With the London Marathon last week several reports came out showing that sports watches and fitness trackers were not as accurate as hoped. For most enthusiasts, this is quite well known and companies even sell devices to improve accuracy, for example, the Garmin Foot pod will override GPS information to create a more accurate result….
As a geek and fitness fantastic I love a good fitness tracker or running watch. I love being able to keep track of my progress, and the growth of apps such as Strava proves that everyone else is too. The market is a bit of a minefield though; you have devices ranging from £30 up…
At the start of the year, I was sent the Modius Health headset to review, this weird looking headset claims to promote fat loss via vestibular stimulation. It does this by shooting small amounts of electricity into your head via 2 pads placed on your mastoid bone behind your ear. The company has some impressive…
If like me, you spend all day sat behind a computer screen, you are probably aware of the health consequences of being sat down immobile all day. Over the past few years, we have seen a boom in sit/stand desks which aim to alleviate some of the issues we face. Then there are more extreme…
I have reviewed quite a lot of fitness trackers, and sports watches now, from cheap to expensive. One thing that is common with them is that they are all a bit ugly. The Suunto Spartan is possible the most attractive one I have reviewed; if you don’t mind the sports watch look, none are suitable…

I have previously reviewed the Garmin Edge 1000 which is arguably the best bike computer on the market, or at least it was until the 1030 came out. However, at an RRP of £499, it is worth about 50% of my actual bike and is a bit over the top for my needs and most…

In the past year, I have used both the Garmin 235 and Suunto Spartan Trainer on a regular basis. The Garmin was bought in the Black Friday sales 2016 for £170, and you can pick up the Spartan Trainer for about £200. At the time I would have loved to buy a Fenix 3 but…
Amazon is an excellent source of cheap alternatives to expensive branded smart technology. I particularly love the fitness trackers that use the Very Smart Pro app. Amazon is also a safe way to get cheap Chinese Android phones where you have the backing of Amazon customer service. I thought I would broaden my horizons and…
**Update: I have posted an 8-week update review on the Modius here ** Update 2: You can now buy Modius from Amazon for just £269.00 at the moment.
