France-based Weenect extends its family geolocation products with a small, light collar to keep track of the self-described most important member of the family, so that curiosity will never again kill the cat. As much as cats love their owners, those furry little adventurers aren’t always the best about staying in safe territory. Now, thanks to Weenect Cats, worried owners can keep track of their cat’s whereabouts from anywhere, so they’ll never have to worry about it getting lost, running away or otherwise causing trouble. The product has a net weight of only 0.06 lbs and a tiny size (2.2 x 0.8 x 0.4 inches), Weenect Cats is the smallest GPS tracker in the world. It can be clipped onto any collar or harness and carries a GPS chip and SIM card, allowing any owner to track their cat directly from a smartphone. Since it works through satellite reception like a regular GPS, they can be anywhere on earth and still show up on the screen. The cat’s owner can then retrace the steps of his companion with the history logs.
But it doesn’t just track them; it can take long-distance calls! Using a microphone and speaker, Weenect Cat is the first phone for cats, letting you call them up to make sure she’s okay, communicate with a person if she gets lost, or maybe just yell at her for teasing the dog.
The phone can be activated for an extra subscription cost. The tracker works in 80 countries worldwide without any extra costs as the tracker comes equipped with a SIM card.
Once the tracker has been turned on, a series of features allows you to locate your feline friend wherever it is via the companion app’ Weenect - GPS trackers. Such features include:
  • Custom warning messages: You receive notifications when the cat enters or leaves a predefined zone you set up (unlimited number of zones).
  • Tracking view via map, compass or augmented reality - through your device’s camera - with real time monitoring.

The Samsung Gear S2 comes in a versatile, circular design with an intuitive, custom UX and advanced features that enable users to enhance, personalize and bring more fun to their mobile experience.
The Gear S2’s unique rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures users will have a quicker, more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications.

Introduced in two different options – the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic – Samsung designed the Gear S2 to appeal to two distinct consumer preferences. The Gear S2 classic is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant Black finish with a matching genuine leather band. The Gear S2 is ideal for those who are on-the-go and have an admiration for minimal and modern design.

The device is a mere 11.4-millimeter thin, and brings a light and compact design to your wrist. It offers an incredibly vibrant viewing experience for a smartwatch, thanks to its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 x 360 resolution (302 ppi).

Misfit and Speedo are announcing a long-term partnership and the launch of a Speedo-branded activity, swim, and sleep tracker—Speedo Shine.   Speedo Shine will initially be available in retail exclusively at Apple stores worldwide on September 1st, as well as on misfit.com. 

Speedo Shine is the first device of its kind that was designed with swimmers in mind.  Proprietary lap counting algorithms embedded in the device’s firmware track a swimmer’s lap count with industry-leading accuracy, as validated by Speedo in-pool testing at their advanced development facility, the Aqua lab, and it will work for all stroke types. Speedo Shine syncs with the Misfit app for iOS and Android and displays laps and swim distance, along with calories burned and points earned.  The device will soon also work with Speedo’s personalized swim tracking app, Speedo Fit.

 
Speedo Shine is endorsed by elite Speedo athlete, fitness ambassador, and Olympic Gold Medalist Missy Franklin. "One of the most difficult parts of swimming for fitness is keeping track of laps and the Speedo Shine eliminates that challenge,” said Franklin. “With the Speedo Shine, you can focus on getting the most out of your water workout and it’s also a great looking accessory to wear.” 
Speedo Shine is made out of durable and beautiful aircraft-grade aluminum and is offered in new light silver color, Pure. Like the original Misfit Shine, Speedo Shine is waterproof to 50 meters. Extremely thin and comfortable, the device is meant to be worn both in and out of the water, and also tracks walking, running, cycling, and light and deep sleep. Since it never requires charging, Speedo Shine makes activity, sleep, and swim tracking a seamless experience.
