Wearable gadgets are everywhere , and it ’s not just the big boy who are looking to get in on the action . A handful of smaller and , in some instances , unequaled takes on the burgeoning course are popping up on crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter . Here are five of the most promising action trackers of the future that you could back today .
Smart: A heart rate monitor for your noggin.

SMART is a middling straightforward take on the somewhat antiquated heart rate varan model . From the above demonstration , it appears as though the secular sensor is as well as whichever core rate strap the mental test dummy is wearing . However , her charge per unit in the demonstration is relatively dispirited , and if it ’s anything like the Basis B1 , it might not accurately quantify your BPM once you ’re in the zone .
Amiigo: An activity tracker that knows everything you’re doing without you having to tell it.
It might look like every other carpus - weary activity monitor , but the Amiigo not only append a plethora of sensor to track your heart pace or pelt temperature , it also claims to know what you ’re doing without you tell it what you ’re doing . Comprising a watchstrap and skid clip that cultivate independently but jointly air feedback to your mobile gimmick , Amiigo can supposedly decipher the difference between jumping jacks , a jog and idle lifts .
Instabeat: Swimmers, here is your gadgety training aide.
Swimmers are really getting screwed when it comes to natural action trackers , mainly because they all track bipedal campaign . And as any natator will tell you , tire a pectus shoulder strap when preparation is the opposite of ideal . Instabeat claims to be able-bodied to get across your heart rate and relay that information to a tiny display in your goggle with an truth pace of 97 percent .
Embrace+: Is this the answer to the smart watch?
So this does n’t seem that much unlike than the “ overbold ” watches that you’re able to clean up today . But it ’s unlike in that it ’s just a simple bracelet that lights up when a newfangled e-mail , tweet , Instagram tag , or any other number of notifications pop up on your phone . So , for instance , you may colour - code emails violent or phone calls gentle minimize the indigence to extract out your phone . Not a big thought .
Lit: When you’re shredding the gnar, this will tell you just how hard you’re shredding the gnar.
According to NZN Labs ’ Indiegogo page , the literature is capable to quantify a score free-base on g - forces , air time , jump , spin and whatever else non - mainstream jock are into , like motocross or surfing . As someone who participates in non - traditional sport , I can separate you that this is super appealing but how the heck are they doing it ? The specs for the Lit admit an “ innovative ” 6 - axis sensor , an “ extreme gyro range ” to valuate gigabyte - forces , and it also uses your phone ’s GPS for even more accurate mensuration .
