Wellograph is a fancy wellness watch you’ll actually want to wear

By Caleb Denison November 10, 2014

While at the Luxury Technology Show in Beverly Hills, we ran into the Wellograph, a so-called “wellness watch” that aims to put the features of a fitbit into a fashionable watch you would be proud to wear with a fine suit, tuxedo, or, heck, even a Cosby sweater.

Seriously, though, the Wellograph is easily one of the better-looking activity-tracking pieces we’ve seen yet. And yes, it also tells time. Take a closer look at this watch which features a Sapphire crystal screen and easily interchangeable wristbands, among other fancy features.

Digital Trends’ Simon Hill reviewed the Wellograph, calling it a worthwhile purchase only if “you exercise in a suit.” However, having played with an updated version of the watch, we have a slightly different take: For those who live their life in a suit, the Wellograph is one of the few watches worth wearing that doesn’t look like a big rubber toy strapped to your wrist. Niche product? Sure. Worthwhile? You be the judge.

Samsung brings FDA-approved ECG monitoring to the Galaxy Watch 3

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 users are about to get access to a major new feature. Samsung has announced that it has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor on some of its smartwatches -- meaning that users of those devices can access the ECG Monitor app to check for heart rhythm irregularities, and even find out if they have signs of atrial fibrillation, or AFib.

Samsung isn't the first to offer this feature -- Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 4 with an FDA-approved ECG sensor in 2018. It's better late than never -- especially considering how helpful having access to an ECG sensor can be.

With Fitness+, the Apple Watch is having its iTunes moment

Apple Watch Series 6

The Apple Watch has become the latest Apple product to become less about the hardware and more about the software and services it enables. It’s a transition for the company that began years ago, but out of all Apple’s devices, the Apple Watch is the one with the fewest places to go, design-wise, and therefore a prime target for visual stagnation and a switch to pushing a new subscription service.

Think that’s a bad thing? It’s really not, and here’s why.
Watch design doesn't really change
In the early 1900s watchmaker Louis Cartier introduced the first Tank watch, a model that’s still made today, more than a hundred years later, with the majority of its distinguishing features intact. While I’m not calling the Apple Watch a Tank Solo rival, I am saying that watches don’t tend to change much, especially when the core aspects are exactly right.

How to use Apple Watch’s fitness features

Who needs a wristwatch when your smartphone -- which has nearly become an appendage in its own right -- is constantly at hand? People pondered that question for about half a second at the launch of the original Apple Watch, but no longer. One reason is that Apple has built an elaborate fitness tracking system into the Apple Watch that hooks into its Watch and Health iPhone apps. Together, they can help you track your long-term health and well-being and achieve your personal fitness goals. With its vast abundance of fitness features, your Apple Watch resembles a personal trainer that can assist you with sports, workouts, heart health, and sleep. We show you what the Apple Watch can do and how to use it.
Track your moves

Activity tracking is the key to the Apple Watch's fitness functionality. While it can count steps with the best of pedometers, that's just the beginning, because your watch also visually aggregates all your daily movements into three rings that you can view with a quick glance.
