This cool fitness watch is yours for $94, and it tracks steps, sleep, and sex

By

Geeksphone, the Spanish company best known for jointly developing the super-secure Blackphone device, has relesased its first wearable. Under the name Geeksme, it’s a fitness/lifestyle tracker that in addition to all the usual fitness tracking stuff like step counting and calorie burn, gives the wearer the chance to monitor their sexual activity.

Release and specs revealed

Geeksphone has been teasing the watch’s release for a while, but finally in mid-October, it put the wearable on sale through its own website, and provided all the spec details we could want.

Geeksme BrandMovie LifeLoversWatch

The circular face has a monochrome OLED screen with a basic 64 x 64 pixel resolution, and it’s covered in tempered glass, and wrapped in an aluminum body. The strap is made of a washable elastomer and measures 18mm across. The watch face is 32mm in diameter, and the whole splash resistant package weighs around 28 grams.

Progress towards your daily goal is indicated by 12 LED lights around the screen’s edge, and there are four different modes — fitness, sleep, love, and ecological — about which we’d heard things before. A tiny 55mAh battery is inside that will last for about five days before needing a 90-minute recharge, and Bluetooth 4.0 is used to connect to a supporting app on your Android or iOS device.

The Geeksme watch costs 100 euros, or $94 plus local tax and shipping.

Four modes, including sleep and sex tracking

Geeksme spent a year on development and design of the watch, and also found time to come up with four main modes of operation. Ready for the ridiculous names? They are g!fitness, g!sleep, g!love, and g!ecological. Obviously, it’s the sex tracking mode, called g!love, that’s getting the attention. However, Geeksphone’s quick to point out this is an optional feature, and just a part of leading an overall healthy lifestyle.

Activating the feature right before you get intimate with your partner will provide you data on the amount of time you spend, the intensity, and calories burned, plus how often you have sex. Post-coitally, you can rate the experience inside the Geeksme watch, which won’t ruin the moment at all. Naturally from the makers of the Blackphone, if you choose to share both your upright and horizontal jogging activity, it’ll make sure all the data is kept private and confidential.

The g!fitness mode will count your steps, measure calorie and fat burn, and provide graphs and stats inside the app. Wear the Geeksme at night and it’ll keep you informed of light and deep sleep patterns, how long you spend asleep, and if you woke up during the night. Finally, the g!ecological mode lets the wearer log activities that can be used to establish their impact — positively and negatively — on the environment.

Eventually it will also perform a few smartwatch-style functions, including call and message notifications, but this will arrive as a software update in the future. The Geeksme wearable communicates with an app for Android and iOS smartphones, and has a 30-day memory of its own, so you won’t need to sync it everyday.

Visit Geeksme’s website here, where you can order the watch right now.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
