Apple Watches and the Art of Standing for a Minute an Hour
Reading Time: 2 minutesA few minutes ago I looked at my Apple Watch and it said that I had not stood for the last two hours so I got up and walked around until it said that I had stood this hour. The irony is not lost on me that a watch would tell me…

Step Tracking with the Casio ABL-100WE
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Casio ABL-100WE range of watches look similar to the A-168 range of Casio watches with one key difference.
