<article> <section class="page"> <p> Misfit is best known for its simple, affordable fitness trackers, many of which resemble pieces of jewelry (http://www.macworld.com/article/3078998/hardware/misfit-ray-review-this-fitness-band-looks-like-a-bracelet-but-trades-function-for-style.html). But the Fossil-owned company is braving new territory—at least for itself—with its first touchscreen model, a round 44mm watch called Vapor.</p><p> People aren’t exactly clamoring to buy smartwatches right now, but Misfit thinks packing a heart rate monitor, 4GB of on-board music storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and fitness-tracking sensors including an accelerometer, altimeter, and gyroscope into one supersized, waterproof package under $200 will appeal to people who think smartwatches just aren’t that useful.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3154780/fitness-hardware/fossils-misfit-takes-on-apple-with-vapor-a-199-smartwatch-designed-to-stand-on-its-own.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Fossil's Misfit takes on Apple with Vapor, a $199 smartwatch designed to stand on its own (http://www.macworld.com/article/3154780/fitness-hardware/fossils-misfit-takes-on-apple-with-vapor-a-199-smartwatch-designed-to-stand-on-its-own.html#tk.rss_all) |
