Wearable tech is quickly rising in popularity due to allowing us to be far less hands-off and still be able to use our devices. In other cases, wearables do a specific job better than anything else on the market, such as a Fitbit tracking your workouts better than your phone could.

There are wearables for online gaming, wearables for working out, and even some for sleeping. Here are the best pieces of wearable tech you should know about.

Oculus Quest 2

The Quest 2 by Oculus is widely regarded as the best VR gaming headset on the market right now. The 120Hz refresh rate and 100-degree field of view will make you feel like you haven’t even left real life.

These new models have also had their storage capacities increased, with the larger of the two now being able to store up to 256GB of data. The Oculus also feels like games were built for it, as opposed to the headset being built for it, and coming in at a very reasonable price of $300, this is a steal for what you are getting.

Smart Glasses

Ray-Ban has joined the Metaverse to create a line of smart glasses that can capture everything around you in a photo or video format. The glasses also allow you to shoot videos up to 30 seconds long.

In addition to the photo and video capabilities, you can also make and receive calls and listen to music. What sets these apart from other smart glasses is the style, as the whole device is wrapped in the iconic Ray-Ban Wayfarer shell.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch has become the biggest name in wearable tech, offering users almost all the same capabilities that you can find on your iPhone. You can send and receive messages and calls, check emails, and browse the web if you want.

The Apple Watch also has multiple fitness-related options, as it can track how many steps you have taken, how much activity you have done, and generally how active you are.

Fitbit

If you want something that is more fitness-focussed, then a Fitbit is for you. Depending on the model, it can track everything from the number of steps you have taken to your heart rate, how many stairs you have climbed, and the quality of your sleep.

A Fitbit is easily the best piece of tech to wear if you are looking for something that can give you to-the-minute health info no matter where you are.

Core Body Temperature Sensor

A new trend in fitness is training at higher temperatures and raising your core body heat. The main problem that people face is how do you know when you have reached the ideal temperature, and how do you know if you are getting too hot?

A Core Body Temperature Sensor is perfect for guiding you down your heat training path and keeping you at the perfect temperature without being too low or dangerously high.

Airofit Breathing Trainer

The Airofit Pro Breathing Trainer is the perfect workout tradition for those who have asthma, athletes, and those who may have suffered from severe pneumonia or something similar. Breathing training is ideal for strengthening your lungs and your cardiovascular abilities.

The sensor comes with an app, which offers you daily breathing techniques and exercises depending on what you need.

Bose Sleepbuds

Not all wearables are designed for entertainment or for exercise; some of them are designed to make particular activities easier and more enjoyable. The Bose Sleepbuds are made to make falling and staying asleep much easier.

The headphones will play a selection of sounds and songs designed to get you sleepy, help you fall asleep, and finally keep you asleep. The sounds fit your sleeping patterns, keeping your brain calm and relaxed throughout the night.

HP Reverb G2

The Reverb G2 from HP is setting the standard for what VR headsets are capable of. Not only can you play virtual reality games and the regular VR things you already know, but the Reverb G2 has features made for designers.

You are able to create plans and prototypes of products, design rooms, and buildings, and use it to train new employees or teach classes, and it can be used in the medical field. The Reverb G2 is the first step toward having a VR headset that allows you to do anything.

SubPac

The SubPac is a brand new name in gaming sound. The backpack is designed to transform deep bass sounds in your game, into a tactile experience that you can feel in your body. Think of it as feeling a shockwave after a loud explosion.

While controllers have had vibration and tactile capabilities for a long time, we haven’t seen the same thing with sound. The SubPac turned the incredible sound design of games into something you can feel.

Levi’s Commuter

The Levi’s Commuter x Jacquard is a jacket with built-in tech that allows you to use your devices by using hand swipes and movements. The sensor is in your sleeve and allows users to answer calls, take photos and play music without looking at their phone or watch.

The jacket is designed for those on the go and is marketed as being a way to stay connected without being distracted.
