A Dedicated Follower of Fashion
Tuesday, January 6, 2015 @ 4:29 PM
Me? a DFF ! not since the 60´s when my wine coloured suede jacket with leather edging was considered the epitome of style. Now I find myself gazing at a tasteful blue disc looking like a watch. But much more than that, for this is a wearable ! and fashionable as well - better than the traditional Xmas jumper This tracks steps, distance, time, activity and sleep. A quick double tap on the otherwise blank face will tell me the time in rather nifty leds showing only the relevant hours and minutes, not with useful clear numbers - simply position on the dial. A bit like a sundial really, but that is progress. This, of course, syncs to my smartphone via a great big computer in the sky and I can see trends, progress and historical data. I can join up with friends, not real friends you understand, but other fashion leaders for this is the next big thing. Fitness and fashion - a winning combination.
The down side ? yet more personal data flying around the ether just begging to be linked to FB, twitter or any other social site. How long before an enterprising life assurance company offers a discount for regular exercise ? - montitored and reported by my fashionable friend.
I hope you enjoyed my first blog, thanks for reading
