From ‘The Witcher 3’ to ‘Her Story,’ Games Are Becoming Impossible To Compare

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again when the air is thick with top ten Game of the Year lists. It’s a fun time to reach out and grab a game you haven’t played yet that’s getting a lot of praise, which is what I recently did with Her Story, a game cropping up on a lot of year-end lists, and topping a few, as well.

Samsung Gear S2 Classic in Platinum and Rose Gold colors spotted at CES

Posted on by

Turns out the rumors were true. Two new color variants – Platinum and Rose Gold – of the Samsung Gear S2 Classic smarwatch have been spotted at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

The new Gear S2 variants – especially the Rose Gold model – shouldn’t come as a surprise given that competitors like Motorola, Huawei and Apple are already offering their smartwatches in that particular color option.

As for Platinum, Samsung apparently likes the color as some of its latest flagship smartphones such as the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are also available in Platinum variants.

If you aren’t already aware, the Classic model of the Gear S2 is currently only available in Black.

Misfit Ray keeps track of your fitness and sleep with a little flare

Posted on by

Misfit is back at CES with a new fitness and sleep tracker – the Misfit Ray. The wearable is equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer, multicolor LED and vibration motor for “inactivity nudges” for call and message notifications along with a silent alarm. Like other Misfit devices, the Ray is water resistant (up to 50 meters) and runs on a user-replaceable battery which lasts up to six months.

While its previous devices were designed to go unnoticed, the Misfit Ray has been meticulously crafted to be to look more like a fashion accessory than a fitness tracker.  The cylindrical aluminum body of the Ray comes is Rose Gold and Carbon Black and is 38mm long and a mere 12mm thick. The Misfit Ray comes with a rubberized bracelet band, but Misfit has engineered the Ray so that it can be used with custom wrist and necklace accessories.

In addition to keeping track if your daily steps and sleep patterns, the Misfit Ray also works with the company’s Misfit Link app which turns the Ray into a remote for your phone, giving your the ability to control the camera, music, send messages and even trigger ITTT recipes.

The Misfit way is available for pre-orders on Misfit’s website now for $99, but won’t be shipping out to customers until sometime this Spring.

Misfit Introduces Ray, The Most Versatile Activity Tracker Yet

LAS VEGAS, NV January 5th 2016—Today Misfit announced Misfit Ray Fitness and Sleep Monitor, the newest product in the Company’s line of design-forward wearables. Ray’s distinct deconstructed and modular design makes it Misfit’s most versatile activity tracker yet.

Only 12mm in diameter and 38mm long, Ray’s sleek form factor and clean lines make it uniquely wearable. Ray features a highly customizable cylindrical aluminum body, able to be worn with Misfit-branded or custom accessories on the wrist or as a necklace. Ray effortlessly complements watches, bracelets, and fine jewelry. Its elemental, interchangeable design makes it easy to personalize. Ray can be elegant or sporty, sensual or bold, striking or subtle.

Ray’s minimalist form conceals powerful engineering. It tracks activity and sleep with a 3-axis accelerometer and, like Misfit Shine 2, incorporates a vibration motor that allows for nuanced user feedback. Combined with a single multicolor LED eye, Ray provides inactivity nudges, text and call notifications, and a silent alarm. Like other wearables by Misfit, Ray never requires charging (the user-replaceable batteries last up to 6 months) and is water resistant to 50 meters.

Misfit Ray is compatible with Misfit Link, the groundbreaking software experience that turns your wearable into a remote to connect with the world around you. Communicate with friends, turn on your lights, change your music, take a selfie, and more, all with a few taps.

“We designed Ray to be your most valuable accessory,” said Tim Golnik, Misfit’s VP of Product and Design. “ Ray’s design distills the essential performance of our wearables and opens up a world of style possibilities.”

Ray comes in Rose Gold and Carbon Black, is now available for pre-order on misfit.com, and will be available in retail locations worldwide in Spring 2016.

Starting from $99.99, Misfit Ray is now on display at International CES at the Misfit booth (#73923, Tech West Sands Expo).
