The Echo Fit is a sports tracking smartwatch, unveiled at CES 2015, that proves that high-tech gizmos don't have to look ugly to be functional. This fitness wearable has a peppy and eye-catching appearance and simple, modern design but also manages to pack a fair bit of functionality. This watch works with third-party fitness apps and can display alerts from connected smartphones.
The watch works in conjunction with the Magellan Echo Utility app, and allows users to view data regarding steps taken, calories burnt, distance covered, sleep quality and more. The watch alerts you when you hit daily goals and can be paired up with a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor.
The Echo Fit is already available for sale and sells for $130 on its own or $180 with a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. It comes in black, blue, pink and grey color options.
