Smartphone-Synced Fitness Bracelets

The Fitbit Force's New Update Recently Launched at CES 2014

— January 10, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Fitbit Force will help you push harder when it comes to your workouts. The fitness-tracking bracelet demoed its upgrade at CES 2014 which included adding caller ID to the already multitasking band. The bracelet will vibrate when you are receiving a call on your smartphone. It will also show the name of the person calling on the small digital display.

This product is perfect for people who have a hard time constantly checking their phones at work or home, or who are constantly on the go. The iOS update will be available next month and Android users will have the download available to them as well, just not at the same time the iOS update is available.

Fitbit devices require Bluetooth 4.0 for compatibility. The Fitbit Force tracks number of calories burned, stairs climbed, steps taken and the total distance you have traveled throughout the day. I think it may be time to get fit with force for the new year.
