Wearables were on display at CES 2014. Here are some of the most interesting devices TechRepublic and CNET editors saw at the show.
This fitness watch has the look and feel of a high-end timepiece: it’s easily one of the best-looking wearables we saw.
The Lifeband Touch is more of a fitness tracker than a watch, but it tells the time and gets notifications, too: it’s part of a new wave of watch-meets-fitness bands at CES.
The Salutron LifeTrak may be a mouthful, but its clean look is eye-catching, and its fusion of smartwatch and fitness tracking holds promise.
View discrete notifications on the handsome yet affordable Martian Notifier, a pared-down yet sleekly designed update to last year’s Martian Passport that ditches the speakerphone but improves on its notifications.
The newly-redesigned Meta watch looks a little over-the-top but has a distinct style and lots of colors. The design comes from designers and executives from Vertu and Fossil and boasts a simple yet functional set of features.
Kuni Suzuk introduced Sony’s new wearable tech, Core, at CES 2014. Calling it the “heart” of Sony’s vision for wearables, Suzuk showed off the tiny fitness tracker, the “smallest device” Sony has ever made.
