Wrist-bound wearables are so last month, which is why one company is introducing an old concept with a new twist. Launched by fitness and health company Health o meter, a new line of products called “nuyu” is a full suite of tools to help users get and stay in shape. And one of the most exciting products is their new Activity Monitor, a fitness tracker that is not only easy on the wallet at only $48, but can also be worn on places other than the wrist.

For those of you who don’t want to be weighed down by a watch-like device, try clipping nuyu’s tracker on your belt, or better yet, tie it to your shoelaces. After all, that’s where most the work is happening anyway, right?

nuyu™ Personal Activity Monitor

According to the company’s website, this latest personal activity tracker “helps you get active and stay active by tracking your steps, calories burned, distance, and your light, deep, and restless sleep.” Like most other wearables, this data is then sent to any one of your smart devices (Android, iPhone, or tablet), allowing you to keep close tabs on your progress and goals. And thanks to Nuyu’s OLED screen, you don’t have to keep referring to your phone in order to keep track of your day’s activities — this new wearable’s easy to read interface allows for quick and convenient viewing wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.

Also released Tuesday in conjunction with the Activity Monitor is Health o meter’s Wireless Scale, which “sends information via Bluetooth to the Health o meter nuyu app, easily tracking weight and BMI over time to help monitor wellness goal progression.” Because of its seamless integration with the entire Health o meter suite, the scale allows users to easily keep tabs on their fitness goals, transmitting data directly to all connected devices.

The full nuyu line is still forthcoming, with its coaching plans (customizable 12-week guides tailored to your specific needs) and sleep system (a Bluetooth enabled mat that copies your circadian rhythm for truly restful sleep) yet to be released. But even at just 50 percent complete, it looks like Health o meter is on its way to some pretty transformative fitness, and it can only get better from here.

Don’t let CES fool you. All these pandemic gadgets aren’t going to save us
airpop active plus smart mask news yellow training

It was as predictable as the sun rising in the east. Long before the show even started, we knew this year’s CES was going to be less about self-driving cars and giant TVs and more about personal safety.

The pandemic – not to mention the fact that this year's show was completely virtual – practically demanded it. And you didn’t have to look far to find new takes on masks, air purifiers, and other gadgets that are meant to protect people. The only problem? A whole bunch of those products were crap.

Don’t drop your diet yet, but scientists have discovered how CRISPR can burn fat
The ODIN DIY CRISPR kit

A personalized therapy for metabolic conditions that are linked to obesity could involve removing a small amount of a person’s fat, transforming it into an energy-burning variation using CRISPR gene-editing, and then re-implanting it into the body, according to researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

In tests involving mice, the implanted human fat cells helped lower sugar concentrations in the blood and decrease fat in the liver. When the mice were put on a high-fat diet, the ones that had been implanted with the human beige fat only gained half as much weight as those that had been implanted with regular human fat.

Amazon’s Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) has a screen that moves so you don’t have to

At its annual fall event, Amazon announced new and refreshed Echo Show devices, including the Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) that can use the camera to act as a security camera.

The most impressive part of the Echo Show 10 is the intelligent movement feature. Amazon noted that while the device may be stationary, it understands that users are not. Since the Echo Show is so often depicted as being used in the kitchen, a room where customers move around a lot while cooking, the Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) is equipped with a motor that allows the screen to follow you.
