How I Found Perfect Fitting Jeans With The Touch Of A Button: LikeAGlove

December 21, 2016

Let me start this review of LikeAGlove by saying, I hate shopping for jeans!

Ask any woman and they will tell you how impossible it is to find a perfect pair of jeans. I would equate it to finding a needle in a haystack, but perhaps even more difficult. Between inconsistent sizing and cuts, few activities make you feel worse about your body. Over the years I have found myself, along with my friends, exploring the Barney’s denim bar and countless other stores on a mission to find the perfect pair.

This Fall I finally threw my arms up and gave up. I was looking for my first post-pregnancy pair of jeans while mentally struggling with the reality of my body shape and weight not being my ideal. I simply could not cope with one more thing making me feel worse about my body image. This led me to deciding to try a new wearable device called LikeAGlove.

90 Second Video Review: The Misfit Flash & Link

August 14, 2015

With a price of $19.99, how can you not be tempted to try the Misfit Flash, especially with its new Link feature? The inexpensive fitness tracker is not only waterproof but also features a 6 month battery life. To add icing to the cake, it features Link, which bring additional functionality to the device, such as a remote for your camera’s shutter or a controller for your music. We took the $29.99 version of the device (which includes a wristband) for a spin this week.

The first thing that strikes you about the Flash is how small and how simple it is. The device is barely larger than the diameter of a quarter and has no visible lights or buttons. Only when you press down on it (the whole device is the button) does it light up. The design is very slick. Unfortunately, once you get past the striking visuals of the device, you are hit by how cheap all of the materials are. While this is OK for the sensor itself and the clip, it makes the wristband extremely disappointing. Given how impressive the quality is of

Initial Thoughts About The Apple Watch

April 30, 2015

The Apple Watch has been shipping for almost a week. The team at Circuits and Cable Knit was lucky enough to get our hands on one. Almost 7 days in, the Watch has been a very interesting experience. We are excited to be providing a review but want to do it right. With that in mind, we have decided an extended use review was important. Yes, the Watch is an amazing little device, but how will we feel 4 weeks from now when we strap it on our wrists? Will it become something to rely upon or will we even take notice if we forget it one day? A device like this is so nuanced that we have come to the conclusion that this is the only fair way to review the Apple Watch.

That said, here are some brief initial thoughts.

Review: The Microsoft Band, A Jack Of All Trades

December 1, 2014

A few weeks ago Microsoft simultaneously announced and released the company’s first entry into the wearable technology market. Part fitness band, part smartwatch, the Microsoft Band tries to be a bit of everything. The $199 Band immediately sold out online and at Microsoft Stores, providing a rare hit for the Redmond based firm. Realizing how low the market penetration is for Windows Phone, Microsoft wisely made the Band also compatible with iOS and Android devices. Unsurprisingly, when used with a Windows Phone, the Band offers additional features such as Cortana integration. Cortana is an important feature of the band, allowing for interaction with the information displayed on the Band, but more on that later. The real question is whether the Microsoft Band offers a compelling alternative compared to a true fitness band or smart watch?
