Wearables are becoming a bigger part of people’s lives, especially in fitness. With the recent Apple Watch launch, the market is heating up to produce the best and most accurate device to help us trim our waistlines. CCTV America’s Mark Niu reports.

Diet and exercise helped Mark Taylor lose 60 pounds over the past two years. He uses the Fitbit One to keep track of his steps and a Timex watch and wearable device to monitor his heart rate. Combined with a Fitbit scale, Taylor’s devices instantly share his metrics online with friends and family so they can cheer each other on or playfully taunt.

Two years ago, technology analyst, Tim Bajarin, suffered a heart attack. His doctor tells him to hit “10,000 steps a day,” but he found the most accurate step counter to be Nike’s Fuelband. Ironically, that’s also a device rumored to be discontinued, and many believe that Nike is focused on working with Apple on the recently announced Apple Watch.

Mike Bell, Intel’s new device group vice president and general manager who worked at Apple for 16 years, now head ups Intel’s wearables. He welcomes Apple as the competition. Bell said the question now becomes how big the wearable and fitness tech market will grow, and who will lead it with the best design and performance.

Fashion and functionality don’t always go hand in hand. But more clothing designers are taking on the challenge of making technology beautiful. Karina Huber has the story.

On Tuesday, Intel unveiled its own high tech watch, the Basis Peak. While this watch focuses more on fitness, comparisons to the Apple Watch are inevitable. CCTV America’s Philip TK Yin talked with Mile Bell about this topic.
