Fit Fashion
Wearable tech and on-the-go gadgets
With countless ways to exercise by land and sea along the Emerald Coast, paddleboarders to pickleball enthusiasts are seeking the latest and greatest gadgets. From wearable technology to athletic-enhancing accessories, 2026 brings a host of health-oriented, fashion-forward investments.
Omorpho G-Vest
Add intensity to any workout by sporting a weighted vest. Weighted vests can often be big and bulky, but Omorpho’s G-Vest was designed with a woman’s body in mind. Streamlined and stylish, this vest provides both a zipper and cinchable sides channeling the popular corset style in shades of pink, lilac, navy, gray, and black.
Larq Bottle PureVis™
Being constantly in motion with our emotional support water bottles can leave us wondering just how clean a bottle can be. One trendy and tech-savvy water bottle, the Larq Bottle PureVis, tracks your water consumption while self-sanitizing. PureVis™ uses nontoxic UV-C LED to prevent bacterial growth. Hydration and cleanliness levels can be tracked via the Larq app.
HidrateSpark PRO Smart Water Bottle
Hydration is key, whether you’re an athlete or simply surviving the Florida heat. The HidrateSpark bottle tracks your water consumption, ensuring your hydration goals are met. Throughout the day, the bottle lights up with a customizable color, reminding you to take a drink. Customize the glow to match your outfit or mood each day.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
Arguably the most high-tech wearable fitness tracker is the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This modern watch tracks any kind of workout imaginable and can even be a catalyst for detecting sleep, blood pressure, or heart issues. For the avid outdoorsman, runner, hiker, or continuously active person, this is a worthwhile investment. Because this model uses satellite, you can go without your phone and make calls, send texts, or listen to music and podcasts while active.
Oura Ring 4
The latest iteration of the Oura ring is sleeker, smoother, and smarter than ever. Go classic with gold, rose gold, silver, platinum, or black; or make your fitness tracker an enviable pop of color with the new ceramic options—navy, turquoise, lilac, or white. Once secured on your finger with the app downloaded, this ring tracks your sleep, activity, heart rate, stress, menstrual cycle, and more.
Ring or Watch?
The watch and the ring lead the way in the realm of wearable fitness tech. While we feature two of the most popular options here, the brands and options are vast. Choosing the one that most aligns with your life can be dependent on a variety of factors; for example, an Apple Watch wouldn’t be ideal for an Android user. When deciding between a watch and a ring, it often comes down to function and fashion. Rings tend to stand out less as they are small, sleek, and easily slipped on without any screens. Most claim they are easier to sleep in, and many brands are waterproof. While there is no screen display for your tracking, you can head to the compatible app to view all stats. Others desire the screen to view their stats in real time. For this reason, a watch—especially the large screen Apple Watch and Garmin models—might be the way to go. Many brands also have the option of interchangeable watch bands that can be switched out from soft, casual bands to upscale options.
