If you've been considering adding some technology to your wrist here are just a few to consider. 

Need it: Fitbit Blaze

You may have started your love with Fitbit with their tracking wristbands but my oh my how they have grown up. Fitbit Blaze, their newest venture in smart-wear, is so much more. The Blaze has everything your original Fitbit has -- but is also your notification central for your phone.

Unfortunately you can't respond to texts or answer calls but it does save you from having to pull out your phone if you were just going to hit ignore anyway. At this point in my life, I don't need it to be more than what it is so it suits me perfectly.

While others may complain about the black face being somewhat basic I love it for just that reason -- I can dress it up. The watch bands for the small square plastic Blaze are plentiful and I change my band multiple times a week depending on outfit, activities and more.  - Carolynn Buser

Don't forget it: Kapture


Sometimes moments passby before we can remember or record them. For my part, I'm a pretty forgetful person so I'm often going back and trying to remember that great idea or quote that someone said yesterday. Kapture comes to the rescue by sending the last 60 seconds it heard to your phone (via Bluetooth) with a simple double tap. I've used it in work meetings, out with friends, and as a simple note-to-self device to rescue thoughts and ideas from being lost in the fog of my scatterbrain. The Kapture app lets you filter and edit the klip so you can keep just what you want. Available from kaptureaudio.com. - Nick Barth

Wear it: Moto 360

The Moto 360 is a beautiful piece of smart technology. I loved the look of it and it adds quite a bit of weight to your arm. The 360 does everything the Fitbit Blaze does notification wise but also allows you more functionality. The Blaze is a fitness tracker with functionality built it -- the 360 is a true smartwatch. You can use voice commands as well to do things like check the weather, search, or (more usefully) respond to texts via Google and voice recognition. - Carolynn Buser
