Garmin is one of the most popular names in the wearable industry, alongside Apple Watches and Fitbit. It’s especially known for its multiple lines of sports and GPS watches, such as the Forerunner, Vivoactive, and Vivofit. And although the kid editions of these fitness trackers do not pack hardware as powerful as the adult versions, they provide a nice range of capabilities that are tough enough to make it through playtime.

Parents can assign chores and schedule alerts from the smartphone app. The Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 will then show kids their jobs to do, such as finishing homework and brushing teeth. This feature is perfect for children who need reminders or youngsters who procrastinate. Parents will also be able to add multiple profiles and view stats for each child, including steps, sleep, chore data, and daily activities.

With access to Garmin Connect, kids can invite their pals to friendly step competitions. It allows users to create custom challenges and leave comments for each other in the app when the challenge is active. The Vivofit Jr. 2 is also swim-friendly so there’s no problem wearing it in the pool.

Kids will also have an enjoyable time exploring theme-specific adventures integrated on the watch. The more they meet their daily activity goals, the more of the story they’ll get to see, with the addition of playing mini-games and challenges. Depending on the theme of the watch, children can hop on to adventures like playing ice skating with Anna and Elsa, planning a birthday surprise for Mickey Mouse with Minnie Mouse, and delving into magical kingdoms with Disney princesses.

Get your little one a Disney-themed Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 today for only $50 instead of the usual $80 when you order on Amazon. Marvel and Star Wars bands are also discounted at around the same price range.

Virtual taekwondo sounds like a gimmick until it solves the biggest fear of combat sports
The noncontact VR discipline is gaining momentum in Southeast Asia by keeping the athletic grind while reducing the injury risk that scares many people away.
Electronics, Screen, Person

Virtual taekwondo sounds ridiculous in the easiest way. Put on a headset, strap sensors to your body, kick at empty air, and call it a combat sport. Somewhere, Wii Sports is quietly stretching.

Athletes are still kicking, reacting, and gasping through the work. The difference is that the hits land on avatars instead of bodies.

This VR empathy game could be the start of something much creepier
Rekindle uses face-tracking biometrics to deepen player involvement, but the same idea could eventually shape therapy tools, safety systems, and emotionally responsive interfaces.
VR Headset, Accessories, Goggles

A new VR empathy game called Rekindle turns facial expressions into part of the controls. The game asks players to perform emotions, then watches their faces to see whether those reactions match the scene.

The first-person story centers on memory, identity, and empathy for the LGBTQ+ community. Players move through a dystopian future where sexual identity has been targeted and erased, collecting memory fragments tied to the protagonist’s experience.

Carely’s new wearable watches over aging parents so you don’t have to
Because "just checking in" shouldn't be your only safety net.
Carely feature image

Checking in on aging parents usually means playing a proactive game. Are they okay? Did they sleep well? Would you even know if something was wrong before it became serious? You have to be constantly vigilant and check in with your elders.
