Products / Technology

Withings is taking the fitness watch industry to a new and affordable level with the introduction of the Activité Pop this month. The watch serves as both timekeeper and fitness motivator.

 

The sibling to the original Withing Activité comes with a $150 price tag and whole slew of new features. For starters, you’ll be able to sync this baby up to your phone through Bluetooth. It’s equipped with a pedometer for step tracking and an accelerometer to help keep track of your sleeping habits, too. You can even leave this thing on at night and set it to vibrate to wake you up in the morning to help get you going.

 

 

Since the watch is waterproof, you don’t even have to take it off when you shower. The Activaté Pop comes with a Health Mate tracker app that gives suggestions, after tracking your habits, to help you improve your performance. It’ll offer suggestions on ways to walk more and lets you challenge your friends on the Activity Board to see who can engage in the most fit-friendly activities each week.

 

At night, the watch monitors your sleeping habits by tracking both your light and deep sleep cycles, along with how often you wake up. It then offers suggestions for getting more rest in bed.

 

The watch has been available overseas for a few months but is finally hitting the United States this month. Learn more at withings.com.

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.

One night for dinner, our group put on our best tropical attire and headed to Velas Vallarta for a Teepee Dinner right on the beach.
