The new Garmin Fenix 6 comes only 14 months after the significantly updated Fenix 5 PLUS range. The updates to the 5 PLUS were mostly software+hardware fixes and, this time round the updates we see in the Fenix 6 DO include some new smart & sport features but, most crucially, we are seeing the Fenix…
Amid some glitz and glamour, Fitbit today announced the Versa 2 model. Coming in at $/£/Eur199 it is a sensibly priced upgrade for existing Fitbit owners who want the latest, greatest nice-looking model with a sweet OLED screen. There is little here to attract many new customers unless, perhaps, you specifically want voice access to…
Huami Amazfit Stratos 3 Specifications The latest Amazfit Stratos multisport watch could be a market-beater for Huami/Amazfit. Certainly, the specifications look the part but only a good dose of testing prior to a review will see if the Stratos 3 can overcome the drawback of the sensor quality and interface of the promising previous model.…
Sources say that the new Fenix 6 range will be formally announced ‘at the end of the month’ (Thu August 29).

The Garmin Edge 530 is a refinement of the non-touchscreen, Edge 520 Plus and is an unexpected addition to Garmin’s 2019 range of Edge bike computers.

This is the 245 & 245 Music information, following on from the Garmin Forerunner 945 Specs Tri watch info that’s just been published. Again, it’s all pretty much as expected, so don’t get too excited. Specifically it is worth noting that the 245 Music version seems to contain MORE functionality than just MUSIC when compared…
The new Garmin Forerunner 45 GPS running watch is very likely to be a cut-down 245 that slightly builds on the features in the existing Forerunner 35. Along with the Forerunner 45 will be the slightly smaller Forerunner 45S. I’ve used Garmin’s high-level feature chart to indicate in the black boxes which new features we…

The new Fitbit Versa Lite Specifications and features are similar to those of the existing non-Lite model and the key standout differences are the lower price tag associated with its lack of contactless payments and lack of music support. The Fitbit Versa, Versa Lite, Versa SE & Ionic represent Fitbit’s alternative to the Apple Watch…
Garmin today announced their new heart rate monitor: HRM-DUAL It’s a more connectable, updated version of the old HRM3-RUN model and probably marks the start of new refreshes to many of Garmin accessories as we predicted way back in last year. Why this HRM? Why Now? Garmin’s HRMs are great. As are those of Garmin’s…
The Garmin Fenix 5 plus series is announced today and available to pre-order and shipping will start in late June/early July 2018.

The new Oura Ring marks a big step forwards for the Finnish activity-tech firm. The takeaway: Oura already make a ‘wearable tech ring’ that actually works! Indeed its sleep tracking is one of the best solutions available to consumers/athletes. This one should be good too….#BETTER I will follow up with a more detailed Oura Ring…
The Garmin Forerunner 645 is listed on Garmin’s website with the detailed specs BELOW. The specifications are broadly ‘as expected’ several weeks ago. A formal Garmin announcement is not now likely until around the time of CES2018. This looks to me like the basic physical hardware of the Vivoactive 3 (with more buttons and no…
Epson ProSense 367 – Specifications I’ve done a cut and past job on the official specs of the high-end device in the ProSense range and they are further below. I’ve been predicting (guessing) an Epson tri-watch for a couple of years but had given up hope. Hope has arrived. Like a London bus. Then TWO/THREE…
