Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital here we are with the well graph now to be clear guys unlike a lot of the
things we're going to be looking at at the show this is not necessarily a smartwatch it's well it's a wellograph
it's meant to provide you with a picture of your overall health and well-being so
it includes the usual watch functionality of course there's a
there's a screen you can have different watch faces and stuff like that you can
have analog digital I mean obviously It's All Digital but don't worry too much about that it does have a sapphire
crystal screen covering so I can go ahead and I can take uh they're doing a
demo with some exacto knives where they're scratching it and showing it that it doesn't scratch now what
functionality does it actually have on board it has a heart rate monitor an
activity tracker and a running watch so
I'll show these to you guys one at a time we'll probably just do this in b-roll so first up you can see the heart
rate monitor works with a series of green glowing dots on the back I don't
know exactly how they work but check this out guys there you go it goes like
that monitors your heart rate in real time it stores your data for up to four
months so what that means is it can give you all kinds of useful data it can tell
you about your resting heart rate it can tell you about how you compare to other
people your age it can tell you your Fitness age and it can even act as a
motivator giving you for the activity tracker functionality a little heart
that fills up as you do more things that day the podometer also works in real
time so you could literally I mean I don't necessarily recommend doing this
but you could literally walk down the street and have the podometer updating
you in real time how much you're walking that day in terms of charging this is
always a question that I have about these kinds of things micro USB to a
base station but other than that you go ahead and throw it on a base station for
the night it comes with two different straps so it comes with a NATO strap as
well as a leather strap so you can decide if you want something that's
going to feel a little bit more appropriate at the office or something that's more appropriate for well going
out for a run if the you know run watch functionality is going to be something
that they're going to advertise about it overall it looks pretty stylish they are
asking for $320 for it though so there's
going to be a lot of competition in terms of Wellness monitoring as well as
smart watches over this year and I'm definitely excited to see how this one
fares when it comes out sometime around April of 2014 guys don't miss any of our
