Smart and fashionable ways to track your fitness, if you're over watches.
Smart jewelry pieces are a fun alternative to Fitbits or Apple Watches. They are stylish and have a variety of functions. Most will vibrate when you get a phone notification so that you can enjoy your yoga class without worrying about checking your phone. Many will track your heart rate, steps, and calories as well. If you’re trying to step up your wellness game (or if you’re just curious!), check out our guide to the best smart jewelry out there.
