In case technology isn't thoroughly incorporated enough into your life, more electronics companies are jumping on the wearable tech trend.
With such devices as headphones that monitor heart rate and wristbands that track fitness, wearable health and wellness product sales will likely rise from $3.3 billion last year to $8 billion in 2018, according to research firm Parks Associates and the Consumer Electronics Association.
This week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will feature hundreds of new products like the fitness-tracking wristband, which has an OLED touchscreen, USA TODAY reported.
Razer, a PC gaming company, is getting into the mix with the Nabu smart band.
"We are calling it a cross between a smartwatch and a fitness band," Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan said of the gadget that tracks fitness activity and delivers phone calls and texts. "It's a wearable device focused on helping you live smarter."
The Nabu, which is available to app developers for $49, has two screens: a "public" one that shows alerts and a "private" one that can be viewed when the device is flipped open. The private screen holds such data as texts, emails and activity.
Razer's new device, which should hit stores in March, is also expected to support apps for Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, according to USA TODAY.
"Smartphones have become indispensable gadgets," Tan said. "Now everyone wants to take a step even further. They are comfortable wearing technology and incorporating into their daily lives."
LG also plans to further implement technology into its customers' lives with the LifeBand Touch. The fitness gadget has an OLED touchscreen display, which turns on automatically when the wearer rotates the forearm it's on, showing time, distance and speed of a walk or run. The LifeBand Touch doesn't yet have an announced price.
The company will be offering Heart-Rate Monitor Earphones that can stream heart rate through Bluetooth to the LifeBand Touch's display.
