The summer break is almost coming to a close but there is still time to keep your little ones active. Encourage them to move their bodies by giving them the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2. You can get this fitness tracker for kids at a discounted price from Amazon and Best Buy right before school starts.

Garmin is one of the biggest names in the wearable industry, alongside Fitbit and Apple Watches. The company is especially known for its multiple lines of fitness and sports smartwatches like the Vivoactive, Forerunner, and Vivofit wearables. And while the child editions of these activity trackers do not pack the same hardware as the adult ones, they offer a nice range of capabilities.

The Vivofit Jr. 2 is the second generation of the child-friendly activity tracker by Garmin. Like the first Vivofit for kids, it tracks daily steps and sleep. Both models also allow parents to manage chores and create schedule alerts.

The first noticeable change on the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 that was not available in the first version is its cartoon-themed bands. This kids’ activity tracker now comes in several themes inspired by Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. Let them choose the design they like best to make it more exciting for them – that is, if you are not planning on a surprise.

Also, the bands now come in stretchy and adjustable forms. The stretchy bands fit wrists up to 147mm around. If you need a larger size, you can choose an adjustable band. Designs vary for either band forms.

Another physical feature that changed in the second Garmin Vivofit for kids is its display. It now has a color screen that can be customized. Users will also be pleased to know that this upgrade does not affect the battery life. It will still last for up to more than a year.

Just like its predecessor, the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 also syncs with the app. When kids reach their 60-minute activity goals, the app rewards them with a step in the Adventure Trail. This time around, the game matches the design of the band. Watch your child play the Star Wars, Disney, or Marvel game every day.

Save up to 38% when you get the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 on Amazon or Best Buy. Stocks are limited for some design, so hurry and place your order now.

XREAL announced its lower-cost xbx sub-brand earlier this year, and its first product is now available in the U.S. The xbx a01+ costs $299 through XREAL’s online store, putting it below the company’s more expensive AR glasses.

The a01+ is mainly built for watching videos, playing games, or using a laptop on a large virtual screen. It connects to compatible phones, handheld consoles, and computers over USB-C, so it works more like a wearable display than a standalone headset.

I took this Oppo smartwatch swimming, and it tracked everything except my excuses
The Oppo Watch X3 caught every lap, stroke, and my poolside talking breaks

I recently covered a report suggesting that people who use fitness trackers and smartphone apps tend to stay more physically active. While my experience sits far outside the scope of that study that involved cardiovascular disease, I now understand how a wearable can turn an ordinary workout into something you want to repeat.

I have been trying to get back into swimming, and the Oppo Watch X3 arrived at the perfect time.

Fi Ultra dog tracker

A runaway pup can race into a forest or across miles of open countryside, leaving its owner with a GPS tracker that suddenly has no way to report its location. But Fi is looking to solve that problem with the Fi Ultra, which is a new dog tracker that falls back on SpaceX’s Starlink network whenever cellular coverage disappears. The company describes it as the first dog tracker powered by T-Mobile’s T-Satellite with Starlink service. It is available now in the US for $199, plus a $20 activation fee and a $189 annual membership.
