First look at LG's Lifeband Touch fitness tracker

Fitness trackers are certainly a mixed bag. For some, they're the perfect companion to stay on point with fitness goals, and for others, they're overpriced baubles that require too much maintenance via apps or web applications. LG's Lifeband Touch fitness tracker made quite a splash at CES 2014. This device is said to feature a 2-5 day battery life, is compatible with Android and iOS, comes in different sizes and has a bright OLED display. LG features its own apps but the Lifeband can be used with MyFitness Pal, Runkeeper, and MapMyFitness services. Perhaps LG can bring something new to this wearable fitness tracker space after all.
