. Parents just use the accompanying smartphone app to designate a range in which they can monitor their child’s whereabouts. When the child nears the boundaries of this range, their band will vibrate, and the parent will be alerted. Kiband gives kids the freedom they crave and parents the peace of mind they need.

Kiband will cost between $100-$120 and is available for preorder on Kiband’s website for delivery in June or July.
