Last year Montblanc launched the Summit smartwatch and it looks like they are back this year with its successor, the Summit 2. However not only is the Summit 2 Montblanc’s latest smartwatch, but it will also be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset that should in theory help with battery life.
We know that Apple had previously used the Apple Watch in a study with Stanford to determine if the device was good enough to track your heart rate and rhythm. It seems that the study helped them come up with new features for the Apple Watch and improve on existing ones. Now it seems that the company could be interested in tackling another health aspect: binge eating.
Battery life for most smartwatches aren’t particularly long, and having to charge them every few days (versus traditional watches that almost never need to be charged) is a bit off-putting for some. However it seems that Apple has made some improvements with the Apple Watch Series 4 that could convince people to hop on board.
Smartwatches these days for the most part are seen as fashion devices. Sure they do come with various health and fitness tracking capabilities, but a lot of them have been designed so that they can be used for day-to-day wear like at the office or when going out with friends without it looking like you’re headed to the gym.

Usually whenever companies release brand new products or brand new software, more often than not there are issues that might have been missed during the testing phase. This is normal, although it can get rather annoying, which is what some Apple Watch Series 4 users are finding with their brand new purchases.
People get smartwatches like the Apple Watch for all kinds of reasons. Some buy it for fitness purposes, some buy it for smart features it offers, some buy it because it’s trendy, and the list goes on. However for those curious as to what most users use their Apple Watch for, the folks at Creative Strategies conducted a survey to find out.
Fitbit announced its updated Charge 3 fitness tracker in August and it has now confirmed the price and release date for this product. Customers will be able to choose from two models. There’s the Core version and a Special Edition which comes with NFC that enables Fitbit Pay. Both models will be available for purchase later this week.
While no one is debating the functionality or usefulness of a smartwatch, there are who are understandably apprehensive about using it. This is because smartwatches need to be charged, and for the most part most smartwatches don’t last more than a couple of days, and this can be annoying as it means additional chargers and cables that need to be brought around. This is versus a regular watch which can […]
Exercising while listening to music is a great way to get in the zone and to tune out any distractions around you.
