SPLICED TECH / ISSUE 01 Gadgets, Glorious Gadgets FitBit Flex This little gadget not only tracks steps taken, distance walked and calories burned, but allows users to create their own online profile and log food consumed and additional activities performed (strength training etc). It’s also waterproof, which means users never have to take it off. This allows FitBit to provide a frighteningly holistic picture of where a user is at in terms of health and fitness. Sleeping patterns, heart rate and mood are a few more aspects of health that FitBit Flex is able to track. Users can compare stats online or through the app and monitor one another, creating a little healthy competition. And the best part? It all syncs automatically and wirelessly with your smartphone or computer, so all your stats are there when you log in to check.
